soloz2 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I feel your pain! I just had to put a couple upgrades on hold to do the headgaskets on my wife's scooby Current: 16 Crosstrek Premium w/ Eyesight & 05 Outback XT 5MT Past Subies: 14 FXT Premium, 14 WRX hatch, 06 Legacy 2.5i SE 5MT, 98 Outback wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat4 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 1 Headgasket in november and then the rear main and the opposite HG couple weeks ago. It was a tough decision but I chose to have a car that runs rather than one than sounds sexy but doesn't run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I tell you if i see a 06+ EJ253 or find one in a junk yard I am going to buy it and rebuild it and put it on a stand in wait. I can't lie i will probably build it for boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat4 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 that wouldn't be a bad idea at all. I would do that but I'm going either 2.5GT or STi once I'm out of college in a couple years. Don't plan to keep the 2.5i any later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soobydoo Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 so i have an 05 2.5i so this means that i can buy a borla uel header and it will bolt stright up since the 05's have a stock uel manifold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to check your current exhaust setup. If you have one header, then you are good. if you have two headers and midpipes than its a bit more difficult. There are pictures in the stickies, if you go back far enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzrulz Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hey GEE-OTTO, on your WRX header setup, what about your first cats o2 sensors? Didn't get any CEL? Have you just mate the mid pipe to the manifold? That is actually the setup I plan to and still questioning on how to do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyjneilson Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I totally agree that the uel brings out the rumble and not trying to create a debate at all... but I believe the uel to just bring it out more more rumble because My buddy has a 2.5i with a cat back and it rumbles nicely without UEL's. And in no way does it sound like a honda as others have eluded to... just personal opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First sensor the (AFR sensor orange wire) http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r182/GEE-OTTO/ge_hdr4.jpg I took the "first" sensor and put it in the area just upstream of the flange.

The stock manifold mated to a CBE isnt terrible by any means several owners have axleback setups that sound great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippineMango Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I am planning to install a Megan Header on my 08 2.5i. Heres the header: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MEGAN-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-HEADER-05-09-SUBARU-LEGACY-GT-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZMakeQ3aSubaruQ7cModelQ3aLegacyQQhashZitem256549d164QQitemZ160613126500QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I have two questions: 1. Can someone please tell me if this is an UEL header? I dont think they posted what type of heaader it is. 2. Would the check engine light come on after I get it installed?

GEE-OTTO Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 How are you going to install this header? Chop it? reroute the up-pipe ? You've got a LOT of research to do before the install trust me. You have to plan it out a little better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippineMango Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 ^^^ If you buy the eBay header, you MIGHT have to cut it like i cut mine to fit your engine, THEN get a simple pipe bent to mate it to the stock catback and here is why : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/NismoGirl/subaru/before.jpg This is how the Borla Header (eBay header) looks when bolted on the car before any changes. You see that the stock mid-pipe will not work. So what you do to make them work is remove the stock mid-pipe and have them make a pipe that connects the header flange (The end of the header ) to the stock cat-back exhaust like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/NismoGirl/subaru/4.jpg You can leave the stock system on or get an aftermarket system as they will all bolt up no problem I'm prolly gonna have a shop do the same setup as you have here. Would I hear the rumble even without taking out the catalytic converter and the stock exhaust? And what I really wanna know is if I do this setup, would the check engine light turn on?

GEE-OTTO Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 First we (you ) need to start at square 1. That setup will throw CELs and isn't exactly bolt on. I had that setup but switch to what was my current setup ( my car got rear ended this wknd ) Are you going with that setup or the LGT stock manifold setup? Once you choose then you should look at the supporting parts. I personally would NOT got this route as you have to modify a lot to make it work well.

Gawnshanning Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 So all in all I can't just buy the headers and throw them in? I'm going to need to do some type of work to get the to fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Rallisport racing makes direct fit headers. This thread is 2 years old '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
