Everyones thoughts are different on them. I like the sound and that's about it. I feel like my car drove better with the Stock headers but that could just be me.
No way I would have paid $350 for em aswell, but im patient. Ended up getting mine for less then a 1/3 of what you paid brand new, actually sold mine for more then what I paid
Go to Subaru and get some new gaskets too.

Got the leak sealed, but exhaust shop reckons it'll come back within a month or two.
Other then that my exhaust sounds great with them on.
Get out of my thread.

and as far as price... in WA if i waited till i found a secondhand pair i'd be putting em on the car for my son... (who isnt even a twinkle yet)...
so i guess i wont complain about the price... just wait anxiously for them to arrive... hahah
i thought my car drove better before i put the cat back on too actually... but she needs a service and a tune up... which i am doing directly after the headers go on... no point in tuning the car and then changing the setup....

no bubble to burst... i simply mean a standard tune up.. cause it seems to be running rich and sluggish...
what i meant by changing the setup, still would apply surely?? change something and the system would know.??
Think the word your looking for is "Service".
If its running rich then it'll be a blocked filter or knacker o2 sensor. Could also be a leak in the exhaust.

cant a mechanic plug it into a machine and diagnose whats wrong??
shouldnt be an exhaust leak... its only just had a new one done and it ran that way with the stock one one... i am getting more from a tank but...

You can clean or replace the o2 sensor and the AFM if you have one.
Yeah you can plug a diagnostic thing in and check codes. And reset the ECU. You can also plug in the plugs and read the error codes.
But That's just a service.

I'm talking to a guy at the moment that reckons he can get a 10% increase in fuel economy and up to 20% increase in peak power and midrange torque on my car. (whether I want to or not I don't know yet).
He told me he gives all customers a 1 month gaurantee, where if your not happy with it, he'll either remap the ecu or flash it back to stock.

just to chime in, Subi ECU's are actually quite flexible.. obviously not as good as an aftermarket setup, but minor changes can be done pretty easily
The OBDII compliant Subaru ECU's are better then an aftermarket ECU for 99% of applications.
