I received these today (http://www.ebay.com....=item27ff00285d) and i'm wondering if these will bolt straight on or will they need modifying to fit. Any help greatly appreciated

Best idea would be to stick your head under the car and have a gander. If your current ones are just a big Y sort of thing id say theyll fit. Worst case an exhaust shop should be able to make them do for a reasonable amount

Yeah i had a peak under there a little earlier today and it kinda looked like they wouldnt match up. How much are we talking for a shop to mod them?

$100 or so maybe. Im not super familiar with the gen 4 exhaust though so dont quote me

From these two photos, does it look like they'll line up or not? Pic 1 . http://www.overl0ad....AB/IMG_1525.jpg Pic 2. http://www.empireperformance.com.au/275-thickbox_default/subaru-impreza-20l-25l-non-turbo-exhaust-header.jpg

Doesnt look like it. Id be getting a quote from an exhaust shop

[Soans]

Thought so. Oh well

I was looking at those for my car, whats the quality like? Can you post up a video of how it all sounds when you get them on?

Wrong headers, wont fit my car so I returned them. Quality was good though.

[Jock Calvert]

Ah no worries, well Im fairly sure ill have more luck on mine. See how we go!

[Soans]

Yeah I think you will. The quality was actually better than I expected it to be.

Hi Soans, 

So ive finally got my shit together and im, at last, gonna be able to get stuck into my car. Couple of questions on those headers - did they come with gaskets and an 02 sensor? 

Cheers

[Soans]

Yes came with all gaskets and bolts, no 02 sensor though. Iv'e been told you have to get the current one attached. 

[Jock Calvert]

Well gaskets is a good start... How hard is it to get the O2 sensor swapped over? Or, how much would it be for a shop to do it?

[Soans]

I don't think it would be too hard if you know what you're doing hahaha, but I think its also fairly cheap to get a shop to do it which is what i'd do. 

[Jock Calvert]

Yeah safety first. Ill be back with an update + video when I get them on! 

[Soans]

Keen to hear, still hunting for something I can fit to my car

best off getting a shop to do it mate.

 

its not a hard process, they just need to drill out a section of the header and make a bung for the o2 sensor to be put in there. slight modification and fab work. would just be a bit of extra labour required on the bill, would be best to get them to do it while fitting it IMO. 

[Andyjs2]

Should have bungs, I got a set for my gen 4 spec.b (ended sending EL instead of UEL) but still had the sensor bungs as far as I know

[Jock Calvert]

So I finally got those headers put on my car, and with a diff back from my local shop it sounds sick! Everything fitted up to my car no problem, easy peasy! Ill get a vid up ASAP
