Quick tip. A bottle jack and 2 pieces of wood between the headers to open them up when you get them 👍
just a warning, they melted a hole through and cracked a power steering line on mine, fluid started shooting everywhere. i would advise some sort of heat reduction
hey the hole in the headers is probs for an o2 sensor, and thats why you have teh code too :)
Idk, if you are talking about the hole I welded up, it was a small pin hole where they welded the pipe to the the flange, and I put the stock o2 sensor where it belongs on the new headers, but after wrapping the headers with heat wrap the code went away. I also changed the secondary 02 sensor a few weeks after that and no problems ever since. Except evap but it was a cracked hose at the purge valve in the engine bay. Fixed that and no check engine for maybe over half a year now.
For eBay headers not bad tbh good shit don’t let others diss your build fuck the haters I own a 08 legacy rebuilt engine and no one could believe me but not I’m gapping supercharged cars and I’m only 18 keep the work up no matter the build sounds amazing
Thank you for the very instructive video. 👍
Great vid, helps a ton.
Hey was just wondering if the engine was clearable or did it come back and did you notice the power loss at all?
Not sure what you mean by cleanable, but for power loss I didn't notice anything, I have a 2000 outback its already slow and heavy.
How does it sound with the stock muffler while accelerating? Can you tell a difference
No, that's why I ended up removing the muffler
@@Cepyy916 ahh okay, ive been wanting to get uel headers for my 98 and have been wondering! Thank you for the quick reply!
Did you ever end up wrapping the new headers with exhaust wrap or did the heat ever even effect anything
I did wrap them, then my power steering line on the rack cracked and soaked the wrap with power steering fluid and caught on fire, it's highly discouraged to wrap subaru headers for that reason
@@Cepyy916 ok thank you!
Did you re-wrap the headers? Or leave them bare?
Good install video.
Have you have issues with the welds or tubing cracking?
When I got mine I did have a pin hole in one of the welds, I ended up welding the pin hole, but ever since then I haven't had any issues.
excelente video, donde compraste el kit de header??
I've been having trouble finding what's compatible with what on my 2002 legacy GT. I know Subarus known to be interchangeable so hopefully these would fit.
any luck? i have an 02 ob sedan
@@J0ECOX I ended up now having a 2002 impreza rs I got a full header back exhaust. It's just the 2.5l and I got a set of no name uel headers that sound amazing. All these na Subarus got the same shit for 2002. So I would think they'd fit on the legacy too
Around how much did you pay for the whole set up I’m trying to do this to my 01 legacy gt
I think I paid $100 for the headers and $32 for the glass pack exhaust and another like $20 for the black exhaust tip. I did all the welding myself
@@Cepyy916 what headers are those and how they holding up any sign of heating up
@@bruinsfan8593 I have a link in the description of what headers I used, they lasted a long time and I didn't have any issues, the pipes did get that cool blue heat tint but no warping and no cracks ever formed for me.
@@Cepyy916 how long did they last
@@bruinsfan8593 I had mine on for 2 1/2 to 3 years before I reverted everything back to stock and put the car aside as a backup car.
Sounds pretty good, but buying a Borla, with CNT uel headers is definitely worth the money. Just sayin’.
Eh, if it was turbocharged then I would spend the extra money, but I just wanted the cool subaru sound while I cruise to work and back. Thanks for sharing I'm sure someone should find it helpful! You should upload of video of how it sounds and share the link here!
Serg-MediaHD I probably will eventually. It’s not a wrx or sti. Just a cross trek. Lol. Nothing too special.
Nice job. Have you issues with the heat to the oil filter or oil pan?
Sorry for the late reply, no I did not have any issues with heat surprisingly but I'm sure it helps in the winter warms up the oil faster
Great uel headers tho..
@@nickolas4713 idk why you say that, I'm still running mine and I've never had a problem this whole time
Fukk the hateuhs man
@@pinealrelaxation1524 i saw the comment and realized it was me idk i was either high or got hacked
Did you ever get the engine code to go away? I have a 2001 rs that still needs emissions done and I am worried I won't be able to pass. Thanks!
@@raiderznation well based on where you are located you won't pass visual inspection if you have those headers on, you'll have to install the stock header. Also p0420 can mean your cats are potentially bad, they sell a rear 02 sensor spacer that gets rid of the check engine light but you'll have to remove the spacer across the street from the test shop before getting it done or it'll fail visually. Or go the expensive route and get the cats replaced. Good luck! 👍
@@Cepyy916 Luckily they don't do visual inspections here so I may try and use a spacer. Thanks for the quick response.
When did you figure out to install headers first not attached to exhaust and slide flanges on equally. I cringed for those studs watching that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love the foam pad 😍
It made no difference, I've tried both ways. What I should have done was widen the holes before installing it because it wasn't fitting properly, the 3 holes on that side weren't drilled equally to the studs. Also thanks! The foam pad made it comfy! 👌
Hey I was wondering when u put the cherry bomb on did u cut your muffler off? And also did u weld it in or clamped it on?
Yes I ended up cutting the muffler off and then welding on the cherry bomb.
Serg-MediaHD thanks for responding 👍🏽
do you still have the resonator located after the cats in the straight section before the muffler or did you delete that as well?
I keep coming back to your video lol. May I ask what is the red paste at the headers union with the bottom of the motor? How’s it performing so far? Any exhaust leaks/broken welds?
The red paste is just high temp rtv, and so far so good! No holes no broken welds, no exhaust leaks. The only thing you need to keep is your old headers for smog purposes. In California atleast
Serg-MediaHD Cool thanks again
I finally got an UEL for my ‘01 Forester L man. Will post a video once I have it all set. Hopefully I can get mine to sound similar to yours. I may have to deal with sone fitment issues since I have an oil cooler on mine. We’ll see..
Once you installed the headers did you got the Check engine light on? If so how did you eliminate that check engine light permanently?
I did get a check engine but I think it was because my front 02 sesor wasn't reading accurately. I replaced both o2 sensors and didn't have anymore problems.
@@Cepyy916 for sure cause my gf has a forester and was planning getting headers for it but was wondering if the O2 would go bad or put like a an adapter on the O2 to bypass the Check engine light
These are 2.5 headers correct? My outback is ej20 sohc JDM swapped and I was wondering if these would bolt right up or not. I heard from a few sources that it might work. Thanks
Jason Dabestani my 2006 outback has the catalytic converter in the headers. So this would not work for me, I think it’s the same for your Impreza.
I didnt specify before, but this is a legacy outback. With a 2006 Impreza ej20 with custom catalytic converters.
Idk if you’ll see this but how tight were the headers to the oil filter
It didn't affect oil temps, and my 2014 subaru impreza wrx headers come that close to the oil filter factory
Looks and sounds great! Not bad at all for only $94. I wonder if the header would fit my 2.5 '01 Forester L?
I'm pretty sure it'll fit, the outback and forester have the same stock y-pipe headers. It should be a direct bolt on!
@@Cepyy916 Cool, thanks!
Just did it to my 02 forester and burnt a hole through my oil cooler lone leaving me stranded on the side of the road, make sure all lines are away from the header.
DGK Parasite Oh man, sorry to hear. Hope all you lost was just oil and nothing else broke inside the engine
After some research, I may not be able to install these headers since they won’t fit due to my engine having an oil cooler :( really sucks because I was really looking forward to having that famous boxer sound on my car.. I guess the only way would be to take it to a muffler shop(someone really skilled at welding) see if they could modify the uel header to clear the oil cooler/lines..
will these headers fit my 08 outback? it should be the same engine (ej25) so I don't see why they wouldnt fit
The best way to figure it out is to google stock 08 outback headers and compare them to stock headers that come on a 2000 outback. Good luck on your search!
Was this a very difficult swap? Considering doing the same with my 01 outback.
It's one of the easiest swaps because the exhust/ headers is under and all the bolts are accessible without any issues
@@Cepyy916 perfect. Thanks very much for the fast reply. I’ll comment again if I get around to it in the future.
I think mine cracked but I can’t find the leak I got a system too lean code and p0137 02 circuit low voltage and p2096 post catalyst fuel trim too lean. Any ideas? There’s a small small leak at both flanges that connect to the block and another small one where it connects to the high flow cat could that be the issue??
I'd probably start with sealing up the exhaust leaks, then listening for any leaks or you can use soapy water to see if there are any cracks, clear the codes drive it, if codes come back my next step is checking to make sure the upstream 02 sensor is good and if not replace, if that all fails and the o2 sensor is good, I'd try the stock headers and see if that fixes the issue. Let me know how it goes!
@@Cepyy916 would that red rtv seal the leaks at the block ?
@@Cepyy916 I also forgot to mention I bought new gaskets for the headers once and the light when away for like 2 days and then came and went away and then it stayed since
@@juanaguinaga5733 you can try the red rtv stuff, unless it's really warped then it might not work. Seems like those codes are because of the leaks.
@@Cepyy916 alright I’ll try that out
Would this fit my 2.2 impreza?
any suabru wizards know if these will bolt to 2009 leggy sohc pev (ej253 i think)...engine side
Hey bro. I have eBay uel headers for an Impreza rs on my 05' Legacy 2.5i wagon. They weren't perfect, needed to really bend it to get it in place.
Think ittle work on a 2010 impreza hatch
Not this specific header, you should be able to find one that fits your specific model/ year
Hello! Any changes in acceleration dinamics after install this?
Nope, feels just as slow as before. Just sounds cool now I guess.
@@Cepyy916 its sad! I use ej253 in my impreza gg, but i have manual transmission whith 4.44 gear ratio. Its ride 8 seconds 0-100
Would these fit in a 3rd gen legacy with the ej201 engine?
Go to inferno fabrications they sell a lot of em
How is it holding up? I just installed this last night and had to remove the front swaybar since it was pressed against the header
I've had mine for over a year, and it's still good. I never had any issues besides a pin hole in the welds caused an exhaust leak but I welded it closed. I installed it on my 2000 outback the sway bar didnt give me any issues
@@Cepyy916 awesome. I may have just gotten a wonky one or something. Oh well, it feels better without the sway bar honestly
@@Cepyy916 did that cause a system too lean code??
@@juanaguinaga5733 the only code I got was p0420 which is cat not efficient, replaced the rear 02 sensor and code hasn't returned since, never had a too lean code since I've had the headers.
Would this header bolt onto my 99' forester L?
Sorry for the late response, it should work, I installed it on an 2000 outback so if your stock headers are the same as mine it should work!
@@Cepyy916 any issues with the header and the oil filter? It is highly recommended to wrap the headers right?
@@jimrossabrena7955 I did end up wrapping the headers to keep the heat away from the oil filter, but while I was off roading one of my power steering lines got loose and dripped power steering fluid on the wrapped exhust and caught on fire, had to use coolant to put the fire out. So be careful with the wrap.
hey how much louder did the cherrybomb make your car i want loud but not make my neighbors want to shoot me
Hmmm, my neighbors are pretty cool so idk, I used my phone and from 5 ft it was reading a max of 88 decibels when revving soooo, legal in california technically.
@@Cepyy916 so from a scale from 1 to 10 and 10 be loudest what would you rate it
@@Zataxx I'd give it a good at most a 4 on cold starts, it's pretty quiet due to the nature of the rumble. It's a deep tone and the sound doesn't echo as much.
Did you need to tune
Hey, this is revit up,
may I featured your videos in my new compilation?
Watermarked and linked to your channel of course.
thank you!!
Sure go for it.
Is the 97 Subaru Impreza outback header just as easy to access?
Yea, I'm pretty sure it's identical
@@Cepyy916 thank you very much
2.5i
Were did you get the headers?
I ordered them from speedyracer.com, the link for the headers is in the description
Ok thanks been searching for ever for some headers for the 2.2l
@@kaishoo7200 no problem, I've had mine on for 4 months now and they are awesome
@@Cepyy916 sick I'm goin to order them thanks
Definitely sounds better if you delete your muffler..
I’ve been told I need to run a high flow cat? I have 07 na Hawkeye
Uh, I mean if you want more horsepower you can run a high flow cat, you don't need too, the less resistance in the exhaust system the better. I've been running the same stock cats for a year+ now with the headers and no complaints from me.
Serg-MediaHD okay thanks for the response I drink a 2.5i Na so it’s only 170 HP, how much do you think the UEL and high flow would ad? Cause I’m considering maybe doing the cheap route and just buying a new catalytic converter. The headers I’m looking at are $150 off ebay
@@rGrizz well if you want to gain horsepower, UEL headers actually rob horsepower but give you that classic Subaru rumble, with even length its easier for the exhaust gases to escape, and with a highflow cat you'll see minimal hp increase and maybe better throttle response. I'd say save the money and put it into handling of the car, suspension, better sway bar, coils or lowering springs drop the car a couple inches to make it less top heavy for better cornering, good rims and tires for more grip around the corners.
NA motors loose Hp with 0 restriction. A bit more flowing than stock can add very little hp but not much. Turbo engines are really the only ones that benefit to 0 restriction exhausts.
No need to get a sports cat, all it dose is adds a little power, and a little more noise... did my 06 hawk with uel and fitted a standerd 2005 cat. All i wanted was the burble. Got a bit extra mid range power though.
What if my bolts car kinda rusted?
Then do it at your own risk. You don't want to brake any studs at the engine, then it'll leak exhust and that's a big no no. But if the bolt brakes at the cat, just go to the hardware store and buy a new bolt and nut
@@Cepyy916 cause I order some and I looked at it and where the headers connect those bolts are rusted and idk if I should risk it
@@zacharyharry9997 well buy some pb blaster and over the next week wake up spray the bolts go to work, come home spray the bolts and by the end of the week hopefully the bolts have soaked long enough to come off without a problem, hopefully of course
@@Cepyy916 I have a photo of the bolt idk if you wanted to look at it or if they come off the right way
@@zacharyharry9997 sent the pictures to my email yushkovse@gmail.com
What sized cherry bomb are you running on this??
2.5 inch i think, although its the wrong size for my stock exhaust so I had to get a adapter to make it fit lol that was a terrible time but the end result was worth it tbh
What you use for seal the headers?
You talking about the red rtv silicone stuff? If so its the Permatex High-Temp Red RTV Silicone Gasket Maker
Ok Thanks
N/a
cheapie headers, open up the holes and using a bare jack on metal tubes.. you're asking for problems. both flanges should slide in and loosely test fitting both sides at the same time. wd40, displaces water and is a terrible penetrating fluid. it's nice to see anyone still turning wrenches but a lot to learn here. back in the day, we didn't need to rtv on top of exhaust gaskets. just get a quality soft metal gasket and you're gtg and for god sake, use a torque wrench on everything
The WD-40 was just for visual, im in california so no rust for me, and the headers were only 97 dollars I wasn't gonna put anymore effort making them fit nice, also I didn't purchase new gaskets so I had to use the include ones and they are garbage so that's the point of the red rtv. And yes of course always use a torque wrench. I agree with that.
Please tell me where I can get a UEL header for my 2000 forester 2.5 liter, I’ve been looking on eBay, Amazon, carid and I can’t find ANYTHING. I bought the forester JUST for the rumble and I’m about to sell it just for this reason. I’ll fu**ing cash app you money if you can help me out
What's your budget? And do your stock headers look like my stock headers? If so 1320 sells uel headers that'll fit but is a bit pricey. Says it'll fit EJ251 on a Baja which is pretty identical to my Outback and your Forester

@@Cepyy916 dam there about 340 after delivery…. You weren’t kidding
@@cliftonsargent1572 yea, but the Baja is identical to my outback and most likely your forester. The main difference would be how they routed the exhust after the cat which wouldn't matter because you are changing the headers before the cat. So it should fit. I'll look some more tho see if I can find cheaper ones.
@@Cepyy916 I can’t thank you enough
what process did you do and what did you need
What do you mean? I need more details to point you in the right direction
Serg-MediaHD Well, I would like to make my subaru what parts do you need and where did you buy them?
@@adonishernandez6131 If you look in the description of the video you'll find a link to everything I used, headers, muffler, and exhaust tip I used.

lmao i hope you got it tuned for those headers otherwise your going to be getting a lot of unnecessary knock
Eh, I've run them for over a year now and I've monitored everything was normal, I don't see how it would cause knock tbh, let me know tho, im curious
*gets wd40 in eyes*
What do you mean? I had my saftey squints on
NEVER wear safetyglasses. Your eyes are NOT important !
Would the UEL headers fit a 2002 forester N/A
That's a good question, if your stock headers look exactly like mine then I'm pretty sure it'll fit, also look on the website that you decided to buy the uel headers from and see if your vehicle is listed on the compatible list, or you can always contact them and see what they say!
Serg-MediaHD what kind of oil filter do you have on .. ..
@@Da818-SP At the time of making the video I had a genaric wix xp oil filter, I now use oem Subaru oil filters for my car tho. They are about the same price as a generic oil filter so why not just use oem stuff
Serg-MediaHD thanks for this video and the link to get the headers, I just got mine and I also had the same issue as you..
I was wondering did you straight pipe it from the cat back . Like did you Delete the resonator.. .. thanks for the reply’s btw
@@Da818-SP My exhaust setup is, I have the uel headers that go to the stock cats, after the cats i still have my stock resonator after that it goes to an aftermarket muffler and exhaust tip. I did replace the muffler with a cherrybomb muffler and a generic black tip on the end. I had to do all the welding for the muffler and exhaust tip.
Thanks for the nice comment by the way!
Did u have to tune
Nope, but a tune would have definitely improved the torque curve
@@Cepyy916 alright, but I’m strictly going for noise. Would u reckon that it would be safe with out a tube
It'll be fine, I ran mine for over a year maybe even 2 can't remember, but I still have the car and it doesn't feel any worse and I don't have any issues!
