@@uneven_haircut1861 you can do an Etune with many professional tuners and be perfectly fine. There is no OTS tunes for these so you do need to either do the Etune or get a pro tune
I wonder about the reliability of this mod. Could you please mention how many miles you have run this set without performance issues? Did you feel any loss in power? - thank you for sharing!
I work with a tuning shop located in Pittsburgh, we had one come in for a FMIC instal and tune with these headers on. Car was FBO on E60 and made 350whp compared to mine that was FBO minus header and had a TMIC that made 370whp on E50. Same Dyno same tuner. A car with a FMIC should have made 10-15whp more than my 370whp.
Hey, I might get a response but did you get the wing after the fact or did you do a trunk swap? I been looking into and dont want to delete my lip on my wrx since there will be the issue of the 4 holes or maybe just order a new trunk + wing.
Wing is an amazon aftermarket unpainted. We painted it with color matched spray cans from a good paint supply store. Total you'll need to sand it, primer it, about 3-4 cans of color, 1 can of the midcoat (the pearl) , and 3 cans of an activated clear coat. At least. As for the 4 holes we ordered I believe 5/16th metal plugs, painted those suckers too and clear silicone them in place. Good luck! And yes careful drilling was involved.
Q. Ia it possible to install the wrap on the headers when its on already? And also turbo blanket without removing turbo?. 10 more weeks to go before i received my headers.
Definitely possible, but now quite a bit harder. You'll be wrapping them on your back now and it's not the easiest thing to really do. The headers include a roll of the titanium header wrap you saw in the video.
I can't recall from the top of my head now. But there's like 2 on the passenger side you can't even reach with a torque wrench I ended up doing those by feel with an combo wrench
it looks almost possible to remove the manifold without taking the turbo completely out lol no the oil pan and the heat shield..... Still doesnt look like that much work.. great mod
More revs or driving! Take that weird music out too It covers up the sweet rumbles
I commend you good sir. Looks like it was a lot of work but well worth it! Awesome job.
Thank you! It's a bit of a task, but not too bad if you're well inclined with mechanical work.
Were you able to fit the stock skid plate after installing the headers?
ayooo, you NEED a tune bro!
Not really
@@lecoureurdesbois86 do you or not?
@@patrickpapania4891 you definitely do
@@iancamillo5820 Noob question. What tune do you need to run these?

I know this is old but I have a leak after 3 years. I can't remember how I got the front passenger flange bolt in. Did you use a wrench?
Isn’t a uel bad on the WRX ? Thought it hurts the twin scroll turbo
People say a lot of things in the internet. Multiple people have been using these UEL and had no power or reponse losses as most people claim

Than there is us the WRX STI guys. Throwing out the UEL for the Killer B ELH.
did u do a tune? I'm thinking of getting these headers on my 2017 WRX. How's it running? It Sounds dope!
Awesome bro! Was curious did you to tune it?
Just curious, is this swap just for the sound? Just wondering what the upside is.
Damn is there not a way to swap headers without doing all that extra work
I don't have an access port yet you have to tune it don't you? I've heard anything from the axel up you have to get the car tuned.
Is there an update on how this turned out now?
Was your car tuned prior to putting on the Tomei UEL was wondering why it didn't get a CEL
Did your skid plate fit back on
Are you able to re install that thick metal that cover the lower part of the header to the ground?
No sir, that is part of the factory heat shield and will not fit. The headers come with titanium wrap for this reason
how many pounds of torque for the headers, thank you bro.
Did u require a tune with the header
What made you go with headers with stock downpipe
What sound if it goes w stock muffler?

Definitely gonna get mine soon
How long would you say it took you to install the headers?
hows the car performing now and how was tuning ?
Would these work for the manual ?

Take a drink every time he says "Umm..."
what if someone made a unequal length exhaust manifold for a Porsche boxer engine or a honda inline 4, would it make a similar rumble?
1320 makes a header for the b series engines for honda.
Needs road test + flybys.
I forgot to put the heat pan on the headers.. do I need to put it on??
How long did it take to receive them?
About a week ago. I got them from oakos automotive
About 1 week from oakoas automotive
How is it running now with the headers? Any issues?
None at all. This car is staying stage 1 however., no aftermarket jpipe is planned to be done to it.
Im gonna get mine installed when I get on a dyno
I heard uel headers on the new wrx will hurt the turbo because it's twin scroll. Any problems there?
You don’t have any problem with the stock j pipe I want install this headers with the stock j pipe.
None at all.
Ok I’m in stage 1. And what tuner did you recommend me for this mod or what mods did you make before tune your subie?
Can you swap the cvt with a sti manual
Yes
I can’t find any thing on how to do it or what needed to do it.
Good job
Sick, can you do a driving vid with S#
I have a pure sound video up with it on. In the beginning it's shifting itself then soon after it's all being paddle shifted in S#
How much does something like this cost
Headers are around 750 and a simple muffler delete setup around 280-400 usd
Did you get a tune to be able to drive this around ?
Nice 👍 🙂.
What torque you applied to the bolts?
I can't recall from the top of my head now. But there's like 2 on the passenger side you can't even reach with a torque wrench I ended up doing those by feel with an combo wrench
This is gonna mess up the twin scroll turbo in the FA20 engine over time bro.
That gives him an excuse to get a bigger turbo then!! 😂😂
it looks almost possible to remove the manifold without taking the turbo completely out lol no the oil pan and the heat shield..... Still doesnt look like that much work.. great mod
