[B4 2000]

im looking to buy an equal length headers off trade me and this is the only one available now

will they be better than the factory unequal length??; i know i won't have the suby rumble by using equal length but i want them for a better exhaust flow.

thanks

They are Factory equal length with the heat shielding removed. With the up pipe being the only modification.

Have you done a Single turbo conversion? If not then they will be of no use to you.

If you have, then for $250 I'd being saving up for one of the many various Equal length offerings available.

those aren't v7 headers as they are listed. they look more like v8 twin scroll items (and if they are would be a good buy imo).

That up pipe is modified tho and fairly useless for a factory position turbo

[Guest boostin]

Yup, V8 twin scroll headers. You'll need a new sump, oil cooler, and pipe from the oil cooler to the waterpump too.

and are fricken good headers for that money. you imght get a steal with them listed at v7 like that

[Guest boostin]

I would get them but they're in the wrong island. I have a sump here waiting for a set of those headers....

Ok sweet, I'll be getting the headers without the uppipe and with a modified sump for $250.

The guy is a mechanic and he listed it as a V7 because he took it out from one.

[Guest boostin]

So what are you going to do about an up-pipe then?

Do you have a factory oil cooler on your engine? If so, you need to get a twin scroll cooler, pipe etc as the headers foul on the earlier type coolers.

so all these would need to be done to fit them to a version 7?

[Guest boostin]

Yup. If it doesn't have an oil cooler, then all you need is a sump.

Will be using a different up-pipe, and yes have a factory oil cooler (V4 STi). So you think I'll have to change oil cooler an pipe?? ???

[Guest boostin]

Yup, you won't get the headers on if you don't.

Just out of interest, what up-pipe will you use? I've been looking for a twin scroll to single up-pipe for ages.

[B4 2000]

D'oh, if it's a twin scroll then i can't use it, i had the impression that it's a single scroll (V7).

and the oil cooler is of an 08 model STi

[Guest boostin]

Nope, those are definitely twin scroll headers, with a twin to single scroll up-pipe.

That oil cooler will work as long as it's from a 2L. The 2.5's run the old style headers, like you have now.

[Guest boostcut]

if your handy with a gas set and have some time, you could make an up pipe to suit what you have now.

[funkytown]

still worth picking up the headers and sorting something out twin to single scroll eh.

[Guest boostcut]

yeah, sorry funky. i was referring to him having the twin scroll headders as then, he could swap out single scroll turbo for something larger.

[BC5RA]

I can't see a deal in this..

$250 for a setup that unless he is handy with a set, he will have to pay to have it made to suit. Not including the sump etc.

When for another $250 he could easily have his pick of 2nd hand aftermarket EL headers.

could bolt on a nice twin scroll turbo, or get a custom uppipe built to suit a singe scroll turbo. I just i just rate the factory v8 headers as top shelf and you can hardly find them anyway.

V8 would be the best of the factory offerings. But only worth it if you had a half cut or all of the conversion parts.

[B4 2000]

It'll be good for 250bux but I will also have to pay someone to make it to my liking which will add more $$$ so instead I'll just keep an eye on TM incase something come up.

Do you have a single turbo conversion performed on your RSK?
