Who's using what?
I'm finding a TON of options on eBay that range from $125-$800. I have no clue what the real difference is though. Equal Length Headers or Unequal Length Headers? Am I looking for a new oil pan too, or will the stock (2003) work? Differences in the Turbo Pipe? I want to buy now...just don't want to get the wrong thing and regret it later when it doesn't fit with what I'm doing. I realize that I'll be hunting for an exhaust too, and that it'll likely need to be a custom built pipe, but the rest of the stuff seems to be pretty important. |

Having come from the Subaru tuner world, there is very little benefit to headers on an EJ20, unless you are running a much larger aftermarket turbo. Up-pipe, free flowing post turbo and TGV deletes along with tune will give you the most bang for $.
Pretty much all headers will warp and crack eventually. Grimmspeed offers stock manifold porting and coating here: http://www.grimmspeed.com/catalog/product_...;products_id=99 TGV delete too: http://www.grimmspeed.com/catalog/product_...;products_id=35 Port & Polish turbo too: http://www.grimmspeed.com/catalog/product_...;products_id=42 Save that money for some dyno time would be my suggestion. Good luck! |
