Pretty sure the oil cooling design on Subarus make timers unnecessary unless you're planning on breaking lap records on your way to work.

+1 headers can Change volume. I was running empire headers for a short period of time and the exhaust was louder.
+1 you do not need a turbo timer

Factor in a couple of hours labour to install group n engine/trans mounts on a hoist. Cunt of a job without a hoist.

Those mounts do make a difference over the stockers, I also have the Whiteline positive shift bushes which compound the effect.

Shift action is firmer and more direct and the car feels more solid when giving it herbs at the track, the effect is not so noticeable on the street for obvious reasons.

And if you're worried about the car being too loud with headers (it won't be), just get a cheap little hotdog muffler put into your mid-section pipe. Gains > noise.

I've got EL headers, up pipe and X force tbe....It's only really loud during cold starts and wot. Normal driving either around town or on the highway its hardly noticable...Though that could be due to the tonne of dynamat in my car ???

Mine is the same Shaunus. First 30 seconds of startup my car is loud. Driving around... not loud.

Yep the Grimspeed ones won't fit on our cars without cutting a large portion of the shield, I found out the hard way when selling Grimmspeed stuff before.

If you really want one just get a Cusco one.

Grab some from Kando on eBay, much cheaper usually.
