I ran the old school v1 xforce headers with the wagon and they flowed fine @ 2bar. (the welds weren't so happy however

) We are still talking small capacity engines here. Without back to back real time results its all heresay. Sure if you're chasing the pentultimate horsepower result port matching and flowtesting is king, but the word 'budget' falls by the wayside fairly quickly.

Equal length sounds better btw

Equal length = WRC sounds

they are on the car newb. but you can see the size of the up-pipe on the left compared to the inlet of the turbo on the right. sifnificantly bigger than stock

i jsut did a quick measurement in paint..

there around 33IDA for stock and 36mmIDA for tommei..

but get a pic of the header newb could be different..

it most definately is different, its equal length

twice as many pipes

Speak to Pat at Mettams(Morley) about ways to get the noise down as there are a few other things you can do that hopefully won't reduce the flow as much! (my old WRX was stupidly loud after getting some new bits from ASG and they managed to quieten it down somewhat without taking away from the flow too much!)

Good stuff with the headers/turbo! Sean and Nic are definitely the ones to get advice from, so I'm sure you will be on your way soon!

I'll see how it goes for a few days, Pat said it may quieten up a bit one the mufflers bed in and carbon up a bit.

Hardly ever, the car only has 33,000kms on it and the engine around 8000kms.

Damo has the un-equal length

Doesn't sound too bad actually. Nice video, and nice driving too

I'm a big fan of portmatching, polishing, flowtesting etc - did it to everything (throttle body, intake manifold, exhaust, intake, intercooler, turbo) on my white wrx and combined made a significant difference. But unless I pay someone to do it to the black one it won't happen as I'm not meant to be working on it myself

Twice as many pipes or twice as long?
