Here is our new stock location header/UP!
The header itself is a quality piece, but it is made overseas just like all the other popular headers on the market today. Its a proven equal length design and is full stainless steel. The UP is a piece we make in house to fit this and any other 3-bolt flanged header. Our UP and Header features our unique leak free double slip joints for easy installation and thermal expansion.
The UP also features a unique tapered design to create a more laminar flow and aid in turbo spool/response. The UP starts with a relatively large 2 3/8" pipe at the 3-bolt flange to match the size of th outlet of the header collector. It then uses a smooth transition to taper down to 2" to match the inlet size of most larger stock location turbine housings.
We will also be making several different versions of this UP. One version will be specifically for stock VF series turbos and will have a second taper down to 1.75" to match the inlet size of the stock turbine housing. Another version will be available with provisions for an EWG. These options will actually be modular and interchangeable at the slip joint. So instead of having to buy a completely different UP if switching turbos or EWG/IWG, you can just buy the top half of the pipe.
As with most EL headers, you can expect a good 10-15whp and 20-30ft-lbs gains on a healthy stage 2 setup. Our unique UP design will also eliminate most of the lag people usually associate with aftermarket headers.
We're still working on final pricing on this, but it should be in the $700-$800 range.
Thanks

Ed,
They look great man! Keep up with the top-notch work.
How do these headers compare to the Perrin EL headers (minus the double slip joints)? I won't be modding my Yellow Rex anymore...going to pick up an 06-07 STi in a year or two. =P
I hope you're doing well. Take it easy.

The Perrin headers run a slightly smaller runner diameter and do not have an incorporated UP. This means that you're stuck with the 2-bolt UP flange that tends to develop leaks. The Perrin also uses standard slip joints which leak like crazy on cold start and continue to leak slightly when fully warmed up.
Thanks

This is a very nice bugeye with a complete JDM V8 swap that we re-tuned yesterday on E85. Its currently on the stock twin scroll turbo with basic bolt-ons. The most impressive part about the E85 tune was the torque it picked up compared to the 91 tune! The car really woke up and SCREAMS up to 8k RPM 
Here's the info and chart:
Full JDM V8 Swap (EJ207, Twin Scroll)
Catless Downpipe
Greddy SP-2 Catback
Custom Short Ram Intake
Hallman MBC
DW1000cc Injectors
Walbro Fuel Pump
EQ Custom Tune
Thanks
