Good luck on Getting any off this stuff past CARB.

Header
The up-pipe should remain detachable for two reasons:
1) To allow for easier installation.
2) To allow the header to be retained if/when you decide to go to any crazy turbo set up.
The header should be equal length or very very close to it.

Exhaust
I'd really like to see an exhaust just like the Vishnu signature series exhaust, without their price tag. All SS, Twin dump, catless option, no diameter changes, the connectors. I love everything about that exhaust except the canister. An XR1 in it's place would rock.

how about an equal length header that will utilize the twin scroll turbos with out modifiying the crossmember etc.? This might not be the best choice for gains, but just an idea.

That would not be advantageous. The whole point of the twin scroll turbo is to reduce spool time. Without the propper header set-up, it would be pointless. It may even lag more than a standard type turbo. I couldn't say though.

How is Rennick talking about getting the first shipment next week when David Borla is sounding like they are in a preliminary planning stage? I was liking the sound of Rennick's $385 header but this post makes me leary.

I did think that was odd. I didn't really love that header either. Kinda disappointed in the collector. I'd also like a closer look at the workmanship.

Sorry for the confusion. I started this thread when I got our dyno results for the WRX header. I needed to know if the part was worthy of release or not. You guys were a great help and I think that you'll be very satisfied with this product. Also, if you compare prices you'll see that it's a steal at this price.

Did Rennick post any HP gains?

Our WRX header is hand made in California of mandrel bent T-304 stainless steel. It is comes with a million mile no hassle warranty. It is not polished. No bling bling, just power. Click the link below for some prices of other headers.

Dyno Action

Let's see some dyno numbers and graphs! I think that will really help us WRX owners to see what you guys have been up to. I would like to see some pictures when you get the chance too.

Is your header/uppipe/downpipe combo being built to be compatible with your current WRX catback exhaust??

David,

Did the car on the dyno spool up any slower with this manifold? On the GT Spec they reported 400 rpms slower on some cars.

Renick Subaru did the dyno test. I'll see if I can get them to answer your question.

Polishing is stupid

Stupid rice boys like polished every thing give me a ceramic coating any day and try to keep the heat in the pipes not in the engine bay
Ok Ill admit polish looks good if you put headers on the market pleas make sure that they clear the frame equal lengths is always good too
