My custom header v1

I finally found the time to make my UEL header. Here are a couple videos.

Any pictures?

 

I dont have any yet, i will try to take some tomorrow.

 

Did you use those collectors you got from me, way back when?

It sounds really good. The EJ18 does sound really good with a decent exhaust setup on it. My buddy Chris has a EJ18 w/ a 2.5" catback and it sounds awesome, many people at firestone were impressed. Some thought it was the best sounding motor!

 

haha yea i finally got around to using them. Right now i have my headers, stock cat and custom mid-pipe with 16in resonator, no axle back. My car threw a p0420 cat code so im planning on making a test pipe or finally turbo it. Whichever one comes first.

 

sweet! I cant wait to see the pics. I want to see how similar your headers are to mine.

 

What exhaust are you running?

NM me<reading

 

Sounds good

 

nothin like unequal length headers on an na subaru

 

Here are some pictures, un-finished and complete.

wow, not bad at all for a home brewed header setup

 

thanks, it does the job. i am surprised how well it turned out.

 

good job... changing oil will be fun...

 

haha that picture is at a weird angle but the oil will miss the header, that was my first thought when designing it.

 

how about the oil filter oil that drips?

 

sorry, thats what i ment, the oil from the filter wont hit the header.

 

nice, ive always wanted to make a custom uel header for mine....might just look around for a stock mani and fab one up....

 

Nice work. I very well may be building something like this this summer. Sounds nice!

 

holy welds batman!

 

those welds are spectacular.

 

those who cant criticize
those who can do it themselves no matter how ugly


lets see what you guys actually do for YOURSELVES on YOUR OWN












and ps... I thought exactly the same thing, but saw that he also cleaned them up before painting...
