Alex,

Is there any reason that you have a single tube for each exhaust port that merge to 1 for one side (the side the turbo is not on) and not for the other side?

Header for Subaru Turbo in Beetle

Hi,

we made the tests on the new header now and here are some details of it.

Power plus of 14 kW
torque plus of 30 Nm

weight minus 8 kg (original header is 13 kg, ours is 5.2 kg). Boxer sound is still the same.

On my car (1303 with Subaru 2.2) we had a 4 in 1 installed. Due to this the typical sound of a Boxer was lost. Revving higher than 4.000 the engine starts to sound like a 4 in line engine. Although this header gives good power too we now decided that we want a header that does not change the typical sound.

Randy,

sorry no "backwards one" planned. We are glad that we finally have this one.

Backwards would require two four to six inch tubes welded in line where you weld the ball swivel and where the short side to the up pipe is welded. Easy to just add I would think while welding it all up.
Or you could just sell me one with two short pieces of the pipe you are using and out comes my bandsaw and TIG.
Let's talk about cost now...
Thanks,
Randy
