custom header made of stock parts
I build my own header with parts of the stock header and catalytic converter of the Subaru EJ 22.
To gain ground clearance I cut the flanges like shown here.

The mounted header before it was all finished. I am testing with 2 different mufflers, thats why there are two seen here.
I am keen to see how much power output I am going to have with it. I will get it on a dyno, but not before the end of april. It is winter here in
Germany with lots of snow this year
and 3 days ago we had minus 17 degrees celsius. I have bought the stock header of an Impreza WRX STI, that will be testet too on the dyno, but without
a cat. I keep you posted.

It was to big again. I spotwelded it and went to a professional welder to get it done. I went to the welder and my car six times to get it bit by bit
and a perfect fit.

Hi lugnuts, you are right the exhaust tips are put into the cutouts to have it look stock. I made a little brace for the tips, but I have no picture
of it. Got to take one.

Found this picture of the early days. No pan, no engine but fake exhaust tips. You see, I always wanted to do it. If you can' t make it, fake it.

Tidy..very tidy indeed.
How is the power and torque....has that cat actually got internals? Highly illegal here(removeing internals), although they block up and just restrict
you motor after a while.

Hi Matt,
wasn't able to get on the dyno again with the new clutch.
The cat is the stock Subaru unit. I'd like to see pics of your exhaust.

Hi Steve,
thanks I hope it will work as good as it looks. Will hit the dyno again in two weeks and the Autobahn for topspeed testing, too.

Hi lugnuts,
I won't forget it. Now that I had a chance to ride, I know what I want to change over the winter. One thing is the exhaust, I will probably build a
complete new one without the catalytic converter and the fake exhaust tips. I tried the smaller muffler, but it was to loud. Have another muffler that
I want to try with this header, with that one I could install the fake exhaust tips.

Hi Warren,
the muffler is hanging in those rubber things, I dont know how you call them ( in English). You can see one at the exhaust tip of the larger muffler
above. And mounted to the car.

It rusts out your exhausts alot quicker as it traps moisture. Also turns stainless brittle like glass.
