Tech Tip - Installing 06 STI Header : Rocksliderally.com

[SpeedingSideway]

u left out that the gaskets are directional, (round edge, sharp edge "at least the OEM ones are!)

a little anti-seize on the studs on the heads will make the sliding of the header on so much smoother,

too much anti-seize on the a/f sensor, it may affect the reading.

Otherwise Well Done on the write up video!!

[KillerZero259]

is there a reason why the engine is being slightly hoisted by the oil pan?

[rally411tv]

@KillerZero259 yes, as long as your not pushing it up really high its fine. ALL i mean ALL professionals do that. Paul has been working on Subarus for a very long time. The reason you hear not to lift by the oil pan is most backyard mechanics do it too far and dent the pan.

[alabaska182]

@rally411tv Do you have to lift up the engine?? I was going to install a new gasket for my uppipe > header gasket (as well as removing my headers, and replacing the ones for the engine) Thanks!

[JBrown1017]

Hey lol can you install headers onto a ej18 that are for an ej20 engine??? jw.

[ElPatronRod23]

so you secure that side with one nut, huh? sounds pretty hard when the car is that high up! lol

[chrism6]

Theres no heat wrap on the headers, and the dump pipe you installed did not have a splitter for the turbo. EPIC FAIL.

[rally411tv]

@chrism6 sir that is a stupid comment.

[chrism6]

@rally411tv

How is that a stupid comment? If you guys knew subaru's like you say, you'd know that both those items are required for maximum performance and less lag. Nothing worse than cold headers for turbo spool. And the splitter makes a massive difference.

[ryan348]

@chrism6 your an idiot

[yamahaSHO]

That's a crap-ton of anti-seize.



[ColeFilth]

where do you hook up headers to

[marbro52]

@ColeFilth research man it will do you a lot of good haha lol jk exhaust manifold bottom of you moter/ engine what ever you prefer.

[lbori1]

@silverdiaz7 yo bro if u bought from the company they should've given u new bolts with them but if u bought them from someone on line them most likely would want to buy the bolts that fit those header IMO..

[fasttrackme]

do you have to raise the engine to install the headers?

[ElectroRain82]

if my car is a dual exaust system and i buy a header is it auto dual exhaust or like wth do i buy

[ProdriveForester]

Just remember that if your car is not an STI, but standard Forester XT ´06-´07, your oilfilter will be in the way off installing the header. In that case you will need the oilcooler from wrx ´02-´05 or STI. Then you are able to change the angle of the cooler and your filter will be placed like on this model. The new cooler is bigger than the old one, so you also need the bolt since it dosnt come with the cooler. Oilcooler parts nr. 21311aa051 and bolt is 21317aa022

NICE TUTORiAL u make it look ez

[STiLab]

WOW i've gotta hand it to ya.....this tutorial is very detailed & clear. 10/10 for this one

thanks alot

[zadoks]

Isnt the spool slowed a little bit if using a larger diameter header on a stock turbo?

[lancerevogolfmk1]

What's the reason of headers after the turbo?

[rally411tv]

Better flow through the intake and exhaust allows more power. That includes the entire exhaust system.

[MY03STI]

lift the engine on the sump!! i wouldn`t let that guy change my wheel......

[lilballa8189]

we just need to take the motor mount bolts off correct and the lift up on the oil pan

[j456321]

Alright so i wanna put headers on my 85 chevy, and my dads sayiin that if i wanna put headers on it that i have to get exhaust headers, and duel exhaust.. do i need all of those three things? im 17 so thats gonna be alot out of my pay check...

[Metallipotty]

Ive never installed headers, but I'm going to on my Integra soon. A little advice from the more auto-savvy people? If I get the headers, do I need to get a header pipe too, along with a cat converter?

[kamilpolniak]

he says not to torque to high or to low but an extension lowers the torque of the bolt. so should off torqued it about 5 lbs more

[rally411tv]

A good Quality extension should not lower the torque by more than .5 lbs so it wont matter. A bad one might effect it by 1lb

[kamilpolniak]

@rally411tv oh really? so its not much than... i used to work in a shop and they said not to use extensions but its not much so it doesnt matter than

[5nallyg0d]

looks just like wrx setup. i wish i would of seen this vid before i did it. hahaaaha

[aznbenle21]

wow that looks easy, maybe its just the car setup

[Perazzi11]

im check him out i live like 30mins away from roseville... humm thanks rally411tv ur tha shit

[Katlunazul]

If this video were made by expertVillage it would have taken at heast 55 videos!

[dibMedia]

is that a good thing? hehe

[Terd2402]

do the torque setting vary from car to car?

i have a 2002 mazda protege

can i torque it down to the same 27 foot pounds?

[rally411tv]

yes they are going to be different for each car. That will vary from engine to engine as well so not all subarus are going to be the same. Check the manufacturers recomended torque settings for your car. You can get that from stuff like chilton manuals or some autoparts stores and can even call the local dealer.

[Terd2402]

oh wow thank you very much!

[soggynoodles63]

Is he single?

[rally411tv]

i dunno he doesnt have a ring on his finger!

[vodkasti]

Back off skank.

[LiLTMac123]

does that equal length rub the subframes like most unequal does

[Perazzi11]

nope it doesnt

[GarrettGiuffre]

Good Video! Do Spark Plugs and Fuel Injectors next

[eautocad]

awesome DIY it's nice to see it in video rather than text lol... stop by my channel sometime and check out my sube :) I go off road.. haha

[rally411tv]

missed it on the recording. Hopefully people watch the video before they go for it. So they notice where he mentions re-installing it.

[gdrozd555]

Shouldn't you mention to loosen up engine mounts before jacking up the engine?
