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

  • @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.

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

  • @chrism6 sir that is a stupid comment.

  • What's the reason of headers after the turbo?

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

  • @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!

  • 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!!

  • @chrism6 your an idiot

    

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

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

  • @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.

  • @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.
