Question about headers

Post by wikt » Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:16 pm

Hey all, just wondering if anyone out there knows if those unequal length borla replica headers listed on ebay as being compatible with 97-05 2.5RS's, will fit a 2.0L RX with an EJ20E?
Here's a link to one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUBARU-I ... ccessories

Cheers.

From memory, exhaust from EJ25 doesn't fit on EJ18/EJ20/EJ22 (these 3 early EJs) does fit on either engines) as its slightly wider from what i was told.

Interesting, because this item is listed as being compatible for both EJ20 and EJ25

They will fit all EJ20, EJ22 and EJ25 SOHC engines providing that they have this type of factory header

They will not fit an EJ25 DOHC without modifications

It is stated on ebay -
(except Gen2 DOHC motors),


Gen 2 are EJ25, which i was referring, where it becomes confusing in the market (which was me as well) that EJ25 and EJ20 doesnt fit...

Anyway...
