Took your advice and have joined NASICO. Found a guy who converted to headers that may sell me what I need. Considering the only upgrade is the exhaust system and the tune concerns it brings I am tempted to just go back to stock and be happy. Been driving Subarus' for 30 years never upgraded from stock figured what the heck try something new and old school thinking it has to help. Thanks for the info will do more research. Understand the concerns of the wrap on the headers, would look really good, why are so many on the Impreza site changing to them? Not daily drivers? Will say my cars do not leak oil, no brag just fact. Even my old british ones if it starts leaking I'm pulling it. thanks again

The Baja came with the down pipe, back already installed. Looking at a little performance and fuel saving. I will be wrapping the headers before I install them. Never thought about retuning. I am mostly old school understand a supercharger over a turbo charger. I was looking at the cost considering I can get the headers and wrap for less then the shields. Would like to find a used set of shields but not having a lot of luck. Seems the left side is fairly easy to find but the right side not so much and I figure my rt side shields are missing due to the mounting bolts being broken off in the holes.

Already have replaced the down pipe and rest of system. Why would you pass on the headers?

I'm rebuilding the EJ255 engine in my newly acquired 05 Baja turbo and need header heat shields. After pricing them I started thinking about aftermarket headers. I see the Impreza header aftermarket business is booming but nothing for anything else. The OEM parts for the Baja and Impreza turbo headers are the same. Anyone try a set for the Impreza on a different sub?

If you have a clamp on amp meter you can check the starting draw or you can remove the starter and truck down to your local advance or AutoZone and they will check it for you. You will need to be there if it is bad for a replacement and the core charge will be taken care of as it will be with you.

Looks like you have Peugeot wheels. had them on a BRAT.

Are you sure it is firing or maybe just a compression kick? If it is firing then you know you have compression and spark. Sounds like fuel. Have you changed the filters? Can you see/smell the fuel in the spfi throat? Do you have enough fuel pressure? Can you hear the pump run for a few seconds when you turn on the key? Just a start, these engines are not rocket science.

Jack up the front of your car and pull and push at the top and bottom of your tires. If the bearings are bad they will move in and out. Side to side could be something else so top and bottom. Good luck

if you have to replace your compressor and receiver then I would flush the condersor and evap coils. there is a cleaning compound and pressurize tank to do this. The oils are not compatiable. If you do not need to replace anything then go with the R-12 whatever. The replacement r-12 and oil is getting hard to find. Keep in mind that the ac system is a closed system and if you are low on r-12 you have a leak someplace and will end up doing it all over again and the r-12 is only getting more expensive.

yes they should be.

I have the mounting plates and bulb holders but not the grille parts. PM me if interested.

Are the mounts and the buckets the same as a 86 BRAT?
