As the title says I now have a UEL header installed with my stack.

 

Before:

 

After:

Have any pics from under the car? Curious to see how you routed it.

 

 

I did all of the fab work myself. I love working at an auto shop.

Thanks...gives me some ideas for exhaust routing after I install the lift kit.

needs MOAR flapper.

holy fire hazard batman, you need some heat shielding in there stat!

 

also where did you get that UEL? My outback sounds like a honda and I don't like it. I just upgraded from a 90 lego (avatar) to a 97 outback and am waiting to put a pipe on it until I go UEL

needs MOAR flapper.

 

 

x2.

 

get a lil flapper valve like you see on tractors. rain will collect in the exhaust otherwise.

I already do I just take it off when it isn't raining or snowing.

I love that it bugs other people in drive-thru's. lol

What kind of fuel economy are you getting. My exhaust is similar less the stack, having the cherry bomb in the mid-pipe and a borla replica header. I am getting 15 mpg, that is 7.5 gallons to 105 miles when i filled up last.

There's actually a giant rust hole collecting cool outside air and cool the pipe. lol. it actually just get warm to the touch. and I just got an EBay UEL.

from I think performance Parts outta Illinois.

I get about 19-20 on unleaded then a solid 20 on premium and 21-22 on premium without ethanol.

SO the header I have is topspeed-pro1-performance

Yeah my 15 mpg was regular grade 10% ethanol. I went with mid grade this time, i will see if that helps. I might have to make some sort of baffle for the tailpipe to help the torque.

 

If none of that helps, i would probably be best to go back to a stock header, or get cams.

 

the last 95 legacy i got averaged 18mpg with stock header and no muffler, hollow cats, but it ran so rich it would sting my eyes.

^ that sounds like my truck. lol

 

I was getting 18 with oversized mud tires on it.

but it runs so rich now I get about 10 with undersized highway treads. :-\
