RS 2.5 headers, You cant use an oil cooler for the spin on filter. Be weary about the fitment and quality of eBay headers. It's pretty much hit or miss.

I moved this topic to the correct forum.

Oxygen sensors (both of them) are located in the Catalytic converter sections (also known as the J pipe), not the headers.

As far as fitment goes, authentic Borla headers will fit best, but they have nearly as many weld problems as their much less expensive knockoffs, which have hit and miss fitment. Any N/A (non-turbo) header for any Subaru model listed will 'fit' your EJ25.
