Ive been wanting a set of UEL headers for my bh outback but know nothing about them.
I hear a lot of people going with borla but are there any others out there?
Thanks

Looks good and good price but are they unequal length?

Yeah. Whenever you read "Borla Knockoffs", these are them.

I've owned two sets and currently am running them with a full exhaust. It sounds like a demon who found out his stock in marshmallows just dropped a dozen points right after his broker suggested a heavy investment and he's out for blood.

Ive had better luck with the dna motoring ones than the speedy racers... better fitment.
i bought a set off of ebay fitment wasnt great but i bent them... and i think they are cracked now after 20k miles?
going to buy another set but probably spend more then a $100 this time. haha let me know if anyone has one that hasnt cracked. i was going to buy another ebay one and while they make my header back have them double the welds and beef them up or something.
Am I correct in thinking this would fit a BE?

H&R lowering springs
25mm spacers on rear tires
Upper rear window spoiler

yes
Pretty much will fit any non turbo EJ series motor that has dual port heads up to around 08. I believe they started changing things before the FB engine conversion. I know the '10 Legacy has an EJ motor but different heads.

what about years prior? like a 96 OB? its still a ej25. for some reason when I look at compatability things they all start in 97 (on ebay at least) anybody know the reason for this?
96 ob 5mt are ej22e and 96 Ob 4eat are ej25d. 97+ ob r all ej25d
Because of a lack of information about earlier models, most likely.Originally Posted by foohfooh
90-95 EJ22s are dual port. 96ish-01 EJ22s are single port.
All EJ25s are dual port.
The reason I say 96ish is because 96 was a hybrid year for heads, so some may have dual port heads, some don't. It's a very simple matter of looking under the engine, it's very obvious.

Also dont let it be forgotten that there is a difference in exhaust ports between phase 1 and phase 2 2.5's regardless of dohc or sohc.
But there's no applicable difference in the context of headers.Originally Posted by 1055

Yes there is. Especially if you're going the cheaper route. The patterns are slightly difference. Try and put phase 2 headers on a phase 1 engine or vice versa.
Ask me how I know
How do you know? and do u have pictures? I've run the same headers from P1 to P2 and vise versa. even the Chinese headers don't discriminate between phases.
I think you've just run into the typical situation most of us have: quality control is junk. I don't really believe there's any difference in the exhaust ports themselves, or the J-pipe connection.Originally Posted by 1055
And I've put the same headers that were on an EJ25D onto my EJ22E and then they went on an EJ251. All fit fine.

Interesting. Back in the day when borla made real borla headers (not the cheap bullshit ones they are trying to pass off now) I purchased a set that didnt fit. They informed me that I had purchased a set designed for the phase 1 engine. It had a shallower depth (didnt clear the steering rack external lines) and the front holes were off about 5/16 of an inch on either side. I bought another p2 set and sure enough the collector was deeper and the bolt holes were different.
I dont have any pictures, this was years ago.
I also ran into this issue about a year ago with both speedy racer and dna motoring uel headers.
Maybe they were all just shitty to begin with
I have a DNA headers set from ebay and love it. Reasonable price, good build, and perfect fit
i have a dohc 2.5 engine do u think they'll fit?
There's a fabricator on USMB who is now making UEL headers for both single and dual port EJs.

Quality looks outstanding. Thought I might drop this in here.

I am thinking of buying a header. I looked at the DNA site and all I see are for imprezas. Am I wrong thinking they are the same?Originally Posted by 1055
I just added these headers to my BE today actually. Rest of the exhaust is still stock until next week. Just the headers alone u can hear a very small growl u kinda have to listen for it. But I had these on my BK as well and sounded awesome. I love every minute of it.
