Header for Subaru Turbo in Beetle

Hi,

we made the tests on the new header now and here are some details of it.

Power plus of 14 kW
torque plus of 30 Nm

weight minus 8 kg (original header is 13 kg, ours is 5.2 kg). Boxer sound is still the same.

On my car (1303 with Subaru 2.2) we had a 4 in 1 installed. Due to this the typical sound of a Boxer was lost. Revving higher than 4.000 the engine starts to sound like a 4 in line engine. Although this header gives good power too we now decided that we want a header that does not change the typical sound.
