Ewww. Mystery header, btw you cant tell from the pics but in a few places still it has that real sweet blue and silver tint like a quality ceramic coated header would have, its just oxidized over time. So i want to start looking around for a new flexpipe, any suggestions on what i should go with?

Possibly one of the unobtainable headers off of yijoo? I know they had an HKS one for us there, it's possible there is more. You gotta remember the car is 10 years old man, there's still things we don't know about them as far as who made what.

just get them directly welded to your oem flex pipe. I have 4-2-1's configured like that on my 1.8 and they work great. 1.8 and 2 litre aftermarket headers are all the same. At least here in Australia. And i might be wrong, but it doesn't have to say ecfi on the plenum, it can still be a 2 litre.

As for that, pretty much any muffler shop would be able to weld a new flex pipe in for you. It would be the best option unless your handy with a welder. In that case Midas sell the flex peices for about the same price they would charge you to cut out the old one and weld the new one in. Good Luck and that was almost as good of a deal as I got for my motor. 120$ for head and block. Its the 1.8 tho but I pulled it out of the car... it was smashed really bad in the rear. What a shame it only had 20k on it. Still ran, doesnt now cause I took it appart and its all in its millions of peice glory.

Today i got around to getting my header welded to the rest of the exhaust and i went to O'reilly auto parts and got a 5$ can of dupli color ceramic header paint in black and sanded and painted my header. The header is on the car now, but im taking a break from extending the O2 sensor and it should be running within the hour. All in all im happy with the end result, it looks great in a good coat of paint. Tell me what you think, also if we could figure out the brand name on this particular one it would be awesome.

hopefully that paint will hold up.. the VHT flameproof stuff woulda probably worked better..

the headers look AWESOME though.. cant wait to hear how they sound, and how you like em.. thats prob my fav. beta n/a header. i love the design..

Whoa!!!!!
I just started it up and let it run for a few minutes and gave it a few curiousity revs and it sounds sick even with the stock exhaust it gives it a throatier note. Im in love, im probably not going to drive it tonight just so the paint cures a little bit more but im impressed with the results.
