Grimmspeed Unequal-Length Header 2002-2014 WRX/2004-2021 STI

While other aftermarket unequal length headers use different runner lengths for each cylinder, GrimmSpeed's proprietary design utilizes an innovative setup where each bank of runners are equal length, but one set is 1.5 times the length of the other, providing the rumble sound that we all love while maintaining the performance of an equal length setup. GrimmSpeed utilized a single piece, mandrel bent runners to minimize disturbances to the exhaust gas along with an extremely durable cast 304 stainless steel collector to achieve keep each back of runners truly equal length which would be difficult to accomplish with a 4-into-1 welded collector. The low angle merge this collector makes for faster spool and unbeatable off-boost throttle response. To match this flow, the collector features machined internal diameters to perfectly match the 1 ¾” primary runners and 2” secondary pipe, eliminating unwanted “steps” in the exhaust flow.

GrimmSpeed's unequal length header features ½ inch flanges for both the heads as well as the up-pipe side. These combined with the 14 gauge runner pipes make for extreme durability and heat retention.

The GrimmSpeed header out-spooled the competition’s equal length header by 50rpm while making similar boost levels. The GS UEL header produces more torque than the equal length manifold right out of the gate, producing about 15ftlbs more throughout spool up. At peak, the GrimmSpeed UEL header was able to produce an extra 2 ft/lbs of torque and a claimed additional 21 hp compared to the equal length setup.

QUICK SPECS:

Fitment Notes:

• 2002-2005 Subaru WRX require STI oil cooler and STI oil pan/oil pickup.
• 2004-2008 Forester XT require STI oil cooler and STI oil pan/oil pickup. MAY REQUIRED OTHER CUSTOMIZING.
• 2006-2007 WRX requires STI oil cooler.

The GrimmSpeed unequal-length header fits all 2002-2014 WRX and 2004-2021 STI, with the fitment caveats listed above.
