Subaru knows this... but why they still use uel on S series STI (S202, S203, S204, S402)? If they really want, they can make el headers for them.
Answer to this, IDK. Only Subaru knows. But thing I know is boxer engine have more stuff to worry than putting more stress on #2 & 4 cylinder. btw, #3 cylinder have higher chance of comp ratio failure than #2 & 4. Why? IDK
Number 1 thing they need to worry is crank bearing. higher the rpm goes, boxer engine have more chance of having crank bearing failure. I want to know how Toyota gonna solve this problem, cuz I'm expecting this car to at least beat GC series Impreza redline.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Well kinda since the issue seems a bit more complex.
