At this moment the flash editor is still in development for the US market. We are still waiting for the official release date.

The hard parts are complete, and the single exhaust systems are being produced for us as I type this.

um, rant here.

I really hate how people say "boxer sound". No. A flat 4 sounds no different than any 4 cyl (with the exception of combustion chamber design and materials used). The noise people associate with a Subaru is a stupid gimmick they came up with back in the day to set themselves apart. It is an inefficient design, and only an assload of tuning to compensate. You may say that N/A there's not much difference in performance, but throw FI at it and there is certainly a noticeable difference.

Say you want an unequal length manifold, not boxer. You can make any car sound like it's choking on it's own fumes if you want.
/endrant

Also if you want to spend $2500 on that POS, then know that you are better off buying a welder off of ebay, setting up a jig ( or not cuz you aren't worried necessarily about quality), some piping, and playing Bob the Builder. At least you'll have some fun, and you can make it so unequal length your balls will vibrate when you rev the damn thing. This of course is a joke. Or is it?

nengun overcharges. i imagine evasive and many of the other places will be able to get it stateside for less. in any case, your gains are going to be nominal like most exhausts. i think dsport had the original legamax and the mxp exhausts with the highest gains in their testing. so take that for what its worth.

that aside, i was just pointing out that that link was for the header + exhaust. if they do a just-header kit, i'm sure it'll be less than $2500. especially since the current equal lengths run $1100-1400.

Why is everyone so worried about not supporting hks? If you dont like the hks headers then thats your opinion. Id rather not have the borla headers because of all the problems and mess ups ive seen on the flanges, JDL is an option for me. I was just curious if any one knew a release date for just the headers. I dont want the whole exhaust and flash editor, I already have a tomei 60r cat back and front pipe. ANYWHO if you dont have anything nice to say or anything that has to do with the TOPIC then dont post anything
