Here it is, one of Rocky Mountain Westy's true specialties. This beautiful header is manufactured right in our fabrication shop. The tube is bent on our mandrel tubing bender by a amazing fabricator and it is tig welded on our custom jig by one of the best tig welders in the business. We are proud to offer products that are Made in America. This 4cyl header will work on either a 2.2L or a 2.5L Subaru engine. This system is designed to be used with a slip on Magna flow cataltic convertor and a Magna Flow muffler. The Magna Flow Convertor that we use has a provision for your O2 sensor. If you have a OBD II conversion, there is a option to have a threaded bung welded into your exhaust for your second o2 sensor. The construction of this exhaust is amazing. We use 3/8 thick stainless steel flanges that are custom cut on a water jet for a precise fitment. The primary tubes are 1 1/2 .065 304L stainless tubing. The go into a formed 2 to 1 16g formed stainless collector that then goes into our 2 in collector pipe which is also .065 304 Stainless. Our collection and splices are gapless and perfectly precise for a super strong joint. We slip fit the connections and use Tork-Tite band clamps to secure the connections. These clamps are the best in the business. The tubing we used is the best quality and is milled in the Rath Gibson plant in Wisconsin. Throw away your old VW exhaust, all of it, You just found the best Subaru Vanagon exhaust header on the market.
The exhaust tone out of the system is perfect. It has pleased all sorts of drivers. It is super quiet at idle and cruising speed and has a nice deep tone under heavy acceleration. It is the best of both worlds. We realize that some customers may want to use the factory Vanagon Catalytic Convertor and muffler. If this is your style, give us a call and we will set it up for you that way. This requires having a 3 bolt flange welded on the 180 bend. We will supply the flange. We don't like welding them here because it is important that your catalytic convertor is correctly oriented before the flange is in it's final position. This is easy and can be done without taking your whole van to the muffler shop. It comes with directions on how to get it done correctly.
