Description

Will this exhaust header pass smog in California?
This Borla short tube header is California Air Resources Board Executive Order D-276-12 compliant, ensuring street-legal emissions for your Subaru Impreza or Legacy.

Is this header easy to install?
Professional installation is recommended for these performance headers to ensure proper fitment and optimal exhaust flow.

Borla Short Tube Headers deliver substantial power and torque gains for 2002-2012 Subaru Impreza and Legacy models, boasting a top Engine Performance score of 9. Constructed from T-304 austenitic stainless steel with precisely engineered 1.625 primary tubes and a 2.25 collector, these headers are built for durability and enhanced exhaust flow.

What Owners Say

Owners and enthusiasts consistently praise Borla headers for their exceptional build quality, with reports highlighting excellent welds and precise fitment that makes installation straightforward. The sound improvement is frequently noted, delivering a deeper, more aggressive tone that enthusiasts appreciate. However, there's honest debate in the community about short tube headers generally—some argue they're primarily beneficial for sound enhancement rather than significant performance gains, with a few calling them not worth the investment compared to long tubes. Despite this discussion, Borla's craftsmanship and attention to detail have earned the brand a solid reputation among those seeking quality exhaust components with reliable fitment.
