Default Ppe vs sikky headers? Which one to go with?
Decided to get headers. Want the noise and extra horsepower.

Which one is best Ppe or Silky?

Also installer saying sometimes the sensor gets stuck and may need new header sensors. Anyone have part number for the sensors?

Will also change out the motor mounts.

DC Headers. Or do a search. I don’t think you ever do.

PPE hands down. They look amazing and don’t need to remove the oil dip stick tube which I’ve heard is a huge PITA. The 1 7/8 headers sikky has look great but what’s the point when the heads have a 1 1/2 opening on the exhaust side. The 1 3/4 PPE makes are perfect.

Equal length ppe's for the sound alone. Not to mention increased fuel mileage.

It should already kick in at about 3,600 RPM.

I dont' know about that... The unequal length PPE sound is the one I love. That with the exhaust sounds so mean

I’m looking for headers as well, leaning more towards the PPE equal length. I seen OBX making some pretty cheap headers for the ISF now not sure on the actual specs of them tho.

Wow I just seen the dirt cheap obx headers, I'm willing to bet that fitment is horrible. I wish someone buys a set and tests them out.

Ok, so granted this was for a Subaru and not an IS-F.
But avoid OBX at all costs

They are cheap for a reason, and these went on a non-turbo Subaru for *****s and giggles. This is how far off they were.
All I did was make 1 cut, and them bolted down both sides.

I second this lol. But in all fairness I deal with FVD, FabSpeed, Super Sprint and even then the high end stuff you have to modify even tho it states “direct fitment” in some cases. I won’t knock on them tho, just giving people more options.
