Re: Exhaust by Vanaru
Yes, I've seen that too, the first stainless headers from smallcar were fairly good material and I've seen several last for a long time like yours. The quality of the material has gone downhill and was mediocre since I stopped using theirs about two years ago and developed mine.

Re: Exhaust by Vanaru
After only 12K miles and numerous repairs to my SC header, I replaced it with a Vanaru header. The fit and finish were exceptional. Unlike the SC header which did not bolt up easily, the Vanaru header fit perfectly. The welds are beautiful and the quality of the material is far superior. Header issues are now in my rear view mirror! I couldn't be happier with the Vanaru header.

This header looks good but without coating it will not last long

There is no header out there guaranteed to last long time, they are allIndeed. That's the key element here. I'd also suggest using a flex joint if you are going with SS. It's thinner walled and more "brittle", and without any harmonic-vibe dampening (read: flex joint) they are doomed to crack somewhere. Mild steel just doesn'd do that though, at least in my experience. bob |

Re: Exhaust by Vanaru
yes, flex pipe won't help now but could prevent cracks if installed

during conversion i would talk to SC about cracks. There is no header out there guaranteed to last long time, they are all "aftermarket" none were designed as integral part of vehicle but had to be adapted to "hybrid" of VW and Subaru and have limitations Leon On 5/6/2012 8:06 PM, Ryan Johnson wrote:

How to wire VW 3 wire VSS on speedo?
I'm hooking up the VW (Jetta) VSS on my syncro's speedometer. Looking at my notes I'm seeing conflicting information on how to wire the three connections on this VSS.
One source says "T" is ground, "V" is signal out, "+" is Power Another source says "T" is Power, "V" is Ground and "+" is signal. Can anybody out there with this VSS or Dan Fleming's kit confirm the correct wiring locations? Many thanks, Joel |

Re: Exhaust by Vanaru
Unfortunately a flex pipe wouldn't help on two of my cracks. They are parallel with the pipe on the bends immediately under the two drivers side ports. I'm just done with it and don't want to throw good money after bad. So I'm looking at alternatives.

Exhaust by Vanaru
I'm fed up with my small car exhaust header that cracks if you look at it!
Does anyone have first hand experience with Vanaru's exhaust headers? Any problems with cracking? Rusting? They are $200 more than smallcar's but they sound like a better product. I would like an exhaust that tucks up (like smallcar's) and will last. |

if there is any difference .....it will be .002 % ( point zero zero 2 percent ) increase. a lighter mass in the crankshaft assembly doesn't actually increase hp .. it can make acceleration occur more easily due to less crank mass to get spinning faster, but does not 'produce power' by itself. heck ..flywheel mass is a good thing .. smoothes things out, helps an engine maintain speed on a grade,. but in a big van .. by itself .. I wouldn't expect much difference. They look cool though .. and are a good way to get rid of 60 to 80 bucks. perhaps in a performance car with other performance goodies.. but on a stock subaru engine pushing a big vanagon .. not gonna make much difference I don't think. scott On 5/5/2012 8:47 PM, Matt wrote:
