Default GrimmSpeed PnP/Thermal Coated Exhaust Manifold

Our Subaru boxer engines kill our spool up time, most notably because of the very long pre-turbo exhaust tract(exhaust manifold, up pipe). To directly combat this loss of spool up we will port and polish all 9 inlets/outlets of your 3 piece exhaust manifold. We enlarge each port to match up with the stock subaru gaskets, porting ~6-7mm of material at the entrance/outlet of each port and then tapering down into the port. This takes out the large steps in flow and smoothes out the port to port connections. Every piece is perfect matched to eachother for optimal flow.

As far as gains, 3rd party unrelated Subaru owners typically see ~15 whp/wtq gains, most notably in the low and mid range. You should also expect to see quicker spool up time.

The GrimmSpeed HiFlow Crosspipe is an available option if you want to take it to the next step in power gains. The crosspipe is the pipe that connects the driver side exhaust manifold collector to the passenger side exhaust manifold collector. Subaru made the OEM crosspipe very small and restrictive with some very large steps in the exhaust flow path. The GrimmSpeed HiFlow Crosspipe solves all the problems of the OEM Crosspipe. With a 30% bigger bore and zero steps in the flow path, if you want optimal exhaust manifold flow, you need this pipe to achieve your goals. The pipe is constructed of 304 stainless steel flanges(most companies use polished mild steel to save on costs), thick 2" 304 stainless steel piping, and a 304 stainless steel flex joint.

You may need to tighten your turbo waste gate arm because of the higher flow that our porting and coating creates. Start by tightening the wastegate one full turn and then test where you are at. Repeat if necessary.

We also offer an optional Ceramic Coating that help combat underhood temps, prolong the life of the manifold, and will also keep the exhaust gasses hotter which in turn speeds up velocity. Coated INSIDE and OUTSIDE if you choose to get it coated. The pictures of the mani that is uncoated on the inside is just to show you what the PnP looks like.


Recap
-Creates an optimal flow path for the exhaust gas
-Expect gains in the 10-15 whp and wtq
-Optional GrimmSpeed HiFlow Exhaust Manifold Crosspipe
-Coating allows for higher gas velocity which speeds up turbo spool
-Entire powerband shifts to the left
-Direct bolt on to any 02+ Turbo Subaru
-Optional Ceramic Coating
-Keep the stock look for emissions
-Gain hp/tq without having to lose that boxer rumble

This item also available for our core exchange program. If you dont want down time you can pay the upfront core fee and get one of our exhaust manifolds, then get the core fee refunded when you return your old stock manifold.

We can also tap the exhaust manifold for your aftermarket EGT Gauge.

Would you still run the OEM heat sheilds after coating? Will they fit the hi flow cross pipe?

i dont think that would be necessary, because the heat coating would be more than sufficient. the heat shields after a procedure like this would be added weight.

Stock shields should fit over all but the larger crossover pipe I would think. I'd still use them to keep the tray and the cables on the passenger as protected as possible.

imo, the more heat protection the better. on my rides i've always thermal coated, heat wrapped, and then put the stock heat shields back on if i could fit them. our subarus need any help they can get since our exhaust tracts are sooo long.

you'd have to mod the oem xpipe heatshield to get it to work...its pretty close though.

I'm bumping this so I don't have to search for it. Interested in this setup, what kind of turn-around time would I be looking at? My stocker is off the car now.

Maybe they have one in stock so you can cross ship the core. Or do you have an EGT hole tapped somewhere so you want yours back?

I know of at least one customer who is making 500+awhp (Mustang dyno) and running 11's in the quarter on Grimmspeed's P&P manifold and x-pipe. When my car migrates back to single-scroll this is the direction I am going. The stock manifold is the shortest/quickest path for the exhaust gases to get to the turbo and I think that is a big factor on Subies. And because it is cast (and coatable, and shielded) it has good heat retention. It also has the best "sound" fwiw.

Great way to go (ported, polished, coated). The only think I'm unsure of is if the crosspipe would be worthwhile.

If the claims are true, I think it would be worthwhile.

Crosspipe should be a large contributor. The stocker is quite a restriction on the drivers side flow as it is tiny compared to the header cross section. Looks like it is out of stock though.

Yeah it says 4/7 though so maybe the site has not been updated since then.

unfortunately as of right now we are still out of stock on the crosspipes, HOWEVER, the next batch should be done tomorrow and ready to ship.
