Killer B Motorsport - HOLY HEADER!

The Killer B Motorsport Holy Header was developed using state of the art CAD software & simulations to determine optimal design to increase power in the mid to high RPM range. Short as possible primaries with a single secondary significantly decrease header volume allowing exhaust gas pressure to build quickly. Symmetrical 4-1 design maintains high and consistent exhaust velocity as RPMs rise. You can expect faster spool up time compared to long primary/double secondary designs. A difference you will immediately notice in throttle response and the ability to hold more power higher into the revs.

Features include:

· Short Equal Length Primaries. The shortest possible length primaries you can have on an Equal Length header. Short means less header volume and quick spool up.

· Symmetrical Primary Design. All primaries have a similar tube length AND bend geometry. This keeps the pulse velocities high and consistent compared to equal length headers with different (non-symmetrical) primary tubing geometry.

· Smooth Mandrel Bends. All of the bends utilize a mandrel for smooth non-restrictive flow. Not only that, we use the largest bends possible at every location. It would be cheaper to use 2” bends everywhere, like others do, but that’s not going to give the best performance.

· Thick Walled 321 Stainless Steel Construction for Long Life. 321 is alloyed with titanium, costs more, a lot more, but it’s the ideal material for high temperature turbocharged applications. Would 304 stainless work, yes, but the temperatures on our turbocharged cars can exceed the limits of 304 stainless enough to make them brittle and crack. 321 stainless steel has higher strength and toughness at elevated temperatures. It was developed by the aircraft industry specifically to address 304 stainless manifolds that were cracking. Killer B Motorsport is the only company that manufactures full 321 headers.

· High Heat Retention. 321 stainless steel conducts less heat than 304 stainless steel. The short primaries and properly sized secondaries also pull less heat from the exhaust gasses increasing turbine efficiency. Large tubing headers expose the exhaust gasses to more surface area transmitting more heat and reducing exhaust energy. You can also ceramic coat or wrap our headers (and keep the warranty) without exceeding the temperature range like you can with 304 stainless.

· V-Band Up-Pipe Connection. Why V-Band? Fast, easy, no gasket, no leaks, perfectly concentric alignment of tubes for no disruption of flow, what’s not to like!

· Up-Pipe included. Of course it comes with an Up-Pipe! This header was designed as a complete system. Using other up-pipes would only compromise performance, and nobody wants that.

· Weights only 17 pounds (vs. OEM weights 25 pounds)

· Works with OEM EJ25 Oil Pans, and Killer B Motorsport Performance Aluminum Oil Pan!

· Made in the USA and Killer B quality!

From our testing on a stage II STi we've seen 18ft/lbs of peak gains with 27+ ft/lbs from 4,400-5,500RPMs and 25whp peak gains with 30+ whp from 4,800-5,700RPMs


While we feel these are the most technologically advanced and great performing headers, please don't just take our word for it. Click on the links below to see reviews from a couple of the countries top Subaru tuning shops.


EFI Logics test and review of the Killer B Motorsport Holy Header - +30whp/+28wtq "The header gets a big thumbs up from us".


Yimi Sport Tuning test and review of the Killer B Motorsport Holy Header - +15whp/+27wtq "slightly improved boost threshold and significantly more area under the curve. Never bad when bolting on a part yields more power everywhere".

There are some companies that make an OEM to rotated adapter so that shouldn't be a problem.

Comparing 4-1 vs 4-2-1 (from my own marketing info)

· Short Equal Length Primaries. The shortest possible length primaries you can have on an Equal Length header. Short means less header volume and quick spool up.

· Symmetrical Primary Design. All primaries have a similar tube length AND bend geometry. This keeps the pulse velocities high and consistent compared to equal length, and 4-2-1 headers with different (non-symmetrical) primary tubing geometry.

· High Heat Retention. The short primaries pull less heat from the exhaust gasses increasing turbine efficiency. with a 4-2-1 more tubing expose the exhaust gasses to more surface area transmitting more heat and reducing exhaust energy.

Essentially compared to traditional aftermarket 4-2-1 Subaru headers our header has significantly less volume, which means it builds pressure faster and spools the turbo quicker. That and the scavenging effect of a 4-1 design gives an efficiency increase up high in the revs. If you look at the dynoplots in the reviews (and on our website) you'll see power not only increases, but the curve gets wider as well.
