Using the Killer B Motorsport Holy Header is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is in the fitment list, which includes 2002 - 2014 WRX, 2004 - 2015 STI, 2004 - 2014 Forester XT, 2005 - 2009 Legacy GT, and 2005 - 2009 Outback XT. Keep in mind that some models may need modifications to the stock oil cooler or fan shroud. You'll also need to check if your specific model requires a different oil pan, like 02 - 05 WRX may need a 2.5l STI oil pan and 06 - 07 WRX needs an STI oil cooler and pan. The header works with OEM EJ25 Oil Pans and the Killer B Motorsport Performance Aluminum Oil Pan, as well as any 2 - Bolt Up - Pipe (but the up - pipe isn't included). When it comes to maintenance, since it's made of thick - walled 321 stainless steel, it's quite durable. You can ceramic - coat or wrap the headers to improve heat retention, and it won't exceed the temperature limits like 304 stainless steel. Just remember, this product is not legal for sale or use in California on any emission - controlled motor vehicle.
