Just came across a DC sports exhaust manifold that came off of an 04 WRX wagon. Wrecking yard wants $225 for it. Is that worth it or are they asking too much?

From what I've read on here, if you're under 300whp, the only thing you'll notice is a slight loss of low end torque. Stock headers aren't normally replaced with upgraded parts, unless you're running a big hp car that has a small power band up high in the revs.
That price is half of new.

You want to keep the stock header on these cars. If you go to a larger diameter header pipe you lose velocity and that hurts your spool times.

Awesome thanks a lot guys, was looking for a reason not to get it lol. Been spending money on too many other parts to justify getting this.

They may be exactly the same. The only difference, if there is one is that they may be similar to the more equal length headers found on some of the JDM WRX's.
