Note:      Due to the varying quality of the headers I receive back, I have decided to have all headers commercially glass bead cleaned - this adds a bit to the price but makes sure everyone gets a nice header that looks like new.

Here is a picture of the shiny (nearly new) header:

The key features, of this arrangement, are:

1) The ECU and gauge temperature senders stay in the Subaru stock position, where they both see the average of the coolant temperature from the two heads - as Subaru had originally intended.

2) The brass heater connection is nicely located to feed directly into the top connection of the pressure tank. Ensuring that any air in the system is swept into the tank for automatic bleeding (burping).

3) Optional provision for after market temperature sender - 1/8 NPT (sender not included).

4) Gauge sender location can be either left to take the Subaru stock sender or as an option can be tapped to take the VW sender used in the 1.9 L WBS engines - so the vanagon gauge will read the same as it did originally (sender not included).

5) The brass barbed fitting for the thermostat housing fits inside  1/2 in tubing

Here is what it looks like when it is installed and the wiring harness has been modified to match the new location of the temperature senders (sorry I do not have a picture of the nice clean header installed yet):

NOTE:

1) The casting cost, if you do not want to ship your header, is $55.00 USD.

2) The exchange headers are ready for immediate delivery but if you want your header modified allow 3 weeks and the price will be $20.00 more as I will not be able to batch the welding and cleaning (My base price is dependent upon being able to process at least 5 headers at one time).
