which headers on IX MR? (Borla 17220?)
Hi guys,
Is someone know if the Borla headers (ref 17220) fit on MIVEC / twin scroll turbo engine?
I would like to install a new header on my IX MR but some site says it does not fit and other says that is only for twin scroll (so yes!)....
Any help will be very appreciated and other headers models that fit on EVO IX MR are welcome...
Thank you very much.
Christian.

lets see.... if it fits an viii it will fit a IX, IX MR, IX VIII anything. If it is made for the car, it will fit. If it is made for the same engine just not the evo, im not sure but i dont think so.
Also, if you are looking to replace the stock manifold, be prepared to spend some money, although if you are looking at borla, you already are. ..... Most of the cheaper mani's (around 200) are just that, cheaper, and run the risk of cracking. A few companies make more expensive mani's that are a lot better obviously due to price and materials. If you want a cheaper but reliable and proven option... get with someone who makes a ported coated mani, DDI, Buschur or whatever and just get a ported coated. The product looks the same as stock just coated and everything flows much better
