2004 sti. Im fed up of my rusty, pitted header tank and im thinking of replacing it with a 2005》plastic one. Are these more brittle or a weaker design? Anyone done this?

 

Just don't lean on it if you fit one, the pipes snap EASY!

 

Cheers fonzey lol

 

What he said!

 

I got a later one and I thought it was going to be plastic, but it a metallic sound when you knock it

Other option is to get the metal one refurbed - powder coat or paint it and fit some nice stainless bolts

 

Not sure if it I actually 100% plastic because it does make a metallic sound when you knock it as JonMc said.

What I don't like about the later ones is that you're screwing a metal cap onto what looks like a plastic thread.

 

i just cleaned mine on my classic and sprayed it ,but hopeing to get a stainless one from forge at £160+

 

Plastic ones are'nt as strong as the metal version, jut don't put your weight on it

I've got a spare, drop me a pm if you want it
