j10 dly Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Hey there, I'm new to the site so aint posted much. Anyway I am considering purchasing a Ninja Downpipe to go with my Ninja 2 exhaust, just wondering if any one has one and is it any good or can anyone recommend another. cheers James (details of item below from scoobyworld) Ninja Downpipe with Fast flow Cat £299.99 inc VAT Now available for Impreza 1993-2000 & 2001-2005 Important :Please note this product features a 100 Cell sports cat for maximum performance, and not a 200 cell sports cat sold by some other vendors, which restrict performance. When comparing to others brands, be sure to check the specification of the cat. Our exclusive new Ninja Downpipe with 100 Cell Fast Flow Sports Cat, fits all models of Classic Subaru Impreza Turbo has quickly become one of our biggest sellers, and for good reason - on a standard UK Impreza Turbo it easily passes UK MOT yet provides almost all the power of a decat downpipe. Flow rate is only very slightly lower than that of a de-cat downpipe, due to the high flow design of the sports cat. Manufactured in 304 stainless steel wth open neck design, narrowing to the standard 2.5" at centre section flange. Maximum power from your Subaru Impreza AND pass MOT emissions!
scotsman Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I've recently been looking at Downpipes and from what I gather, the original Ninja decat pipe is good but the sports cat isn't that hot. I was recommended to look at the STi PPP sports cat DP, TSL Thundercat or H&S integrated sports cat DP. With the later type prodrive one (Sti PPP sports cat) the best to probably try and get. Took me around just over a week to source a STi Prodrive sports cat DP secondhand. It's 12 months old and is costing me £225 delivered. Richard.
C_WRX Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Been looking at getting a fast flow decat downpipe for my newage WRX and came across above post. Found an STI PPP sports cat pipe for sale, at less than the TSL £395, but looks a little short (maybe just the pic). Description is just PPP prodrive sports CAT, so thinking it is perhaps not the downpipe?? I've already removed the cat pipe so just the downpipe to go, but for MOT purposes needs to be fast flow cat. Also will the newage STI PPP sports cat pipe fit/work okay on a WRX newage - same year band ? (yes I am a novice to all this but it's the right place to ask!!)

(yes I am a novice to all this but it's the right place to ask!!) Well AFAIK, the PPP sports cat is a 200 cell, and its located in the downpipe, also, assuming that its for a newage, it will fit all newage cars, perhaps execpt the Hawkeye, and the classic, i think, should fill all classic models... dont know about classic fitting newage and vice versa mind... what I'm not sure about, and someone else will really need to confirm, is whether it fits straight onto the centre section... I think it does, but I'm not certain... If any of this is wrong, then I'm sure I'll be corrected... Edited October 24, 2007 by thefastone

(yes I am a novice to all this but it's the right place to ask!!) The STi PPP cat is a pretty ill fit ( wrong hangers & leaves a gap at the flanges from my own experience). Go for the Ninja or the TSL. I have opted to go TSL again as I have heard of a few NInja DP's failing the MOT emissions test. My new TSL job was £410 delivered ( took less than 24 hrs to arrive!) but it really is a work of art and is fitted the the TSL 333 bhp packages. The only issue is that you'll need a classic centre section to got with it. Effectively you'll be running an entire classic exhaust system that fits your new age. My advice, is take the risk with the Ninja ( lots of people are happy with them) & save money or pay for more quality/less risk e.g TSL. The Prodrice CAT is 200 CEL, the Ninja is 150 CEL and the TSL is 100 CEL ( the latter being the more freer breathing) Hayward & Scott aslo make them but they are £500+ ! Cheers Cal

Cheers Cal Cheers folks, knew someone would know. Safe/slightly more affordable way is the Ninja I think...now, where do I get the cash from.. Think we have a friend in common Cal, moved up to Aberdeen a few months ago, Hoggy ? Sure he's mentioned your car before...although it was to say he'd not get in it !
