Up-pipe

[C_WRX]

For those that have changed their newage (blobeye in particular) up-pipe from the cat'd standard one, what one did you change it to and has it proved dependable i.e. no leaks or splitting.

I hear good idea to replace when decating/sportscating the rest of the exhaust as up-pipe cat cat pieces can break up ???

Also gives just that little bit more power.

Hope this helps

I've got a de-catted STi up-pipe just about to be fitted to mine (01 Bugeye WRX).

I went for that one on the advice of James Greenwood (@ greenwood racing developments) he said he had tried a few others on his track car and the STi one was about the best (for what I wanted). He removed the heat sheild and wrapped it for me - he said the heat sheild is prone to corrosion/damage.

It doesn't get fitted until early January so can't really tell you what it's like fitted.

Not a great website but Harvey knows his stuff when it comes to headers and up-pipes
