Downpipe Dilema

[sinny]

Hi all,

First the good news is car booked into andy f on 18th yippee, now the bad news, ordered a sports cat downpipe from cobra sport exhaust, went to fit it and found it didn't fit was about an inch too low to connect onto centre section, they arranged collection and just heard back that it fitted no probs to their car, I am sure it's not a problem with my car as about a year ago I got a cheap Subaru downpipe cat of another hawkeye from fleabay and it fitted perfectly. Are all newage impreza 01 to 07 downpipes and 2nd cats the same size? Looked at Hayward and Scott for a downpipe but they are a wee bit pricey for me and kinda wary of buying another downpipe and that not fitting either, and time running out before re map, not sure what to do.

Cheers

After a few phone calls car is booked in to get a meercat sports cat downpipe fitted a day before it goes to andy f phew, going to tackle the fuel pump tommorrow and replace it with a walbro, some really good write ups how to do it so hoping it should be straight forward

Excellent choice mate. If I hadn't read your 2nd post I'd have suggested Meercat myself. Had one of their sportscats for nearly 3yrs now. If you haven't got one yet, get the Meercat centre section

as well.

Actually, get one of their up pipes as well!!!

Thnx for the confidence m8 , just got back from meercat after getting the sports cat downpipe and yeah i went for it, a meercat up pipe as well, already have a straight through centre section. The work they have done is really high quality, well impressed and would definately recommend them , However there is now a CEL popped up saying system is too lean but didnt come up on journey home it popped up after I went back out to get petrol, have been driving car totally off boost. I am guessing this is just a tuning issue that will hopefully be sorted by Andy F tommorrow.

Cheers

You nwill not go wrong with the work at Meercat, no fancy premises just top quality work. They have done work on my road car exhaust and done the rotated turbo pipework and all the intercooler pipework om my race RA. tell Scott i said hello
