De-cat downpipe supply & fit options?

[DerekW]

Hi folks,

I'm thinking about getting a de-cat downpipe fitted on my MY01 WRX. Any recommendations for where I could get this done around Glasgow or central Scotland?

I've heard C&C in Hillington are ok for custom exhausts - anybody had this done here? Meercat too in Kilbirnie but maybe an H&S pipe from AWD in Perth might be the safest option?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Derek

Add Hypertech in Bonnybridge to that list

I recently went for the H&S up pipe and down pipe at AWD.Makes a huge difference to throttle responce,more grunt and I trully love how the car sounds now.They did a great job for me,my cars never been healthier...........so I say go for the H&S @ AWD

Hi Derek, C&C told me they can make an uppipe and downpipe for the Scoob, I was in there at the weekend getting my H&S backbox customised (as it's the worst fitting exhaust I've ever seen).

I would get the up pipe done too mate as it's a big limiting factor when you go to somone like Andy F for a remap.

Remember to budget for heat wrapping both pipes; it?s like £100 for a kit from Deamon Tweeks. I had my H&S pipes heat wrapped and fitted by Kenneth Brown in Hillington, hes' well respected in the Scooby game and did a great job on mine.

Thanks guys. I'm tending towards AWD due to their experience with Subarus but I never considered wrapping the up/down pipes. Is this necessary or is it just a "nice to have"?

Cheers,

Im sure peeps would agree that the downpipe SHOULD be wrapped. Its a real pain to do it once its on so you should arrange for it to be done before installation.

Mine is wrapped but my up pipe isnt, and it runs like a sweety. I have noticed that underbonnet temps are high since all this de-catting etc so since COOL is good - get it wrapped!

As I remember reading somewhere - hot exhaust = better flow. Hot engine = HELP.

Or something along those lines.
