exhaust question

[DeanWRX]

ok i bought my car a month again and it came with a powerflow exhaust on it. i put my car in for a early mot to see if anything was wrong with it and it failed its mot on the exhaust being too loud.

russell(WUZ) gave me his exhaust off his r reg sti but when i tryed to put it on my k reg wrx it never fitted

is the exhaust different on these models

[RA Dunk]

i thought the exhaust system for classics was all the same..My exhaust came off of a STI as well and it fitted no probs Wuz will prob give ya a better answer when he see`s this thread

Which bit didnt fit??

Cheers,

well when i fit the middle pipe to my front pipe the pipe just doesnt sit right

none of the hangers fit

does the cat sit straight or is it at an angle

[dipsy]

The cat in the middle pipe faces the front.

[DeanWRX]

well when i fitted this the cat was sitting at an angle

what about the bracket , is the bracket which joins the two piece's meant to be at an angle for the pipe to sit straight cause mine sits level

[WUZ]

Dean, this seems to be the problem. The flanges at the connection between the Downpipe and the Centre Section SHOULD NOT BE HORIZONTAL. Nearly, but not quite.

Centre section fits so that the resonator in the C/S is nearest the front of the car.

ps - my car is an "X" reg M8!

ok so does this mean my car does not have the standard downpipe then

sorry i thought your car was an r reg

Hey bud, Powerflow exhausts are made on site and its up to the owner of the car to decide wat he wants.

So none of the standard Subaru parts will fit on to it.

 

I have a full miltek systom that will be coming of my car next week that will fit from the downpipe back.

This is for a 02 bugeye and is not to loud.

 

Pm me if i can help you out.

cheers i think i am just going to buy a hks downpipe

and my mates husband can weld exhausts so he will just convert the bracket to fit the hks pipe

i will be buying a blitz come time anyway

i think it is stupid for a company to make an exhaust that does not let other exhausts attach to it
