It could be a decat centre for a classic as they have a cat in the centrepipe but if it is will be longer than a uk newage centre section

Okay guys now all sorted due to yet another excellent fellow scoobynetter !!

the mapper who I am going to use has said he will not be able to fit me in this week ( good sign I suppose !! ) so looks like I might have time to get the " correct " decat link pipe and decat uppipe ordered after all prior to get her mapped !!

okay have sent " Harvey " on here a message regarding the uppipes he sells that are supposdly matched to the turbo ?? still to here back from him but in the meantime been looking at these on ebay- link to the same one via japspeeds own website :

seem cheap enough, design off the uppipe looks slighty different to the usual uppipes ??!! but just wonder if anyone here has any knowledge off them ??

A standard sti one used would be next best in my opinion, should get one for about £30

Okay cheers will keep an eye out for one, bit confused regards the heat wrap, does this area not have heat shields anyway ?? does both the up and down pipe requiring heat wrapping ??

Okay been offered an sti uppipe just wonder if anyone here has fitted one and actually noticed a difference with it, again the reason I ask is did not realise that some uppipes are not ideal on particular cars ie due to bore size etc and can actually cause less power.

so oe sti uppipe okay / improvment on the wrx blobeye with standard turbo ( remap + 2nd cat removed ) ??
