Is the HKS downpipe already available for a MY99? Looking at takakaira homepage it says coming soon but when I called TDI they said that the HKS downpipe they have fits the MY99. I'm confused!!
Thanks for any advice. The other question would be can I fit the HKS downpipe while keeping the standard middle section? Right now I have a Supersprint backbox with Apex'i Power Intake.
My local Subaru dealer says that anything over 63mm in diameter is bad for the car (they sell Supersprint systems) Also does the HKS downpipe fit with the Blitz Nur Spec R system as I'm planning to purchase the Blitz system soon.

Thanks,
ramon

There is an HKS D/P for the MY99 car - but I would have to suggest that you may find the Scoobysport item better value for a very slightly higher price. Very popular in the UK.

The HKS item is not the best, although it does give you the benefit of no cat, but not great gas flow and no allowance for the wastegate. As I have said elsewhere, it is the only piece of HKS which has not impressed me by how well it is made or finished.

Thanks Rannoch,

Yes, in fact the Scoobysport one looks good too (I thought the HKS one had wastegate allowance!?).
Anyway, I contacted Scoobysport a while ago on shipping to Luxembourg but didn't get any answer from them. I even think the Scoobysport one is cheaper than HKS?

Anyway, Thanks,
Ramon
