Question

I'm looking to get a scoobysport downpipe and a HKS Hiper center section and backbox.

What I need to know is, what size is the HKS? I'm guessing it's 3", so the other problem will be that i'm getting the downpipe first and then the center & BB.
Will I be able to fit the 3" downpipe to the original center and then swap to HKS center? Or will I have to get it all at once?

Cheers,

Mark.

Hi Mark

The HKS is designed to fit the Subaru downpipe and we replicate the same flange on the end of our downpipe.

So would you recommend the 3" to 2.5" or the 3" straight thru. It's a standard uk turbo (98).

On any car running the standard turbo I would recommend the one that tapers to 2.5".

Andy Tang used this size on his monster 357bhp UK car, as did Mo on his 348bhp UK.

Pete,

surely if you know the guy is going to fit a 3inch hks centre section then it would be wiser to recommend a straight through non reducing downpipe?

just because some powerful cars didnt have the 3 inch downpipe does not mean they would not have performed better had they had the a minimum 3 inch exhaust all the way through.
