i have a my97 wrx which has a standerd engine apart from a K&N pannel filter and sum NGK plugs, was serviced .ike 2 weeks back for its big 60 k service

my mate wants to sell me his revolution exhaust system, it doesnt include the downpipe, will this break my car??

its running on optimax only, no boosters are being used as im told it will be fine
i dont want to buy it if its gonna hurt my car, im told the higher powerd wrxs are pretty stressed as it is and tuneing them up will blow them

help people
cheers

If it doesn't include the downpipe then you will just be getting a (Magnex) backbox and centre section which will add little in terms of power gain, so I wouldn't worry.

ok what would happen if i fitted a downpipe

your saying the main system is made by magnex?

When you say my97 wrx, does that mean a my97 turbo (euro model) or my97 wrx (jap import)? Makes a suprising difference...

jap import
wrx styley
276bhp on 100 ron fuel
running on optimax and a set of plugs and a pannel filter
thanks

The Revolution system is made by Jetex by the way.
With or without downpipe, it is very unlikey to cause any problems. The downpipe will release extra horses, the rest of the system will mostly add noise.

all revolution systems ive seen are 3 inch straight through ,your dp will more than likely have a 2.5 inch flange so i would check that before you buy

thanks for the advice
my mate had the system on his uk car for a few months, then removed it when he sold the car
i was told that changing the exhaust will raise the turbo boost?
a few psi?
looks like its fine to buy tho
might drop by at revolution and ask a few people what they rekon

I have the full decat revolution on my my97 uk, and it does make a difference in power, raises boost by about 0.5 - 1 psi, but drives better...
