Do uprated (i.e. aftermarket replacement) up-pipes come as one type only -

i.e. do the new-age ones also fit classics ?

I've just received one and I'd like to confirm it'll fit on my 98UK (even though it says new age on the invoice) before I take the car apart

Oh- and theres no cat (obviously)

Cheers,

Mark

The only difference being the new age cars have a EGT senser and the classics don't ,just blank it off.

Thanks - I'll have to get a blank to fill in - a bolt maybe !

Mark,
The new age STi upipe doesn't have an EGT sensor in it so no need to fill it in

The one I've bought does have though....

Its a solid pipe, which a chap I know is going to fit ... But I was a little concerned that at the 'new age' label - I'd been told it's a de-cat pipe, but I'm pretty sure that the classic has no cat anyway..... (I'm replacing it 'cos mine has a small hole in it - and small holes get bigger )

Cheers,

Yes it will fit your MY98, the EGT probe boss thread is 12x1.25mm and is great for fitting an EGT probe.

If you have trouble getting a bolt to fit let me know as I have a box full.

Thanks mate - I'll wander down to B+Q and take a look - I'll let you know...

They'll probably only have 12x1.5 which is std metric pitch, 12x1.25 is metric fine.

I have used Namrick (http://www.namrick.co.uk/browse.asp?PCID=9) for nuts, bolts etc that I can't get locally, reasonably priced and don't charge a fortune for P&P (small package are £1 + cost of stamps).

Thanks Andrew - I use a place called fwb in Stoke, but if I can't get one at either B+Q or FWB, I'll use your link -

Thanks again,

Mark
