Need a catted downpipe for my `99 STI5 Type R. Its due an mot in 2 weeks
and the original has just sheared off at the centre pipe flange. I would get a decatted pipe but it`ll fail the emmisions so I need to locate a part other than from Subaru. Anybody got any ideas ?
Cheers Paul

 

Do you still have the centre?

Put a decat downpipe on and the centre cat in and it will pass the MOT fine.

Jon.

 

There was no cat in the centre pipe on the STI`s mate, it was just a resonator.
I aint even got that now coz that sheared at the flange with the backbox about a year ago so I replaced it with a s/s centre section. Thanks anyway.
Any other suggestions folks ?

 

Christ yeah forgot STIs with resonators. Doh!

Will it not weld back on?

Got a newage downpipe here but centre section is different

Jon.

 

a decat does not work until the temp is 400degrees get the car hot before the mot find a place were you can drive striaght on mine passed sti decat but you can borrow my cat if you live on the wirral

 

If I was sure it would pass emmissions I`d much prefer to get a decat downpipe. Is it certain to pass when the engine is hot ?

 

Whereabouts are you? I've got one sitting in my shed in Somerset, it's off a v6 sti wagon.

 

I could weld it back together for you, if you like..

PM me
