Cool Impreza WRX STI JDM Downpipe options

Good weekend!

I'm sure this has been covered before but I'm unable to find a definitive answer.

On a blobeye jdm sti (twinscoll 2005) I'm looking for a new donwpipe.

I currently have the a stock one as pictured here;


I have seen a hawkeye (2006 with the 2.0l engine) JDM twinscoll downpipe for sale (same as picture below);


Are these 2 item interchangeable? I.e can I remove my stock blobeye one and fit the hawkeye one in place?

Many thanks in advance, I'm still new and getting used to the Subaru world!

You'll probably need a map tweak, as that looks like a sports cat.

I was under the impression the GDB-C/D Twinscroll JDM STI 03-04 Models (non widetrack blobeye) had different length pipes compared to the GDB-E Twinscroll JDM STI 05 Models (widetrack facelift blobeye)?

Interestingly I'm looking in to this very thing myself currently and everything being labelled up as just 'GDB' is very unhelpful.
