As for car it is CLASSIC JDM MY95 WRX Type RA STi ver2
Cause, I have just bought it. Not smart enough
the picture of it
I asked the following questions to the dealer:
not sure what is your exhasut, this item will fit on stock.
it may casue the CEL on, and the pictrure already shows what are included in the package.
we do not have tech support on how to install parts, please seek help from the professional.
no coating, its stainless steel.
and
hi,
this will replace the downpipe, and its based on euro model, and its tested on US model also.
this will fit on the stock car.
and
the 2 items have similar design, but Megan got 1 year warranty, generics got no warrnaty.
this downpipe is tested on the stock car, and fits all model within the year range we listed.
if you want to return it due to the fitment, you have to ship it back and we will issue the item price refund.
we will send you email with tracking ( if avaiable) once its shipped.
I just do not know what to expect now, as the dealer seems to know even less than me about their product...

I asked the following questions to the dealer:
1. Will this unit mate up to the rest of my exhaust? Some downpipes will fit the stock exhaust, or must be fitted to a larger exhaust.
2. Will this unit throw a CEL?
3. Does it come with new gaskets? It is always a good idea to replace exhaust gaskets.
4. How hard is it to install a downpipe?
5. How do I install a downpipe?
6. What about ceramic or other heat wrap coating?
7. is the flange donought type or flat flange?
8. Is this JDM specification design or not?
9. I mean can I bolt it to JDM GC8 chassis stock exhaust(from catback)?
10. will the flanges of your downpipe mate the flanges of stock catback?
11. the Megan downpipe here - http://stores.ebstores.us/Items/MRDPSI0205?sck=76319413 has the same picture & description. What is the difference?

Karl, are you sure it will fit OEM/Stock catback ?
I just don't get it:
The length of the downpipe, is ok, right?
the flange of the downpipe will mate the midpipe?
I won't have a leak?
and the CEL will not come on?

OK. Just my 2p...
The lambda sensor is at the worng end. Your wiring loom won't reach.
There is another bracket that bolts to a hangar on the back of the gearbox that this doesn't appear to have.
A 3" down pipe wont connect to the 2.5" centre pipe cleanly. The gasket they supply is not the same as the conical one normally fitted.
The faring at the trubo end down to the main pipe looks very sharp and you won't be getting quite gains you want.
Could be worng though...

the bracket/position wise I think it is not very clear yet, the gaskets is the real limiting factor, I think...
The bending sharpness wise look at these pics:
any other coments would be highly appreciated
