Smile API: Decat Down Pipe!

Just had an API 3'' d/p decat for my racing Sti V3.
The big sport cat I had on seems to be strangling the engine, so time for another decat.

The bell mouth 3'' all the way through was such a good fit it is untrue.
I have tried 6 down pipes over the last 3 years, but this one just dropped into place, ALL the nuts and bolts finger tightened without fuss, and the pipe missed every crossmember, AND matched my beloved Revolution 3'' perfectly; as in perfectly.

Started the job today to fit it at 5.30am and finished in time to make breakfast for the wife at 7.30am exactly!

Very impressed.

Yes, suppose I am now, bit like 50% of all Impreza drivers!

The system after the d/p is in fact my trusty Revolution system, sounds like this:
DropShots Day

Just got back from a quick test drive.
No CEL's and it reves like it used to again.

Lesson learnt.

Graham.

Next spectator hillclimb in the Midlands is next weekend at Prescott Hillclimb, near Gotherington, close to Cheltenham.
About 4 miles from Power Station and the M5.

Great twisty track with good facilities etc.

See you there?

We are all there....

The APi elves snuck out during the hours of darkness and measured everything properly, so that it fitted like it does. Just part of our service -
