Installing up pipe and downpipe. wrx my03
I'm just after some advice chaps. I have a decent level of skill concerning cars. I guess this question is to the people who have done the above. Will I need new gaskets? I'm assuming I will. Where's the best place to get them from? There's a possiblity worst case that I have to grind one of the studs off. Where's a good supplier for studs, nuts and bolts. Rather have the parts there just in case.
Can anybody put me in the direction of detailed guides with pictures. T

Had 01 wrx bugeye done recently. up and down pipe and turbo, i went to local tools and screws type place with the parts, bought a complete worst case scenario replacements and only ones i used were for the downpipe to centre.
On the flip side - the heatshield was right bugger to get off, i was able to put it back on after so it was done carefully.
Gasket wise go straight to subaru £17 for down pipe and £11 for the others.
If you dont fit new ones and it starts blowing you are going to be mad for the sake £35 as opposed to about 5hrs labour!

The up pipe you have to remove 4 bolts on the bottom off the engine bay on a guard. Then remove the up pipe 2 bolts on each flange and the egt sensor. Is this correct?

Got it fitted yesterday 
No real problems just the bottom 2 studs on the downpipe/turbo a little fiddly but car was on drive up ramps on the floor so didnt have loads of room 
The thing i noticed is that the dowmpipe i removed was decatted and the mouth was split, exhaust 1 side, wastegate the other, the pipe i fitted is just 1 big mouth (super bell) Whats the difference between the 2 performance wise??
