im after a decat up pipe for my 2002 wrx whats the best one to go for?does it make that much diffrence.

 

I fitted a magnex 1, not the best, i think the flanges are out of line slightly, first thing you will notice is the increase in noise as it changes your exhaust note/depth, then the throttle response, i found it alot sharper on pick up and the turbo will spool quicker, from what i have read in the past you are as well getting your original uppipe gasflowed. My mate has the same model and year as myself with very similar mods, only additional on my car is the uppipe and sti top mount but power figures are much the same

sti one mate get one for bout 25 quid off here

 

cheers guys if i get an sti one do i need to get rid of the sensor that goes in the wrx up pipe or has the sti got one?

 

yeah when they map the car they will put a resistor in the plug to knock the cel light out ,resistor only cost couple of pence

 

The boss in the WRX up-pipe if for the EGTsensor.............it's not there in the STi item.

If you fit the STi up-pipe then you will need a resistor fix in the EGT sensor socket next to the drivers side suspension turret, not allways 100% reliable though.

Might be easier to find a used WRX item and keep the EGT sensor

i just wanted to de-cat it get a better flow so thought the sti one was a good option

 

I have a miltek up pipe for my bugeye, BIG difference in performance. The drive feels much smoother and can now feel a big difference in power.

Well worth the money!

 

how much was that if you dont mind me asking

 

cost me about £350 before fitting for a decat pipe, and the decat up pipe. From Powerstation.

 

Like the man said STI will be around £25 Plus P&P.... I've got one !

LOL

rip his arm off mate best 25 quid you will spend i know loads of wrxs running sti up pipe(with resistor) with full decat pink injectors vf35 and see 330 bhp all day long.

 

and i wouldnt bother going for the sti top,way the cost up of the ic(200) plus under tray(120ish) and maybe the scoop plus painting ,either keep the wrx top mount plenty good enough or for future mods grab your self one of those hybrid front mounts for bout 280ish

 

i only paid 295 for my gt spec headers with matching up pipe brand new

 

New up-pipe for New Age WRX, decat, slip jointed, stainless steel, 5 new Subaru studs, DEI heat wrapped, £139.

 

Sounds very reasonable to me Harvey.....wrapped as well
