Default Manifold to turbo exhaust up pipe?

Anyone got any recommendations? Mines a bit leaky. Sounds great when it pops when slowin down but it's starting to get on my **** a bit. Been for a quote at Subaru an they want 350 plus 350 to fit it. Been advised to try eBay and found a Scorpion uprated part for 100quid, but thought I'd try you guys before goin for it. It's for a 2003 bugeye wrx ppp.

Harvey sells some good ones on here https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...lt-flange.html

Expect to pay £50 - £100 for fitting, you may need a map after if having a decat uppie

Otherwise i have a excellent condition blobeye up-pipe you can have for £50 + P&P ?

Does that part have a cat?? Wouldn't have thought it would seeing as tho it comes from exhaust manifold and up to the turbo. The guys at Subaru called it a flexible pipe, said nothin about cat. Already have a guy to fit it, would do it myself if it wasn't for the fact I've already had the turbo off and if I have to do it again I know i'l lose my rag with it.

Both the Bug and Blob WRX do have the 3 cats, as listed above:-




But the STi, I believe, just has the one in the section immediately after the turbo - no.2 in the pic, commonly known as the 'downpipe' (despite Subaru referring to it as the "centre section - front").
