Prodrive Y Pipe
Hi,
is the WRX prodive Y pipe different to the STi's prodrive Y pipe? or all they all the same?
also do they offer a performance increase? or just more durability?
thanks,

Some of the STI's did not have a branch Y pipe like the normal turbo/WRX. Depends on model/year.
Generally the Prodrive Y pipes were fitted to the earlier turbos to allow them to spool up quicker and shift more air to the intercooler as part of the Prodrive Performance Package.

The Prodrive Y pipe is more durable, doesn't flex as some aftermarket one's can, they allow a smoother flow of air through unlike the OE one's and they don't crack like the OE one's can.
Not 100%, but I would imagine the WRX and STI pipes are the same.

I have an 03 STi,which I just put on a WR1 ECU and exhaust etc,but still using the stock intercooler pipe,just wondered if it was something I needed.
I'll try and pick one up off Ebay,
