Default Down pipe help needed which one do i buy

Hi Guys

Need your help, I bought a down pipe off ebay because mines got a hole in it, When i got it and tried to fit it i noticed it has a slight angle on it which makes it hit the gear box, So i comparered it to my old one and my old one comes away from the turbo sort of dead straight, Where as the one i bought comes away from the turbo at a slight anlgle, which i guess is causeing the problem, I'm also guessing the one i bought is not from the same year/model as mine.

Can you guys help? Which downpipe can i buy that will fit mine with out wasting anymore money, My car is a 1995 wrx wagon import, Do i look for one just in the 1995 range and any model in that year or can i look at other years or models that will fit mine. I have also noticed sometimes when people list them they mention version i don,t know what version mines is lol,

Thanks in advance for all your help

Any downpipe built for a classic Turbo impreza (92-00 import or uk, saloon or wagon) will fit as long as it's designed to fit the std centre pipe (assuming that you have the std fittment of a dougnut gasket, & 2 bolts with springs fitted to your car)

Had this problem with my downpipe but it was only a slight touch of the gearbox - a little grinding and job done!!
