Default newbie needs help

iv got an 'x'reg subaru wrx bugeye, and started loosing power, sounds like its the exhaust near the turbo. took it to a garage and the guy said its the "riser" pipe from the manifold to the turbo. i need a new pipe and gaskets to fit. iv looked on ebay and theres nothing that comes up when i type in "riser" pipe!!! would it be called something else? and where can i get one and how much is the parts likely to cost? cheers johnski.

Sounds like the cat had started to break up. A decatted one will improve spool up.

iv just had a look on ebay for an up pipe from manifold to turbo. and they call them up pipe de-cat? is that the same pipe as i need? theres only certain ones like" 93-03 models, so i guess that will fit my wrx 'x' reg?
need some advice because im not sure im gonna buy the right thing.
cheers
