Ive just bought a Scoobysport up-pipe. Its for my 93wrx.

It should be delivered tomorrow.

The story is that i didnt do my research. I didnt realise that its quite a labour intensive job. At the minute, i cant afford to get it fitted so its just going to sit around for a bundle of months.

So - i'm just trying to guage if anybody would be interested buying it off me when it arrives.

It's not that bad a job to do.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, but my pref is

Downpipe off
Turbo off
Unbolt lower up-pipe bolts.
Remove old and refit new up-pipe
Refit turbo
Refit downpipe

All depends on garage labour rates but at say £20 an hour, it should take a leisurely 3 hours, so only 60 quid.

I better get a quote.

Ive been using Falkland Performance as they replaced my engine when it went.

See what they have to say. See the thing is, if your going to replace the up-pipe, what about getting the headers ported etc and so it goes on - do you know what i mean!!!

to be on the safe side ur better asking someone else to do it-- trust me

You can do the headers in the future after having the up-pipe done if you want.

You don't have to get it all done at the one time.

The exhaust manifold unbolts from the cylinder heads and up-pipe without taking the turbo off.

All you need to do is jack the car up, undo the heatshields on the manifolds, undo the up-pipes bottom bolts and undo and remove the manifolds from their respective heads.
Then it's a case of porting the manifold pipework to suit and refit.
