UP pipe fitting for a MY02 wrx
hi guys,
i have a HKS up pipe to be fitted to MY02 wrx just wanted to find out how much i should be looking to pay to get it fitted? i was told by someone that in would take about 4 hours labour to get it on, is that roughly correct? i also wanted to know if the are complications in fitting/using different exhaust component? ie different brand up pipe,down pipe, centre section an muffler. any advive would be grrrreat. cheers nick |
I've had a quote for £75 plus vat to fit one on my '01 WRX, 3 hours labour at £25..
Believe all the aftermarket and OE exhaust parts are interchangable unless you are buying something of a different bore.. |
cheers mate,
where abouts was that quote from? is it better to keep a 2.5" or 3" bore all the way through? at the mo i've just got a prodrive back box, but i'd want to change that in the future anyway. nick |
Nick, the downpipe has to be removed in order to fit anothe rup-pipe, so if you've not changed that, but are planning on doing so, why not do it all in one go??
|
i'm going to be doing it all together, istill need to buy the down pipe tho,
there is a company on ebay selling manifolds for all model subaru's, an that has a up pipe fitted to it already, if you know what on i mean, are they any good? their the ones advertised as HKS "style" manifolds |
Just dont fall into the trap i did recently, was quoted around £100 to fit, which i thought was fine. When i returned to collect was given bill for over £200, due to every gasket being changed also.
£100 for gaskets :eek: |
^^ Hmmm, I've seen an up-pipe fitting kit with the studs and gaskets for £33 IIRC..

Will maybe ask next time, but you learns your lessons :Whatever_ Just wanted to make sure it didnt happen to the Thread starter |
Scoobyclinic:
£125 up & down pipe fitted ~4hrs. Top job..! Can get siezed nuts/studs and then it can be hell to do. The Clinic know the score and @£25/hr you can't go wrong IMHO..! BTW worth wrapping them BEFORE fitting..!;) |

I'm booked in at S'clinic this Fri, just having the up-pipe fitted, not decided on the heat wrap as yet, they do it for £25 plus VAT and use the H & S pipe which is slip jointed so no problems there..

AFAIK wrapping does a couple of things 1. retains the heat in the pipe so gasses are hotter and move quicker...
2. reduces the amount of heat rising into the engine bay |
