Is it much of a job to DIY?
Shouldn't think the bolts will be too corroded as the car's only 18 months old...

Scoobyclinic charged me £125 all in to fit up AND downpipe 4 weeks or so ago. ie 4 hours labour..!
Very good job and that included a few siezed studs to manifold (which they air sawed off..!).
Not worth me getting my ramps out for that..!

As to wether it makes a differance - yes. the turbo seems to spool earlier and it pulls better to 6000+, some say its worth 8-10 bhp ?? my cars a 2002 wrx, if you do change up-pipe,do the resistor fix so you wont get a cel light on your car.

I think I might wait and get the downpipes and remap done at the same time...just frustrating having the up pipe sat in the living room

i know the feeling, i did it all backwards. did the sportscat last year then had to remove it all to do the up-pipe this year. whish id thought it all out at the start,would have save me the extra £140.
