I had a prodrive sports cat downpipe fitted to my 03 WRX yesterday, together with a centre piece.

The centre piece was 2nd hand and the downpipe was new but bought cheap because the chap never got around to fitting it. The downpipe had a serial number on it beginning with SE.

Anyway, had mass load of trouble fitting all together as either the downpipe or centre pipe was too short. In the end with a lot of head scratching, managed to get it fitted with about 3mm clearance between the back box and the subframe.

So I'm wondering, is the downpipe fake, I think the centre piece is legit as it is well used, anyway, anyone know of fakes going around????

Up to MY06 hawkeyes, UK newage cars had 4 exhaust sections (centre section was really a 2 piece item) after the turbo but JDM cars only had 3 (downpipe was much longer than UK item).
Have you mixed up various types to fit it?
