Evening all
I have just got a decat downpipe for my 1995 import wrx
im Going to fit this tomorrow but was just wondering if there are any niggles,hints or tips you might have as on my old Nissan there was always a little suprise.
Any help welcome

give all the bolts a good dose of wd40/penetrating oil type stuff, have a good set of sockets, 6 sided are the best.

take your time and should be fine.

Don't want to spoil your mood but are you having a re-map after you fit this? could end up causing over boosting problems otherwise.
Some people however do fit them without a re-map but for the biggest improvement gain & safest method; it's best to have it re-mapped.
Anyway should be easy enough to fit (providing your able to use a spanner ) but it is advisable to have some spare studs. Goodluck whatever you do

I have just heard the bolts on the turbo can be a pain so take your time with these, I have a 95 wrx with decat; no boost spikes

Yes its true the bolts can cause problems on turbo. When I had my sports cat fitted they had to heat the old bolts and ended up drilling them out?

As said it's a pretty straight forward job providing all the nuts & bolts are in tact not rounded off otherwise as I found out it made it a nightmare, I think there's a pretty decent guide on JGM's site

Thanks guys and yes will be getting it remapped once all other parts arrive
it only gets driven about once a month or on track days so its not in use every day

Hope you got it fitted easily enough and there are some great trackdays and Action days at Castle Combe this year if the cars ready.

Nice
I'm in South Wales so theres Pembrey not too far away but I much prefer Castle Combe.
It's one of the fastest circuits in the country and is always an exciting drive IMO. If you look on Youtube there are some great videos on there showing the track in all it's glory.

Also the Nippon Challenge is also now visiting Castle Combe which is a double header Race day in June featuring lots of Impreza & Japanese car track racing to watch.
