am getting an afterburner centre pipe and backbox fitted on monday on my MY05 STi at scoobyworld...will the original centre pipe fit in the car to bring it back home with me!!?! dunno why i didnt think of this before

 

don't they do various fitments of this? as long as there aware its a my05 sti then surley they would know and have told you it wouldn;t if not?

 

not sure about various fitments...they are aware of the year of the car etc. i am sure they didnt think i was gonna leave my original parts with them lol. i am sure someone on here will have either suceeded in getting their centre pipe in or struggled and failed...let me know please.

 

as long as its broken down into parts then it fits

 

LOL! shall take an angle grinder with me then!!! tbh, if the centre pipe dont fit i sharn't worry as i dont think there's much value in it...i shall be selling the prodrive back box anyway.

 

if you do bring the centre section home i would buy it off you if its not got the resonator in the pipe

 

its a resonated centre section i am going to be taking off i am afraid.

still, will it fit in the bl00dy car or not? anyone?

 

I have a wagon, so no probs there. But if it's unbolted from the oe back box then I'd guess it'll fit no probs, with a back seat folded down? I'm guessing the seats fold down in a non wagon?

Hi Ryan

pretty sure the seats dont fold down in a saloon...there is a "ski hatch" though...i think! wish i had thought of this before now! it will be unbolted from the back box...fingers crossed its gonna fit.

 

Seperated they will both fit ok, you might want to have something to wrap them in though as at the least you'll have to use the hatch for the centre section. Just take an old bed sheet for the centre section, though to be honest i'd just leave it with them if they'll have it.

yes the centre section will fit in your boot if you want to take it with you, if not we will happily scrap it for you.

 

I've managed to fit an all-in-one back box and centre section in through the ski hatch thing in my MY05 STi ages ago, it was wrapped well and just managed to fit

 

that all sounds good then! er...one last thing...is the resonated section actually worth anything to anyone, or should i leave it with them?

 

Hi there,

I just de catted my 06 wrx with a system from the turbo back and I managed to get my while old system in the boot of my car. The sections are quiet small. Longest was a couple of feet.

Hope this helps.

 

will let you know tomorrow...tomorrow being exhaust day...yippee!
