Ive just bought a Scoobysport up-pipe. Its for my 93wrx.
It should be delivered tomorrow.
The story is that i didnt do my research. I didnt realise that its quite a labour intensive job. At the minute, i cant afford to get it fitted so its just going to sit around for a bundle of months.
So - i'm just trying to guage if anybody would be interested buying it off me when it arrives.

It's not that bad a job to do.
There is more than one way to skin a cat, but my pref is
Downpipe off
Turbo off
Unbolt lower up-pipe bolts.
Remove old and refit new up-pipe
Refit turbo
Refit downpipe
All depends on garage labour rates but at say £20 an hour, it should take a leisurely 3 hours, so only 60 quid.

I better get a quote.
Ive been using Falkland Performance as they replaced my engine when it went.
See what they have to say. See the thing is, if your going to replace the up-pipe, what about getting the headers ported etc and so it goes on - do you know what i mean!!!

You can do the headers in the future after having the up-pipe done if you want.
You don't have to get it all done at the one time.
The exhaust manifold unbolts from the cylinder heads and up-pipe without taking the turbo off.
All you need to do is jack the car up, undo the heatshields on the manifolds, undo the up-pipes bottom bolts and undo and remove the manifolds from their respective heads.
Then it's a case of porting the manifold pipework to suit and refit.
