Hi guys...

re item...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Impreza-Tu...item4155620eb1

Anyone know if this is the gasket that fits on the bottom of the cat downpipe, that then connects to my miltek centre piece...?

Need to get one before thirsday morning, cos the car is going back to the exhaust fabricators....

Cheers.

It is mate, but for some reason they have fitted a std 3" flange to the turbo end, a smaller 2.5" flange to the rear end, so in order to match the two 3" pipes up (miltek middle and my end can) i have got to get the flange cut off the miltek and a 3" one welded on, @ a cost of about £100, nice


as me dear old nan used to say, "You cant take it with you" Hum.. it would be nice to have some while i was Bl***y here though!!!!!!

If the downpipe and the centre section both have 3 inch flanges where they meet then you will need a 3 inch gasket.

Something like this:

Today i replaced my seats (again) the new ones hold me in really tight, finally got everything on the interior put back together so thats it. interior is all done. Nothing lef for the time being.

Now all i'm waiting for is my brake discs to comeback, MOT, alignment and a new alarm then i'm ready to go.

I also gave it a good wash, i had forgotten how good the old man looked. God i miss driving the car.

He knows his stuff when it comes to response, so I would be inclined to listen to his opinion on your mods.
Do you have any details for this guy? I'm looking to port my new turbo and i need custom downpipes for the Legacy.

If one of those was a white V3 STi then it was mine.

I was there all weekend on the Rescue unit.

Hence the name.
