Is it a good move putting a down pipe on my uk sti.

What are the plus and minus sides of doing this.

Plus- is full boost by 3200rpm, instead of 4000rpm, and much quicker spool up.

Minus- er... can't think of one

Pete, better warn him of the 1.7bar spiking. Fix is a larger restrictor mate.

As well as the boost spikes, another minus is that it could trash your warranty.

No Boost spikes as it comes with the restrictor.
