if your talking about classics then the downpie on the wrx is exactly the same as the uk one appart from the extra threaded hole for the heat sensor on the WRX.

HKS exhaust may have a 3inch flat flange?

nope you will need a extra pipe that sits between the downpipe and centre section

the hks is 3 inch but will fit a 2 1\2 no probs

I have a classic down pipe on my new age ( well its the tsl sports cat that will fit both ) that gets round this problem
