im thinking quick fit am not bothered about the price lol

 

i was gunna get a local garage to do it but im thinking i get more enjoment doing it my self

 

Its an easy job, 2hrs if your doing it on your back, with a brew or 2.

 

hardest job is jacking up the car lol easy if your capable of routine maintainance etc

 

Xhaust system is a pretty straight forward job mate providing you have the correct tools, ie jack, axle stands, spanners, rachets etc right if you have the above you may also require some new nuts and bolts as the old ones maybe corroded so there worth maybe purchasing before hand, when you get to the turbo it's slightly fiddly tbh but not too bad, as fir the up pipe if I were you I would leave well skins there on there solid lol, if your still wanting to fit a upipe then I would advise taking the car to the garage as the two I have removed the engine has been out of the car and even then there a pisn un the backside mate good luck.

 

i suppose when the intercooler is off.. its the up pipe i cant make sense off at the min

 

i done my exhaust myself the only problem i had was the bloody turbo sheild......cut it off in the end......the rest was easy,a set of ramps needed.good luck

 

downpipe is from the outlet of the turbo to the exhaust system.

upipe bolts to the headers and turbo flange underneath.

 

what bolts are required any link

 

up pipe is before the turbo mate! comes from the headers upto the blower then you get turbo back which most sytems are

 

i dont mind thee grinder .. i can see on that link the basics its just up pipe i cant get the jist off all have a go tomo me thinks

WRX Subaru Impreza Turbo De Cat Up Pipe 92-01 STI RA P1 on eBay (end time 03-Feb-10 21:48:52 GMT) this mate and the rest got the full thing did not go for the japspeed in the end

 

got it done at the weekend was not that hard apart from the heat sheild being a total tw**t last bolt would not come out so mr crow bar came out,, sounds awesome now.. the turbo sound is more heard spooling up is that normal now the full system is fitted?? were the hell is the up pipe??? could not see it never got chance to change it... and last how much bhp have i gained? regards dave

 

If you want to change the up pipe you need to take the down pipe back off to get to the top nuts.
The up pipe follows on from the exhaust manifolds, up the drivers side of the engine and bolts to the bottom of the turbo.

 

thanks fella.. any bhp gains with a full system ?
