Default Downpipe/front section question

Nosing around the net for a 2.5" decat downpipe and decat front section for my 06 2.5 WRX.

Do the blobeye and hawkeye share the same fitting pipes? ie: a lot of downpipes are just listed as 'newage' and I wonder if they'll fit my hawkeye.

I will probably buy an afterburner downpipe and front section, but just thought I would look for alternatives, any suggestions/advice?

Thank you

Jack

i'm also in the same boat , i've heard the 2006/2007 hawkeye model have slightly different downpipes (longer) so extra attachment is required .

Kully add some pics of your Hawkeye to your garage, I can't see yours properly in your profile pic, I love Hawkeyes and black ones are rare! :-)

Thanks

Yeah I have an afterburner backbox and centre already, so just need the front 2. I'm gonna go full decat. What area are you in? Done any other mods to your hawkeye yet? Mine's box standard apart from the exhaust and mudflaps.

the hawkeyes dont have a cat in the up pipe,u dont need to change the injectors as the hawkeyes already have the sti injectors fitted as standard,
the downpipe is longer than bug/blob so there downpipes wont fit,

i have an 06 and there are only 2 cats in the exhaust, both in the centre sections, but mine is a sport so it may be different.
