NWSPECB Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Search around. Grimmspeed seem's to be a common one that comes to mind at the moment. Or an STI UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brprs Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Invidia ftw..sti ups and some others do not have an egt and you will need to have that turned off or you can put a 22k ohm resistor in the plug ins place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 easy. just make sure you buy the gaskets for all the pipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doccrowley Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I like the fitment of my coated Grimmspeed UP w/ flex section better than the STi UP, COBB UP, much better than the generic ebay UP that was a very, very poor copy of the Grimmspeed UP. The flex section eventually gave up on my first Grimmspeed UP (I purchased used the first time). I went through all the others and went back to a new, coated Grimmspeed UP and am very happy. All the other UP's leaked or didn't seal properly for me. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2006legacygt Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Guys- this seems like a pain to worry about replacing my up pipe now. Can I run my stock up pipe on my 06 lgt manual with a Cobb dp, running ap stg 2 with a stock air box? Is an up pipe change required to run this set up? Trying to decide if its worth the extra time, money...but trying to also evaluate my risk running with the stock up pipe as well. Help?! Thanks.

doccrowley Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 If your budget allows to purchase the UP, with all the other goodies you listed, do it! Labor to install an UP requires removal of the DP. So you'll save on the install labor if you do both at once. Turbo will spool faster if you ditch the stock UP, upgrade to go with the other things you listed. Yes you can go without (with one worry that the CAT in the stock UP is a possible issue to fail with age and take out your turbo). Hope that helps.

iNVAR Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Replace the UP. You'd be a fool to replace the DP and not do the UP while you're in there. Get a used STI UP and swap it in. Make sure you have your car tuned, you'll be stage 2 now. Do NOT get on the throttle hard until you tune it! The tune will take care of any CEL that may be thrown due to lack of the EGT sensor.

adosdrummer Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I liked the grimspeed.. came with good gaskets, and a good part. I did have to port it some to match to the perrin header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.C.D. Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I liked the grimspeed.. came with good gaskets, and a good part. I did have to port it some to match to the perrin header. Grimm doesn't come with gaskets. You have to buy separately. Add another grim speed UP owner. Best pipe on the market IMO. Get all new gaskets and have at it. My only recommendation is do yourself a favor and loosen your passenger side motor mount and raise the engine enough to clear the stock UP. All the damn heat shields make it a bear to get out. And for the love of Pete don't pay someone to do it. It is two pipes with some gaskets. Remove 20 bolts and swap away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Grimm doesn't come with gaskets. You have to buy separately. I believe with the UP revision (change in flanges etc.) they actually do come with the gaskets now. My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!

.Catalyst. Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I had to get them separately too (but mine was the revision with the updated flex section). I was just admiring the latest revision with sexy flanges not long ago and noticed the new pricing and the gaskets being included. I peruse their site regularly hoping to see an update that the DP for our fitment will be available My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!
