WaspGT Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I just purchased this Stainless flexpiped Grimmspeed Up Pipe from EBay. Has anyone used this before. The quality seems fair, theres a year warranty and it came with all new gaskets and hardware for the install, as well as two capped ports for either an o2 or external wastegate and dump pipe. Specifications: 2" (51mm) Piping 1-7/8" (48mm) Inside Diameter 3/8" (9.5mm) Thick Flanges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrw Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I was going to say that does not look like a grimmspeed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapSlo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 What does the inside of that flex look like? Cheap ones get pretty narrow inside, choking flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 It's not so much the cheap flex as it is the 2.5"+ diameter. My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korpsepatrol Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Just an fyi, Ebay Up pipes also have a tendency to have warped flanges that don't seal properly on the manifold and turbo's. Even worse is if they do mate up and have cheap welds which snap under load. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Trendz Inc. Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Did they actually say it was a grimmspeed up on the listing??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 This looks remarkably similar: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IMPREZA-WRX-STI-GD-STAINLESS-5-BOLT-FLEX-UP-PIPE-UPPIPE-/110768842220?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19ca5665ec&vxp=mtr Definitely not a GS product. And that is not a EWG port. EGT and O2 at most. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaspGT Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Holy shit, i look away for a day and... voila! I might have bought the wrong one, maybe? I was sure i got the Grimmspeed UP, but now looking back thats not the right one, i was half in the bag... oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is not a EWG port. EGT and O2 at most. That looks nothing like it, and the one i purchased was supposed to be $159.99, i paid $85.99, not $50:lol: I said WG because there are several that include a kit that comes with both. Not to mention the pics show the pieces coming out of those ports. My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeytl Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 If you paid for it...just try it out. Might make a little difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 If you paid for it...just try it out. Might make a little difference. But it might not be worth the time if he has to replace it because it fails. I would just sell it to someone willing to take the risk and put the money towards an sti uppipe.
