Bigkahuna808 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I need to buy a DP before my protune at the end of the month. Just wondering what brand or pipes you guys recomend. Im thinking of going cat less,will this make my car very loud? If Im doing a AP2 protune I dont have to worry about CEL right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltForge Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Cobb catless, makes NO difference in exhaust note, but, I did notice that I could hear the turbo spool better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigkahuna808 Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Thanks for the input. Im geting that protune, but if I can get more stuff under the hood before the tune the better. Is it okay to run the DP without up pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderman71 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Cobb catless, makes NO difference in exhaust note, but, I did notice that I could hear the turbo spool better. Just got Cobb UP and DP installed yesterday. I noticed the same too. The DP for the auto seemed to be a little more expensive than for the manual tranny. No CEL but had only driven it for 20miles so far. I have a 60 mile round trip commute tomorrow. Man, nice acceleration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigkahuna808 Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 one local shop wants $350 to do my up/ downpipes. How much is a reasoanble amount/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo2nr Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 It could take anywhere from 1 1/2hrs-4hrs. Depends on skill of mechanic, experience with subys, and the main thing.....those little Japanese must have serious strong forearm muscles, because I ALWAYS find an over-tightened bolt, or cross threaded bolt. Time for chisel, or brute force, blood, and four letter words. Those strong exhaust bolts around the turbo are a PITA sometimes. The older the car, the worse it gets! $75/hr x 4hrs. = $300. A shop may also charge you for an oil change, and a little coolant fluid charge. I could see a shop charging $350. Totally! (never actually had experience paying for that, but if I did....) I'd do it in my driveway for half of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wukindada Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 You also have to remember where you are...... Def. no install deals to be found I'm sure. Do it yourself it's not that tough of a job. Use the 350 you save on tools & a good jack with a set of stands;) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nperkins Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Are Legacy Downpipes different from WRX/STi downpipes? I am debating trading in my STi for a 5eat LGT wagon, and i Have my Bosal Divorced Shorty Downpipe from my STi that I would want to put on, and I'm wondering if it would fit... Also wondering if my GTSpec Gen2 Header & UpPipe will fit as well... Anybody know on that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
