I'm going three inches baby....oh yeah, right into a sti exhaust :twisted:


does anyone run this setup?, and if so, did you keep your resonator, is their a need for it? how much louder is it without the resonator?.

This should be fun :P

What is this going on, though? 3 inches on an NA would really fuck with your performance.. It'd be loud, and not-so-fast. Might as well just push gas out your tailpipe. NAs DO require a certain amount of backpressure to flow properly, and give the right performance.

Uh, I think he has an EJ20T swap Tristan. ;)

That looks like a nice DP. Does it have a wastegate divider welded on or anything? Before you put it in you should get it coated with Hypercoating or some other type of ceramic. You'll be glad you did. :D

It helps keep the exhaust temps hot, to keep exit velocity up and it also helps under hood temps, less heat soak.

It's worth it. :)

So I got the everything installed today, total cost
Downpipe $120
Highflow 3' Magnaflow Cat $40 off ebay
3' No name turbo exhaust $60
Instalation 400 taxes in.

Total ok well it about $550 all said and done, I have a 3" all the way back(desided not to go with the stock exhaust since so many people said it was not a good idea)
Impressions.
HOLY S#&T, wow does it pull, the butt dyno tells me it is way quicker, spool up is about 2700 with a manual boost controller.
And the sound, Oh baby, I think i'm going to go start it just to hear it growl, not loud, just a nice rumble :)
All said and done, I'm very happy. Pm me if you want any additional info.

Where'd you get the downpipe? That's a pretty good price.

I bought it used off a guy from ottawa, who had it on his wrx, I just reset the comp overnight and what a difference, this car hauls, best mod, as in bang for buck, the car is noticably faster, even my girlfreind said "did you give this thing a tune up, its going really fast today" and she's not a car nut. :)

Stromung makes nice stuff. I bought the same Down-pipe and their cat, and cat back exhaust. All three inch. THe DP has ceramic coating and the rest of it is getting it before it goes in.

Hmmm, I'm a bit stuck with this one, my mike phone can record sound bites, but my digi cam cannot, neither my laptop, let me see what I can do and I'll get back to you. I'll do pictures on the weekend when I get back to the digi.

Yes $550 Canadian or $447 US.
The flanges were also done, I'll post some pics on Saturday. Anyone know how to link photos, I've tried the [img]web%20address[/img]
but I'm not sure if Yahoo phots will work, any suggestions?
