STi & Turbo Legacy Up-pipes are identical

Post by **Legacy777** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 7:01 pm

I did a little searching, and found a comment, but nothing definitive.

The two up-pipes are identical. I measured the ID of the piping at both the inlet & outlet. They're the same. I'll have to double check, but I'm pretty sure the ID is 1-5/8".

The only differences is that the STi up-pipe metal shielding has "Subaru" stamped in it. Other then that, they're identical.

They are defiantly the same, im currently using a v.2 up-pipe which came on my 16g since the OEM heatshields were rattling like mad.

They are the same. The heat shielding is welded on slightly differently.

In fact, the word is once the existing stock of Turbo Legacy up-pipes run out it will be superceded by the STi part number.

That means our up-pipe is just as good as the STi ones and an upgrade won't be necessary?

Doh!

And all of those loyal owners who purchased someone's STi take-off U/P because the STi owner went aftermarket essentially wasted what ever cash they paid for the stock STi pipe... Sad really. Glad I found out ahead of time before I made the same mistake.

There is a benefit to the STi up-pipe.....it's not 10+ years old. The studs are less likely to be messed up, or stuck, not to mention rust, rattles, etc.

That was my main reasoning for going with the STi up-pipe....that and I got one locally.
