Infosecdad Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Nope, that’s an aftermarket wide mouth down pipe. OEM doesn’t have a bung for wideband on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 If the car is a 05-06 you should make sure it has a catless up pipe too. If your going to replace the up pipe, replace the oil return hose too. make sure you remove the banjo filter on the back of the passenger side head too. FWIW, I bolt the turbo to the up pipe. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
