DelawareLGT Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Just checking out Ebay Looks like you can get a new STI uppipe for about 80 bucks with shipping. Am I missing something-it seems like used ones go for more than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEBRAVO Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 OEM sti uppipe goes for about 350.00. The Bosal clone is 169-199 new. Used 100-125. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something-it seems like used ones go for more than that? PM Patagonian GT. He's selling his. Or rather, will be VERY shortly. I will also be posting a Crucial coated UP for sale tomorrow. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 i thought the lgt has a catless up-pipe or did i miss something? The '05 has a very restrictive cat in it, which there are two or three cases of it breaking loose and taking out the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxx Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 what about the 06? catted as well. 06 WRX uppipe is catless & a direct replacement for the LGT catted UP. "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!

VTGT Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Yeah I've been looking on ebay also. Are there any con's to going to an aftermarket UP vs the sti. I know a pro for the sti up is better fitment but besides that are there more gains with an aftermarket one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEBRAVO Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Bosal makes the uppipes for Subaru, they also sell aftermarket sti uppipes from 169.00, 200.00 less then OEM, the only thing different from stock is that it doest say subaru on it . You have to remember that even with an STI uppipe swap you still have to use a resistor fix because the STI pipe doesn't have a sensor bung. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go.

mcsquish Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Sorry cox, but I can be a bit slow (even on a Monday). The '06 WRX UP is a direct swap on the '05 LGT? Do you know if it would be as good as the Bosal or STI? Last question, what about the sensor bung? I'm starting to look at replacing the up and dp, so I'm trying to figure out what to get. Thanks for any information. ________ CROSMAN AIRSOFT AIR MAGAZINE POWERED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if it would be as good as the Bosal or STI? Last question, what about the sensor bung? I'm starting to look at replacing the up and dp, so I'm trying to figure out what to get. Thanks for any information. Tons of up pipe choices....Crucial Racing, Turbo XS, Perrin, Cobb...coated, non coated, flex, non flex...bungs no bungs. The "bung" is a area in your stock up pipe for a sensor that monitors the cat. If the cat gets to a certain temp which could make it break up sending it into the turbo destroying. If you get an aftermarket UP pipe...there is no cat, so the sensor is useless as it has no cat to monitor. In order to not get a CEL you connect a resitor to the sensor and combined with the use of ECU mapping the computer will never know, thus no CEL's. I'm sure someone else can explain this a lot better...but you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEBRAVO Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Han's said it, however, you do not need an ECU map or AP if you use the resistor fix. In addition, please correct me if I am wrong, but, if you do decide to use an aftermarket pipe with the bung, then you will need an AP to remove the cel. If the sensor bung in used without a catted uppipe the the car will throw a cel because the pipe is running cooler then designed. That not a bad thing in terms of performance but a hassle if you dont have an AP because it confuses the ECU. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go.

And I have been on some sites for my RC racing that were complete A-holes. Thanks for helping a noob. ________ BRUNETTE TUBES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxx Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yup. AP= no resistor needed. resistor is needed even with the AP. No reason to put the egt back in. Just plug the hole or get one without the hole (like the STI UP) "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!
