twisted Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 so my slightly used lachute DP should be here sometime soon...now i'm wondering which UP to go with for my 5EAT LGT i think the PDE was the purrfect one but of course they disappeared from the face of the planet. My questions are : -What are benefits of UP being coated versus non-coated ? -Is that lower stock heatshield a must have since some UP dont allow the lower heatshield to be reconnected. Finally Please vote to help me decide. Thx all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Of the aforementioned choices, if price is no object, I'd get the Cobb Inconel uppipe, but it is definately expensive. If price is an object, I happen to know of a very nice sub $100 uppipe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagcars26 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 STi not on the list?? Works fr me and no rattles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDC Joe Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I voted cobb but I would put Invidia up there. One of the nicest UPs out there PM Me for all your Modification Needs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradlgt21 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I voted Flow just because I think you can get a good deal on it from PLtek and they are from the same factory as the lachute uppipes. So pretty much the same thing without the name or $$. second pick would be cobb because it should fit like a glove. Unlike a Perrin. damn perrin fitment!!!

Legasee Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I voted cobb but I would put Invidia up there. One of the nicest UPs out there never tried Invidia UP, but their dp is very nice!...how much for the Invidia UP? In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansGT Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I like the idea of a gutted stocker to keep the heat sheilds and stock look. Your going to get 95% the performance of an aftermarket. Crucial also has the heat coating unlike most others. Look for a revised design in the next month or so. I like the idea some kind of heat protection. You could wrap the other designs, but you do risk getting water in the wrap and it "could" lead to rusting. You could also do an STI OEM Up pipe. It has heat sheilds, but they are said to rattle after a while. Out of your list....Cobb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProConcept Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 My FLOW uppipe fit perfectly and has awesome build quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM-STI Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 i think the PDE was the purrfect one but of course they disappeared from the face of the planet. I just installed the PDE flex UP. You can get them all day long from www.PDE-USA.com . That is what gets my vote. Excellent build quality and comes already coated. 05 STI CGM~520whp/463wtq...more to come! 08 STI Aspen White/Gold BBS~305whp/365wtq:D Both tuned by Scott Siegel!

lucas569 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I voted cobb but I would put Invidia up there. One of the nicest UPs out there i just looked it up, really low price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 i just looked it up, really low price! +1, ya they do have a great price for that..hmm...so many choices:icon_bigg In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Why is the invidia pipe so good, yet so cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Invidia pieces have always been competitive in price...I had their catless dp on my 04 WRX and it worked fine and looked great (great welds and high polished SS, plus I paid less than $300)....many people used it on WRX's. Their up pipe, I've never used, but I wouldn't hesistate to try...but my top choices at this time are Crucial, PDE, COBB ($$), and I'm really considering the Invidia too In Taiwan now...
