Do the hogzaust mod. All you do is unbolt the mufflers at the flange to the y-pipe, remove the gaskets, put two washers on each bolt and bolt it back together.

 

I just did this to mine last weekend. I hate the thought of it, but love the sound. Doesn't sound as nice as an aftermarket exhaust, but for $2 instead of $750, it's great until I want to spend the money for a catback.

Quick, that was before the vf52 and 21psi. It's much more fun now.

 

But thanks.

 

 

Here's the Spec with stock exhaust, less mufflers.

Debating on whether to go completely catless. I have the catless downpipe but was wondering about the uppipe.

What are the pros and cons of going catless?

Would a stock uppipe gutted be a reliable alternative?

If so, how much should I pay for one (one for sale in my WTB thread)?

 

Thanks!

If you don't want to go completely catless, you should keep one in the downpipe and lose the uppipe cat. There have been cases where pieces of the cat in the stock uppipe have broken off and gone through the turbo. I don't think this is extremely likely on a stock car unless you have a lot of miles, but if you are going stage 2, you definitely don't want to have that cat before the turbo. Boost should also come on at lower RPMs with a catless uppipe.

 

You could gut the stock uppipe, but it's really not worth it when you can buy a used sti uppipe for under $100.

When I pulled mine you could hear the cat rattling when you shake it. This had maybe 111k on it, with maybe 5k with a reflash rest stock.

I have heard that the sti uppipe lines up ALMOST perfectly. like a pube hair difference which caused leaks.

Can anybody testify to this?

I might look into this actually. However, I already bought a CNT downpipe and its being shipped here as we speak. But a couple questions.

 

1. Will they charge me for him to put on the downpipe?

2. Im looking for just a street tune because I dont have $500 for a dyno tune. So does he just do street tunes, and how much does it cost?

 

WILL

 

THEY

 

CHARGE

 

ME???

It should fit perfectly. It also does have a flex section in it so that will allow for a tiny bit of adjustment.

It will work.

 

I chose to go with a Invidia catless up/dp from my Tuner. I like to support he people that are going to help me out.

 

Sometimes being cheap, cost you more in the long run.
