OEM Up pipe with EGT sensor


Recommended Posts

I have been searching but could not find the answer that I need, I want to change out my uppipe, I have a 05 STI up pipe, but for visual reasons I would like to have a OEM with the EGT sensor hooked up.

 

Is there a year STI/Legacy that have this?

the oem one has is catted....i read when i joined here that cat breaks apart and gets sucked into the turbo, cat-less upppipe is way safer/better....sti is cat-less, just leave that in there....

 

as far as the egt sensor goes, there is a sticky about the egt resistor mod that allows you to trick the signal witha radio shack resistor.

 

05-07 legacies have the cat with the uppipe...

Maybe its just me, but your question is unclear. Why, visually, would you go with a different UP than the OEM STI UP that you already have? You don't need the EGT anyway- it could take out your turbo, too..

 

If you're going catless UP, you might as well delete the EGT probe and do the resistor mod.

Radio Shack sells a 5 pack of the 2.2k ohm resistor. Just ask the guy at the conter, they are $1.25.

 

Stick one in the connector where the egt probe comes out of.

 

Take the up pipe to NAPA and find a bolt that will plug the hole where the probe went.

 

Or get a custom tune that deletes the CEL for no egt.

 

You don't want the car on the stock map any way's, it has a timing flaw can cause burnt valves.

My engine was replaced by SOA, the Cobb Stage 1 map that was on it, and is still there.

 

I would like To keep the visual the same in case I have to bring it back, Not seeing the EGT wire hooked up, they may turn around and say ,BLAH, BLAH,BLAH,

 

I know all about the the resistor mod, or using the AP to clear the code
