Tris Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Nice. Just found the other thread on here about this pipe, which gave me the PN. I'll be dropping by the dealer to grab one and the two elbows. Can someone provide the part number for this I'm doing a timing belt soon & want to replace this pipe but cant find the P/N. Thanks Coco there's a search function that could use to find this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc6 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Mine looks decent but the rest of the car is shat. It's funny on the 6 cyls the pipe is kinda hidden and away from the exhaust since it's N/A. I'll order one and enamel it as well. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyF Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 noob label riding you hard, eh? I probably shoulda said something a bit more useful like my elbows outlasted the pipe, replaced them anyway, no more leaky, no more ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 SO, back to inspecting and comparing our pipes... Mine was relatively clean, only slightly rusty. Wiped it off and shoved it back in. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m159/Scruit/A015BFD9-419D-4292-B403-9299F845110C.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grovlet Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I changed mine out in Oct - it was not as bad as some, but glad I did for piece of mind... It had quite a bit of surface rust - but was flaking off in layers - although only the top layer was really bad. Since CT uses the spray on de-icer in the winter - I bet it would have only lasted another few years... Why are these not plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted December 31, 2015 I Donated Too Share Posted December 31, 2015 Why are these not plastic? maybe because of the location being near the exhaust which while some plastics resist heat well they get very brittle. I would have thought a rubber hose similar to the one on the turbo with a foreskin of tin foil would have worked okay but again, time and lots of heat will degrade it faster than rusting on a metal pipe. That and the overall cost to produce a part and thus we have the answer why it's metal. I have replaced one on one of my GT's and the other was not that bad so I sanded it and painted it. Can't do that with plastic or rubber, can only replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
