HKS normally makes good turbo upgrades, but their Subaru parts suck ***. Worst downpipe on the market.

 

a down pipe is a down pipe... it was made for budget spenders, hence the cheap price and most likely cheap materials used to construct it. A turbo is a different story, i wouldnt jump to conclusions w/o someones first hand opinion on it ..

 

You obviously haven't taken a good look at HKS' downpipe compared to a quality one. HKS made theirs strictly on cost of production with absolutely no attention to results. It's hands-down the WORST downpipe on the market for Subarus.

 

lol, i was in no way trying to back up there dp, i agree with you, i was just saying that i bet more research and development went into there turbo system vs. there cheap low budget downpipe thats all

 

Possibly, but don't you think their turbokit would include their own downpipe?

 

well HKS makes two different downpipes. the one that comes with their turbo kit is bellmouth, the one they sell seperately is for budget and is a piece. and i have it in my car =[.

 

what about their top mount intercoolers (HKS GT) any info?

 

sorry, i've only seen the HKS turbo kit on my friend's car once. he moved back to taiwan for a bit, i'm not sure when he'll be back. but he had a spec-c motor, edm sti tranny, and his setup has been changing every once in a while. last i saw, it had the hks turbo kit on it. sorry i can't provide more info since i don't know.

 

does your friend drive a red rex and have ce28's on it in black

 

no his car is white.
