I really hope you didn't get this downpipe.

It's the second one down. I only say that because it's got a plate that blocks off the wastegate gasses. The gasses run right into a plate instead of being smoothly redirected towards the exhaust exit. Just trying to look after you in this forced induction world

Actually, the Perrin one above the HKS one is really nice. One of my fellow Legacy buddies picked that up for his Legacy Turbo project.

I'll cancel my order for the HKS D/p today, I was trying to keep the car uniform, ans I get HKS stuff cheap. Would you say that the up and t-back system would be ok with the substitution of the perrin D/p? I like that quote " reduces turbulence in the exiting gasses, makes sence.
I have seen another set up that had that side pipe go completely separate all the way down past the 02 inlet flange. The Perrin seems $$$ but you get what you pay for?

The Perrin DP is one of the best designs I've seen. Most good Downpipes are in the ~$350 range. The HKS uppipe looks fine. The uppipe design is pretty hard to screw up as all they do is remove the pre-turbo cat.

b- I got her back today, you will be pleased with the results. turbo timer will be wired sat. bov and aem are on, stereo is amazing. Also I put a 03 s2000 dead petal on my car and it is a perfect match to the stock petals, the stock dead petal was a black plastic p.o.s. this looks killer.

new pics of new mods. Check out the dead petal, bad ***, the stereo is way too heavy, but will stay in for long trips and daily it can be put in or taken out with about 10 screws from the box.
