I just picked up a DP on Sunday and my exhaust should be here tomorrow. I'm trying to source all the misc parts i will need so i can knock this out. Anyone have a local spots that has good prices on the turbo to DP gasket, the studs/bolts and a 2 bolt 3" exhaust gasket to connect the DP to the CBE midpipe?

 

grimmspeed.com for some upgraded thicker than stock gaskets

or

PM Unit91 with what you need. He works at Stevens Creek Subaru and can get you a good deal on OEM parts.

 

second grimspeed. thats what i ended up doing and getting the 2x thicker gaskets. it was impossible to find the 3inch 2 bolt dp to midpipe gasket at all the exhaust shops i went to.

 

Thanks for info.

 

Nice. You got the 2 piece DP you were talking about? Also, what exhaust did you buy?

 

Can't go wrong with either OEM or grimmspeed.

 

Yup i picked it up on Sunday and today my exhaust arrived at work. I'm going to pull the stock CBE and throw on the new CBE so i can see how it sounds with the stock DP and cats then after we get back from the honeymoon I'm going to install the DP. If I had thought ahead, gotten all the gaskets and nuts/bolts studs for the turbo i would do the DP as well. I think the night before we go I'm going to spray the bolts with PB or something similar let em soak try to break em free and soak them some more so when i get back they should come off easier unless i get lucky and they break free with ease.


I purchased the GMS 3in CBE and I had it coated.

 

Wow that looks really good. Can't wait to get a chance to hear it.

 

we stock about 50 of these at a time (we are never out of them)

even 3 bolt Tomei/GT spec ones for headers too.

we have almost every gasket to any of these cars always in stock

Started to put it on tonight and I used the long hangers and it was a real tight fit because it is pushing the pipe to low and tilting the midpipe to dp flange. Then I find out the bolts i have wont mate the cbe to the stock DP flange so i had to run to Home Depot to pick up hardware, i also picked up some longer bolts for the mid pipe to Perrin DP as well.For the p. Going to try the stock hangers in a couple of spots and the new hardware. Going to see how it sounds with stock DP and then do the perrin after the Honeymoon.

Test fit with long hanger.



looks like short hangers will be the better choice.

 

I'll be wrenching on the car tonight after work. Looking forward to hearing it and taking the car for a drive.

 

Got it installed and it sounds really good, nice rumble not loud. Looks really clean. Xl hangers seem to long, stocks work but I think a size that's a little longer than stock would be better.

 

Sweet, got mine installed too!

what kind of exhaust did you install?
