Not really but it's cheap and probably better then stock.

From what I found when I was researching the same topic is, a lot of people will tout the bellmouth/divorced pipes because they are best if you're looking to really get serious about hp (i.e., 400-ish). Hard to argue with that as they are so much more free flowing. However, a lot of people seem to believe that if your goals are more modest (AccesECU 2, 300-ish hp territory, and who wouldn't just love a WRX pushing that?), the HKS would probably deliver just fine.

I have found that PDE makes a wicked good downpipe. Thats for my application though. I don't have any clue on how much horse power it can hold. Good Luck.

I have the TurboXS catless downpipe. The flow is great, but the DP extends a bit lower than the stock unit, so you have to watch out for rocks, etc, with it on the car.
