The bellmouth's not as "deep" as an invidia or a helix one. Looked like someone banged at the bellmouth to get it's shap. lol There is a write up on Nasioc about it. Do a search on ERZ downpipe I ran one for a bit before switching over to the perin one. I'd rather save some more cash and get a helix or a used invidia, perrin or another brand name.

Come to think of it, I sold my perin dp for about 130 bucks.
haha yea so keep your eye peeled for deals. There is always someone that has a dp for sale.

Good luck

I purchased this off of ebay (I believe for 10 bucks cheaper, and still brand new)and installed it the end of last year and I like it. Granted, it's not as bling bling as an Invidia or some other big brand, but at the same time your not paying bling bling, either. I believe it's pretty good bang for the buck. My only gripe would be the fitment quality. They could've done better with the bending when they manufactured it, so I had to modify my mounting bracket, nothing major. I know another guy who had the same problem with this product but was able to work around it.

thanx for the info, but i just went to a evo vs. wrx war at raceway park in new jersey (amazing by the way). and picked up a brand new invidia downpipe from a vendor for an amazing $175!!!!! just waiting on gaskets i cant wait to get this baby in. just so u know buying parts at shows is the way to go because shops/vendors give out better prices to advertise their buisness. my buddy got a xx tuning header and uppipe for only 400!

next on the list is the almighty accessport
