also, why do you want a DP with an exhaust dump? it really isn't necessary, especially on a small engine like the WRX motor....your car isnt a drag racer w/1000+ HP.....you dont need an exhaust dump IMO. Besides save yourself a crapload of money and instead of paying $600 for a DP, spend $250-300 on a Helix DP. They are much better IMO.

also as Daredevil says, an UP pipe with a flex section will give you a better seal and prevent Up pipe leaks much better than a solid one.

I think his intent is to get that downpipe and not spend money on a conventional dp + cat back exhaust system.
