I have a 02 WRX, and im wanting to free up the backpreasure and add more HP. now what my plan is is to start off with Borla Headers and a Borla Cat back system, then in a few weeks get an up pipe and down pipe. now the thing I want to know is how hard is it to swap out this stuff up pipe, down pipe. for when I smog the car, or should I pay the extra 100 per pipe and get one with built in cats? I hear the up pipe is a *****. Input?

Nextly Im going to install a blitz Turbo timer, manual boost controler, and mechanical boost gague, and I already have some nice 17" rims with dunlop sport 9000 Tires. after all of this what should I be doing next? input anyone? and im not going to buy a cheasy intake, Im just going to do a K&N drop in with a de-snorkle mod.

Lastly in what order do things need to come apart on my car to install exhaust type mods? EG. Does the headers need to come out for the up pipe? I also heard something about removing the intercooler?

Thanks a ton guys

save your money on the headers, you don't need those now.

Get the up pipe and downpipe 1st. then the catback. you won't need headers until WAY later.

No need for the turbo timer.

A lot of this stuff has been covered before bro, do a search, you'll find A LOT!

 

i agree with Jgrahn555 get up and down pipe then exhaust. but for turbo timer i dont think its a bad idea to have one.

 

yeah turbo timer is one of the first things Im going to buy... I burned threw my stock tires in 9k miles, and 3 sets of pads and 2 rotors in 18k mi :P I drive my scooby hard, and i dont like to wait to spool the engine down, I sold this car january, now I have a Blue one with 12k miles in flawless condition like the day it was new and i picked it up for 17k

 

do u have any suspension mods? if not i will get coilover and swaybars after exhaust
