I second PDE's uppipes, although there are better downpipes for the same cost or less.

Check out this months issue of Turbo Magazine. They have a head to head shoot out with exhausts for the wrx. It will give you a better idea of what you might want to do.

I think you mean a few months ago... But you can also go to the website to read about it.

Also uppipe and downpipes are two totally different things from a catback exhaust shootout dont you think?

yea there was a turbo back exhaust shootout in turbo. The hks got really low numbers because of their downpipe. It is complete crap if you want to do any modding. Its practically a stock size pipe w/o the cat. Go with some other downpipe than it, go with the pde uppipe though.

Last time I installed a turbo back exhaust it included a downpipe. If you'll pay more attention to my post you'll notice I wrote turbo-back, not cat back, and like joshface15 said, it was in April's issue. Try to pay attention before you go ragging on someones post.
