Can you give me the 411 on the Vishnu Flex Up-pipe please? I want a cat-less up-pipe, and i really like the ones that have the flex joint, mostly because it seems more practical in the long run. Please give me some info on this. And is there anywhere else where i can find the Vishnu uppipe other than vishnutuning.com ?? Or is there a better flex up-pipe i should look into? Thanks guys...

 

Yeah but without a egt sensor bung........! CEL=PET PEEVE

 

I don't mean to flame but that isn't safe for most people, the FECU does use that sensor and it could possibly cause the car to not notice it is about to have a major failure or detonation.
If you have all the required aftermarket gauges and know how to interpret the info displayed, then you might not need the fail safes the factory ECU and it's intact sensors provide. Thats a step some people don't or shouldn't make, the decision to bypass factory engine monitoring.

If you have that 2.2k Ohm resistor fix and you lose an injector, your engine won't know and won't care, you had better be watching your gauges.

The flex one is nice, I'd get that over a non-flex.

 

I am in the same boat. I too want a flex uppipe.

I have narrowed it down to vishnu and APS.

I am reading the "other" Suby site and there is a thread about the quality of the APS unit.

Any input on this piece?

 

You DO NOT want an APS uppipe. Mine is a fat pile of crap. I so wish I had ordered a non-flex Vishnu.

In the first and third picture the right stud hole (on the flange that connects to the flex section) looks dangerously close to the edge.

The second picture shows the lack of alignment between the gasket and said flange.
