Hey everyone! I have an 05 sti and i thought this would be the best place to get information about it. I've had it for about 7 months now and i have cobb accessport, Greddy cat back 3" exhaust, and K&N drop in air filter, and thats it! and my boss keeps gettin on my *** about getting a downpipe and uppipe! lol (he's had 2 sti) So i've been doing some research and there are so many options! and what the hell is equal lenth headers? and should i go unmarried for the downpipe? So what does everybody recommend to me!?

THX -CAM-

 

sorry nasioc is better for info i just come here to chat

 

my personal setup is Tomei EL headers w/ Uppipe and Titek catted DP & Cobb exhaust w/ 3" mod.

I love it, response is excellent. and, i'm one of the 'accursed' that doesn't mind going without the subie rumble.

brief tips:

• Remember there are two styles of flanges for the DP/exhaust junction. One has a donut gasket, the other is a flat flange
• The donut gasket causes a "neckdown" to 2.5", which some feel is a restriction
• EL headers lose the rumble, but I feel is more efficient. non-EL headers have a quicker throttle response and keep the subie rumble

 

oh yeah and talk to your tuner he will save you money in the long run

i just moved to chico tho... and my tuner is in roseville (dbtuned). and i work everyday and have no time to go down there. but when i get headers downpipe, uppipe im going back down for install/retune. and doing my research now... ; )

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^CALL PAUL!!!!! im pretty sure he can set you straight. Or you can watch his DIY video on youtube to install your own headers,DP,UP. I have heard invidia makes a quality catless DP but yea call Paul see what he likes to work with.
