Question ERZ Performance products

I am looking at getting a ERZ downpipe and 3'' catback exhaust for my wrx, but i want to know if anyone on here already has ERZ stuff and have and feedback on their products positive or negative.
The site seems pretty legit, but they are not as common as GReddy or anything.
If anyone has feedback on their products, or something in the same price range that would be better, please let me know. their website is just http://www.eracingzone.com/erzperformance.html

thanks-

beck

Mabeck-scooby,

In my honest opinion, you should really stick to the venders that are advertised on this site. If you your looking for someone near you, give DB TUNED a call. Other than that, to answer your question about ERZ, no to many people are buying from them. If they do, they end up being for sale on craigslist. Give GST Motorsports a call. They'll be glad to help you out too. . .

I highly suggest you just buy a used helix/perrin dp. . .there is a lot being sold out there for cheap. . .how much of a budget are you planning on spending?

I have an ERZ DP to a Hush. The DP bolted right up. I love it, very good quility. I don't think a piece of pipe needs to be expensive.

well i did not have an exact price range, i would like to stay 600-700 max for the dp/catback, because im savin up for a stage 1 or two from vishnu. im not positive on vishnu, but i need to save up regardless for something like that. i already have a spt short ram air intake that i got from the dealership, and im thinkin exhaust and dp for the next upgrade to get a bit of power and nice sound, and i saw that ERZ was cheap, and looked legit, but i wanted to get some intel on it before i bought anything.
is there anything wrong with erz, or just that other stuff is more expensive. i can see that there might be a lot of other brands, but then it comes to piping, does another 300 dollars on a different brand make a difference?

I spent $540 for a brand new hush I go the ERZ $90 used and a stage II open source (Cobb base map enginuity tune $100) If you do the research it can be with really good quality parts at an affordable price. Good luck

I've had an ERZ uppipe in my 04 WRX for almost 2.5 years. mileage I've put on this piece : over 52,000 miles.

I recently changed out my turbo since the internal oil seal gave out(smoking out the tail pipe), and had a chance to check out the uppipe after all of the wear and tear. It looked fine, mesh was still good on the flex joint, and the spring inside is still rigid.

I don't think you can go wrong with the ERZ upipe/downpipes, though you don't need the upipe since you have a MY06+.

The one thing I will suggest is that you do not use the crappy gaskets that come with their pipes. The one on mine looked terrible after 52K miles. Get the OEM gaskets, and you'll be set.


oh, and as far as fitment goes on the downpipes do a search on nasioc.com to see if anyone has had issues. The Titek, and V3 Helix downpipes have a bad problem where turning under load, or highway driving causes the downpipe to rattle against the cross-member. From recent searching on nasioc, no such complaints.
