WRX Exhausts??

[docile]

Ok wrong forum and all that stuff, however i thought some of you guys may know (IMMACUL8, Paul, GTRKEN etc)

I've been offered a good quality, 3" turbo back, S/S exhaust for $800. Its about 6-8mnths old and is supposed to be in very good condition. Sounds great etc

Second hand seems like a good option at the moment

Main questions are:

Its coming from a near stock 2000 club spec 4, so will it fit a MY97, without any hassles?

How easy are they to fit? and

Is this worth it, or should i shop around some more?

Cheers,

Mat

i dunno much bout rex's but i'd say a 2000 rex's exhaust wouldn't fit a 97 one am i right?

the body shapes are still the same from 97 wrx to the - 2000 evo though ?

[SHUTO-BOY]

dont know much about rexes but the xforce titanium exhaust systems for wrx is worth a look docile

Docile, Gtrken does alot of work on WRX's so he should know if it will fit. If they do then it's a simple matter to put it on, just need the loan of a hoist for 40mins:D

Price seems pretty good.

Thanks guys...

Dont worry SkylineGTR, i knew what you meant!

APPARENTLY it will fit no probs. Im not sure though. I'll PM Ken i think, Paul.

Would love a titanium exhaust but cant really afford one just yet. He's got reciepts and it was almost 2G all up. Its under a year old and is fully stainless steel.

If it fits ok, i think i'll get it.

Does anyone know how hgard are they to fit??

[gtrken]

Docile , all WRX exhausts on the 94-2000 fit but get one that is from the turbo back ( not cat back) and make sure it has a separate or blended waste gate pipe. That is where the gains are..

Maximums sell a show quality one from the turbo back in Stainless steel , hi flo cat and a nice tip with a muffler that doesn't drone for $1750 + GST fitted.

Biggest hassle is getting the pipe off the turbo and modifying the steel cover to fit the bigger pipe.

The rest is easy and a hoist makes it a lot simpler.

Thanks heaps Ken. I have a feeling it was either a MMS or RMS exhaust... He said he payed around $1800 for it.

Its turbo back, so if its looks the goods, i'll buy it

I've got access to a "walk in pit" but my old man knows a couple of guys that run the Shell garages, so we could probably borrow a hoist for a little while.

The only bit i'm worrying about is "getting the pipe off the turbo and modifying the steel cover to fit the bigger pipe"

Any ideas on a rough figure of an exhaust shop fitting it??

Cheers

dolice....

what modification do you want to make????

I have a MMS turbo back (all MMS are Norm Bulter built). The way to tell if its MMS i it will have a wastegate splitter built into the dumppipe (this is where the power gains come from as Ken was saying)...

To fit it its a piece of cake. We did took mine off 2 weeks ago, fitted my ew turbo and put it back on ourselves.....

Daniel, I just want to run autronics, FMIC, big turbo etc. Thats all in the long run though.

For next 6mnths or so i just want to have the very basic mods.

I'll sms him soon (he's selling because he bought all Rashaad's (the spoilerless evo 4 rex) old stuff, when Rashaad bought Hansens Evo 6) and find out.

[IMACUL8]

Matt

if the exhaust is SS, full turbo back and has the wastegate splitter all for $800......

GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GRAB IT CAUSE THATS A BARGIN.

PS - i have a vf22 and link now as well

Dan

[docile]

Ok cool. He was saying something about having a splitter and wanted 1K for it (but whilst drunk at the ISD's he said i could have it for 7 or $800), so i'm going to buy it.

I know only the basic's so anyone with help / idea's / advice on changing exhausts, it would be much appreciated!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Mat, Buy it then I'm sure we can muster some talent to fit it:D
