docile Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 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?

APA Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 i dunno much bout rex's but i'd say a 2000 rex's exhaust wouldn't fit a 97 one am i right? adrian Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23173-wrx-exhausts/#findComment-497110 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTS-t VSPEC Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 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.

docile Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 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 Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 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.

docile Posted August 24, 2003 Author Share Posted August 24, 2003 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??

IMACUL8 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 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.....

docile Posted August 24, 2003 Author Share Posted August 24, 2003 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 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 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.

docile Posted August 24, 2003 Author Share Posted August 24, 2003 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!
