    I am looking to by a downpipe soon so that I can finally go stg.2. I currently have a Borla sti style catback and want something that will mate up to it well. Anyone have any suggestions on what to get.

    ERZ ebay style= Helix = Invidia....

    so if you are loaded like Dream get the invidia, if you live on food stamps like me, get the erz.


    btw, not a single problem with the erz and i have had it on for about a year.


    EDIT: Nice avatar as well.

    I was thinking about a good downpipe myself. I hear some can give "boost creep".

    Boost creap on an STi is very likely, and will set a cel instantly. If your even gonna attempt it, you better have a COBB Access Port to perform a re-flash to prevent it.

    ...or port the turbo, like I did. :twisted: No boost creep issues, yet. We will see what happens when it gets real cold...

    I did a DIY (spark arrestors) mechanical fix and it worked for a while, but I get CELs all the time now at WOT in 5th-6th gear...time to move to a different solution for that.
