You guys know where I can get an up-pipe and down-pipe for cheap, maybe even used. Also, would you recommend a "used" AccessPORT? Any offers?
a used access port is fine because its married to one car only. so what ever the previous owner has used it for wont affect u. as far as the downpipe goes i would stick with one of the bellmouth ones on ebay, i think the bellmouth is neccesary for the stage 3 map on the AP
Is it a big job to install the up-pipe and downpipe, any special tools.....or can you just do it at any ole' garage.......like @ Jason's.
I'm debating on tackling mine Sunday...both pipes. Here's a comprehensive tutorial on in the install, tools, and pics... http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/showthread.php?t=39284
Just don't forget that the previous owner has to un-marry the ap from their car, or you will own a worthless pile of crap. it happened to me when I bought a used ap. Russ
Nope. You just need a bunch of patience and a jar to throw quarters in everytime you swear. Once finished with the install, you should be at least half way towards paying for the install with your jar full of quarters. :lol: All you need is a good 6-point socket set, breaker bar, jack, jackstands, a SHORT o2 socket (or a dremel to cut the heatshield around the front o2 sensor), and a torque wrench (proper torquing of the uppipe nuts will ensure a leak-free seal). Also, it would be very wise to get a can of PB Blaster to loosen up everything with.
I just bought a ERZ up and down combo. If anyone is curious about the quality of them I'll gladly take pictures when they arrive. So you can do the Up-pipe without jacking up the motor?
I've got a Tsudo downpipe you can have for a $100. It is a bellmouth with no cats. It fit my car perfect. I could help you install it and the uppipe also if interested.
