    There are a ton of options for uppipes. You can save some coin and gut your stocker, or you can check out any of the several vendors who offer them. The only real differences are flex or non flex and coated or non coated. All will flow pretty much the same. Search around and see if there are any you like, used ones are fine, just make sure there are no cracks in the welds and that the studs are good.

    ERZ. Cheap, flex section, stainless, welds are nice. Any uppipe made for a WRX/STi will work fine.

    I have a stock wrx 04 I just took off with only 21000 miles on it. I bought one for $40, gutted it ahead of time and swapped them. I will sell you this one, will even gut it for you. The searching I did said there was no performance hit on stage 2.
