I currently have stock exhaust on a 2004 WRX. I now have this 3" downpipe with a flat flange on the bottom and need to figure out what to do with it. I read that you can SORTA bolt a flat flange up to the stock donut but that sounds pretty ghetto to me. Perhaps some muffler shop could make me a test pipe that would bolt up to my stock muffler or some little adapter? Ideas? Please don't try to peddle me your ****ty CBE with a donut flange on it on here. . . . and I know I can get a whole used CBE for a few hundred bucks but I was hoping for a cheaper and less noisy option.
talk with nathan (wrxboy2003) he can whip something up for ya. he does great work, he just made me a mid pipe thinger and its great.
the midpipe section of a Turbo XS stealthback would do exactly what you need, and is available separate from the rest of the system. http://www.turboxs.com/shop_prod1.php?what_category=8
daddyssp makes a nice 3" flat flange midpipe that will bolt up to the factory muffler. it even has a flex joint!
I'm almost 98% certain that that won't work for 2 reasons: 1. The flange that meets with the midpipe/cat section is a donut flange, which is what Mike wants to get rid of in the first place 2. It is also a different length from the stock rear pipe. For some reason, TXS decided it would be a good idea to make their rear section and midpipe/cat section different lengths. Their shorty DP and axelback portions are the regular length, though.
Yup, that's the one I told Mike about a few days ago. Apparently he doesn't want to listen to me, hehehe. :laugh:
Well I know we are new here, but we carry Turboxs and we fabricate exhaust components, feel fre to give us a shout. Chris
