    I just wanted to know if anyone knows a good uppipe and downpipe to buy. Porter told me PDE is great. I heard that you should only but an uppipe with flex. It seems right? Then I heard that the Helix is pretty good, but you can loose boost pressure under load on the Sti's, But its ok for the reg WRX? I donno know it seems fishy to me. If anyone has or knows of a good uppipe/ downpipe combination please let me know.

    stay away from the HKS ones. HKS has a nice name to it, but the pieces suck balls. i got the ERZ ones and i'm happy with them.

    I've got a Vishnu up-pipe and APS turbo-back with a single cat.

    It all came on the car but it works wonders.
