I have one but I didn't read the instructions and put the oxygen sensor in the wrong hole so I'm getting the service engine soon light. I'll be putting it in the right hole within the next few days. I'll get back to you on the results.

EVO-Bill!

Hey, live in the Glen Ellyn area! West burbs, and wanted to ask for some information as far as upgrade paths. You seem very informative due to the mods you have done so far. Anyway, I already have the AMS frontmount and will tell you that it is worth every penny. Improved my throttle response and added extra fuel milage! Did you instale the ARP studs your self? If so was it a pain and what was the tork specificatioons? Also, what intake are using, and are you using the e-manage setup? Thanks for your time! Robert 630-965-8848.

Keep in mind that the UR test pipe is not a "true" 3" .... as they measure from outside diam opposed to inside.

The special design of the pipe. It has an flange that runs off of the actual pipe where the oxygen sensor is supposed to go.

I have the Pruven cat-delete pipe and I just got a cell this morning. I did not have a chance to scan it but I'm more then sure it's the Cat light. Car pulls much harder even bone stock now. Much easyer to drive and the exhaust note is not much diffrent.

Pipe is Full 3in and I used the factory gaskets, and Some Subaru OEM bolts and nuts. Fit was perfect. And I got it for 50 bucks. Best bang for the buck out there.

I also gained some boost. 1.3=18.48 before
1.42= 20.xx Now peak

Stock ECU, Nothing else, Just doing some testing.

I have a S-AFC and Xede But they were not in the car.

Eric FYI.

Yep. But this is peak boost 1.42 it runs like 1.38 and then starts to tapper but better then the stock 1.3 and then tapper. Peak stock was about 1.33 to 1.36 at the most.


But this is a really good drivablity mod. Makes the car easyer to drive and also turbo Spool is about 200 to 300 RPM quicker. I would say full boost almost dead on 3000 rpm. For stock I was getting full boost at about 3250.

It also seems the temps went down. After a hot run I would put my hand over the hood and it felt much cooler. Now I know this is kinda dumb but hey I take eveything into account.

If you plan to keep your exhaust stock I would suggest the 2.5 test pipe.

Pruven's is 3in and fits like a glove and the cheapest.
