Not necessarily, I was told that STi UP is very similar to most aftermarket UP, it's straight piping as opposed to a gutted setup. Unless you're going to go for over 300+ HP then UP might be good. My cobb UP has a very similar pipe width than the STi UP

look at anything other than cobb or sti...

it has bigger piping..

my helix has bigger piping, the one eric has is bigger. perrin is bigger, invidia is bigger.

sti up is ok.. just not ideal for power..

i have had no problems with it, but i know plenty that have...

the piping itself isn't bad, its the fact that the flex joint has a tendensy to crack!

so u get an exhaust leak and u need a new up pipe.

but i plan on getting rid of mine even tho i have had no problems with it

never seen rotors like that, did you carve it up with razor blades? :P

anyways, i was told changing the uppipe on sti's are useless, better if done with headers at the same time.

but on 05 wrx and below, i think it'll be better to have aftermarket or stock sti uppipe for various reasons.

brakes, no clue

changing the up pipe on wrx or sti will gain power and turbo spool up time..

so, no u don;t need to do it on an sti, but it will show power

ANYONE WANT TO TRADE EXHAUST FOR A WEEK? LOL

no, i don't need another exhaust for anything, i was just interested if anyone was down to trade for a week. im just looking around at exhaust to trade for, and another sound may influence me to try and trade someone(no the person i trade for a week with.)

let me know

how many miles you got on yours :P

by the way, next meet, i think i might have some of my crew mates come through, i hope you guys dont mind.
there is a slight, VERY slight chance of srt-4 showing up, some of us are little confused how srt4 got into the crew but the one who recruited him says his very cool so we'll see -,.-

i think ryan and jack(?)(wrbwrxw/wing) knows him? the guy with yellow srt4 that stopped by our meet one time, remember he said he knew team slow? week later i was told he joined the crew :x
