I am looking for a helix catless up pipe..Anyone got one? lemme know...thanks..

 

try the vendors. I know that the V3 from Helix is on its way. I am waiting for that one. I hope its soon.

Try 500whp.com. They have one on there. Its not the new one, but it has the flex section which is nice.

 

Hey man, your 2006 wrx already comes with a catless uppipe, dont waste your money

 

it does have a cat..i checked it today when i changed my dp

 

To be honest there is no reason to change it though because it is not a restricter cat which is what the other year Subies have hince we they get changed for a aftermarket one for added WHP and quicker spool time. I also read your thread about the VF34 and to be honest you don't need to spend money on some of the things it sounds like you are planning on. Im honest with my customers and don't let them waste their money for my or the companies benefit so honestly you do not need an aftermarket uppipe, there are better parts to spend your money on for your car. Check out my response to your post about the VF34 and think about giving me a call.

also, the 06 WRX and WRX TR do not have cats in the uppipe. I have been schooled on this matter about three times. There are two in the downpipe. The only reason to go with an uppipe would be to go with the V3 and run an external wastegate, if you are going with a bigger turbo.

 

Thanks man, so if i change my up pipe i wont get added whp? It will make no difference?

 

no significan't HP/Torque will be gained by removing the uppipe cat. What it *will* affect is the speed that the turbo spools, giving you power in lower RPM.

 

the only reason why you would need to change your uppipe in the 06 is to either run an external wastegate, Helix V3, or a custom up-pipe for an aftermarket turbo. Other than that, just keep the stocker and youll be fine.

 

thanks alot for the help!!
