Easiest downpipe to replace rustty stock one
Pretty sure my exhaust leak is a hole rusted in the bend area of the downpipe, by its hard to tell with all the heat shielding. What's the easiest downpipe to use to replace it? I've tried searching but can't find a definate answer. Obviously one from another legacy ss, but are there any aftermarket ones for a wrx or anything that will bolt in without modification? Car is a 92 ss. 4eat. I just want to quiet it down a bit as cheaply as possible. I'd be fine with a cheapo eBay one if I don't have to do any Modding to make it work. It will probably outlast the car anyways.

WRX downpipes still require extending the mid-pipe to reach the flange; they're a little shorter than the Legacy ones. But that's all you should have to do besides adding a bung for your O2 sensor.

Re: Easiest downpipe to replace rustty stock one
Yeah I had planned on turning it in for the cat in it. So what year WRX ones work best? Auto or Manual? I have easy access to a very cheap one from an 04 STI, would that work at all? And assuming I use one from a WRX, how much would the midpipe need extending? Last dumb question for the moment, how hard is adding the O2 bung? Can I just buy one and have someone weld it in, even if the pipe is one of those cheapy ebay stainless ones?

Re: Easiest downpipe to replace rustty stock one
Another question for those that have used a cheapo ebay wrx one. is the bolt spacing on the flange the same as the stock legacy ss midpipe?
