what power are you aiming for ?
and personally a would stay clear ov the flexi style up-pipe and go for the slip joint solid one

excellent up-pipe. and ignore the 350bhp comment, these up-pipes are good for alot more than 350bhp
Paul they do two types a 1.3/4", (the upto 350bhp) pipe & a 2" which i gather is for hight powered applications ?. or have i mis-understood the it, i hope not as i'm just about to buy a set of there headers & up-pipe which have been ceramic coated.

AAS Newburn - solid pipe, thing of beauty
As Finn says stay clear of the flexi joint ones, I blew a hole in mine and I dont drive that hard.

Agree with h&s or a AAS up pipe, great quality, beware of other local performance pars retailers selling the AAS up pipes at inflated prices.
You could fit a hawkeye wrx or sti or bug/blobeye sti up pipe as these do not have a cat in and are a direct replacement for the standard one.
As for turbo if are going for the low to mid 300's you will need a good VF series turbo and a set of pink sti injectors.

ok great help lads. i did not have a bhp figure in mind just thought i would get whatever parts i can afford and see where i ended up. obviously i would get everythin alltogether but money determines the quality ,as say secondhand instead of new maybe.also what is everyones thought on heat wrappin exhausts. i have seen the ceramic ones also. heard a theory wrapping brings the pipes close to molten? is it needed.or of much benefit, also i have the prodrive system with sports cats so is their any point in gettin other cat replacement pipes?
