    If you have an MY04-06 Forester or MY01-03 Bugeye WRX, here's a simple and cost effective way to gain about 20KW on top of what you would normally gain from a tune.
    www.mrtperformance.com.au/exh...
    These models contain a Catalytic Converter in the turbo up-pipe for emissions, which adds a large restriction, reducing power and turbo spool. So much so that on later models, Subaru moved away from a catted up-pipe and used an air pump instead.

    Have you seen any difference in using a smaller diameter pipe versus a larger size? Aftermarket ones range from 1.75 inches to 2 inches (4.4cm versus 5cm)

    Just a tip for foresters: don't try pulling up pipe out from below... pull the up pipe out out from top (behind turbo) rotate pipe and out through the space where down pipe would be.

    • @SushiPac
      @SushiPac 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Patric McClancy I would pull it from the bottom. All you have to do is jack the motor up a few inches and your can sneak it out. Iv done so many I wouldn't do it any other way

    Based on the forester models that had air pumps not having upipe cats, is it correct that all turbo model subaru with air pumps don't have catted up pipes.

    I saw this video too late! The catalytic converter already plugged my turbo and I had the change the up pipe, luckily it didn’t destroy the turbo. I just had to remove every single piece from inside the turbo

      @VBshredder 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good to hear. I just replaced my turbo on a new to me 05XT and could see that cat down there in the uppipe - looked really good actually. I think i will checking the thing once a year until i bite the bullet and change out the uppipe.

    Hi Brett, You may obviously not know me but a personal friend of yours says Hi! His name is Jim from Mackay North QLD. I recently bought a 99 GC8 uk import and I was referred to him by one of the friendly staff at autobarn by the name of colin. Love your videos and I have fallen in love with subarus. :D

    I’m assuming my 07 Outback XT does NOT have catted up pipe since it DOES have the secondary air pump. Can anyone confirm?

  • @BrettMissen
    @BrettMissen 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    @MRT Performance Does a aftermarket CATless up pipe need a ECU tune after or is it safe to keep running the standard ECU mapping?
    Does it throw CEL codes because the CAT has been removed as there is a sensor in that up-pipe?

  • @jaybubb5500
    @jaybubb5500 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does the same apply for an 05 Baja turbo? And can you get a careless up pipe for that? Also if so is there any tuning required for just the careless up pipe? I’m working on a budget as I just replaced my turbo.

    • @SkaBob
      @SkaBob 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, the baja all have the catted up-pipe and you can use any up-pipe for the wrx, sti and forester. I bought an HKS uppipe for my 05 baja turbo.

    1 John 3:15 (KJV)
    15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him
    Psychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. ... Forgiveness does not mean forgetting, nor does it mean condoning or excusing offenses.
    Matthew 5:44;
    44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ... [46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?
    If we forgive others, we will be forgiven. "And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
