08 STi hatch - std 4 exit exhaust box

Off my 2008 STi hatch STi, the 4 exit rear exhaust box. £100 ?
Also the 2nd cat pipe. Offers.

These were replaced by PPP at about 6000 miles and been in the garage since.

Ideally collection in North West, it would be awkward and dear to wrap / post! Probably over £20 postage - unless any one knows cheaper places!

just a quick note, think you may be asking a little too much, i sold mine to a fellow hatch owner, HKP, for £50, have seen some on ebay for £150 never sold, reduced them to £100, sold first time.


but hey, your items , your price, just depends how quick you wana sell em.

Thanks for the advice!

No idea what they are worth ( worth what some one will pay for them!! ).

Had seen the OEM exhausts for £220... no idea if they sold tho.


Cheers

Yup, there are a lot of them around! A dealer I spoke to was desperate to get rid of some so just started sticking them on WRXs and 2.0is!

Which reminds me Mark, I must pop in that cash I owe you and poke about at that grille again ;-)

Work has been taking me North not South recently, and Doris is banned from Lakeside after seeing my Credit Card bill

lol u can pop round whenever mate, you know where i am now and the grille is currently on mine but can be removed in minutes

Hi,
Interested in the exhaust parts if they are still available?

Cheers

I have a standard quad STI box sat in my shed. It's done about 3000 miles and is in excellent condition.

P.M me if you don't get sorted with a decent offer (I can courier it to you)

pm sent.

I'm also after the 2nd cat box (to de-cat the inards)and a de-resonator section if you know of any available?

This is what I had made up to deres the centre pipe as none were available for the stock exhaust when I did mine!

A guy of SN made it for me, cannot remember his name but there's a bit on the 08/09 thread of him making his own system up.

That would be me

I made myself a full undercar exhaust system.
Seems like it took forever. I had intended on taking more photos of it but time was slipping and many late nights were spent at work trying to get it finished, one became an early morning

I remade the cat pipe, centre pipe and backbox.
The cat pipe has a s/steel flange cut to marry the end of the down pipe. The original tube was 2 1/2" in diameter but was made from quite thick steel. I have remade it in 20swg (0.9mm) thick 304 s/steel and kept the original diameter. At the end of the cat pipe where it joins the centre pipe I have done away with the sprung ball joint and used male/female rings with V band clamps. Also this pipe needed a bracket to hard mount it to the diff casing and a lambda sensor boss.






The old centre pipe was made from 60mm tube. This I have upped to 2 1/2" (63.5mm) and again made it from 0.9mm wall tube. I replaced the ball joint with a v band clamp which is a solid joint so to introduce some flexibility back into the system I have a s/steel braided flexi section. Then it runs down the car in the original tunnel, however I managed to get it a little higher than the stock one. This was helped by the fact that my centre pipe enters the backbox in the centre instead of over to one side like the original Prodrive. There is another v band clamp just before the backbox.

The backbox is also made from 0.9mm sheet, but where the centre pipe enters it there is a doubler made from 1.2mm sheet to reinforce this area. Is is cut in the shape of a "splat" to reduce the risk of vibration cracking and is the same for the "flower" which is welded around the lambda boss sensor.

The backbox has s/steel perf tube inside. They are merged at the side where the centre pipe enters and then split off to each side of the box. This part is 60mm tube. Then there is another bend out of the box to the tail pipes where it cones up to the tail pipe size of 3 1/2". This is the same size as the Prodrive box I took off. I have only made a single tail pipe exit each side as that was quicker and I didn't know if it would even sound ok I can change this at a later date if I wish but I thought I'd see how the single looks.















So it was all finished the other week on a friday night and the sound................ well it was exactly what I hoped for. It sounds pretty stock on tick over and if you just tickling around it is still quite subtle, tho it does sound more meaty still. Then when you open her up there is a nice flat four rumble and a bit of a bark too. On coast there are some pops too, but again not all the time and quite subtle. Thats exactly what I was after.
Inside you can hear it a lot better and it has got rid of the really annoying bass drone that it had. All round winner

Here's a video
