07 WRX Stock Up-Pipe On A 05 WRX?
 

Does anyone know if the up-pipe on a 07 WRX will fit/work on my 05 WRX? A friend has one laying around because it has been replaced with an aftermarket up-pipe and I hear 06+ is catless so I was just wondering!

I'm pretty sure it does. The engines didn't change significantly between 05 and 07.

The 07 is a 2.5 and the 05 is a 2.0, so I wasn't sure if all of the piping would line up or if I would have any problems that anyone knows of. Trying to get rid of the dam cats or at least one for free!

Yeah, but the 2.5 block and the 2.0 block are the same exterior size and for the most part have all the same mounting spots.

FWIW, I've got a WRX up pipe on my 2.5l Legacy motor.

I think so, but I'm not 100%. Be prepared to deal with the CEL from the EGT sensor coming out. The resistor fix works well. Maybe watch for boost spiking too.

If I have to deal with CEL's and soldering and resistors, maybe it's not worth it until I get the TBE. Just looking for a way to rid of a cat with a part that would cost me nothing at all except time to put it in. Can anyone confirm I will have a CEL if I do this?! Thanks

The resistor fix consists of pushing the two ends of a $0.30 resistor into a plug and putting tape over it. All of 12 maybe 15 seconds of "work". It's the 5 hour up-pipe install, and the $40 in new gaskets that sucks ass.

The ap v2 will clear that up won't it.

If I had an AP v2 I wouldn't be worried at all about this up-pipe, this part is free as opposed to a $700 Cobb AP! I would be saving for bigger and better things if I had that. But with the AP CEL's are a thing of the past from what I hear.

you don't need to get the v2. You never see the damn thing anyways. Just get on nasioc and pick of a v1 for cheap from someone who wants the v2 bling.

^+1 Gut your stock UP, buy whatever bellmouth or DWG DP you can afford, wrap it if it's not coated, replace the stock axleback with a straight through of at least 2.5" ID and get Protuned.

I wouldn't do the UP without tuning on anything but a bugeye, personally.

I use my ap as a boost gage. I enjoy the v2 and think it is worth every penny.

You can do that with the V1 too. But you should consider one that doesn't use the stock sending unit (for safety).

v1 has a less then readable display though. I'm also verry interested to see how much gas I'm wasting when the fuel economy update comes out... :~:

It went in fairly clean...

Is that a womans foot?

LOL ya thats my wife's little foot.

awww i thought that was my foot...looks just like my peticure :(

...:|

I would get one too, if. . . well, you know. . . :(

Its ok... the avatar says it all...

Speaking of, Jeremiah what did you do with your stock up pipe...ok I'll stop.:oops:

damn son, give me your Up and $30 and I will gut it for you. Lazy bastid

Thanks for the offer but I think I'm gonna wait on the up gut/replace till I do dp. Less gasket money.

Honestly, what is the difference between the AP V1 and V2?! Is it really just bling or does the V2 actually have some real good features over the V1 that we can use?! You can get custom tuning on both right?! Do they both come with pre-loaded maps? If I am not going to get too crazy with my car should I spend the extra money on the V2 or find a V1? Just curious.

the v2 has some stuff like 0-60 timers and what not but the v1 is just fine. yes they both have preloaded maps and yes they both can get custom tuned.

i say v1

I also say v1. some people get the v2 so they can impress their wives. ;)

If you are not going to use the live data features (boost, idc, temp, ignition, ect) then just get the v1. There are absolutly no performance upgrades between v1 and v2. Same maps and so on. I got the v2 because I did not have a boost gauge and I liked the idea of having a displayable unit so I could switch maps on the fly.

:lol: dick. Trust me 650$ did not impress her...

so wait... then why does she still prefer to drive the rolla:?: wierd...

Yeah, but you didn't get married until after you got the WRX. Coincidence?


:D

lol

The V2 also flashes faster, uses USB, holds more maps, and is more likely to safe your ass if your ECU becomes corrupt. Many also are loving the flat foot shifting, and launch control (V2 only).

What's flat foot shifting and launch control for?

Mainly for jumping the draw bridge.

:lol:

(I just heard the Dixie horn in my head)

I'm not sure if I am interested in the flat foot shifting or the launch control, simply because I do not launch my car on the street! Flat foot shifting just doesn't sound good to me.....So what I get out of what I've heard from you guys and other people that own Subaru's is that if you want a COBB AP with a nice display and a lot of extra "BLING" that is included with the new version, get a V2. If you want an AP that is very basic but does the trick without all the bells and whistles, get a V1. They both hold the same maps and load them the same (one a little faster apparently), and I'm not really interested in the flat foot shifting, launch control, or the gauges/bling that comes in the V2. Can anyone else tell me why I NEED or have to have an AP V2?! Why I shouldn't just swoop a V1 for under half the price?! If anyone has any experience or insight on this please let me know. Thanks

One thing I never thought I would see, A General Lee WRX! WOW now that is funny!

Does anyone know how many maps the V1 holds as opposed the the V2 by chance?!

That thing is F**KING BAD!!! Where can I get one!?

Nah, just get a V1. The V2 also does 0-60 and quarter mile times, but it's really bad at it, so I've heard.

I would say V1 also. I have one, I don't switch my maps often so it is all I need.

v1!

You don't need to hold a bunch of maps, you can store them on your laptop if for some reason you have like 10.
