Default Help needed
Really need some help my51 bug is my daily driver and to day I bought the replacement pipe that removes the cat brand new but second hand.
Had a "mechanic" fit it and it don't fit (turns out its from a blobeye) needless to say he butchered my cat!! It's on but blowing like a c@&t.
Has anyone got a pipe laying around for sale??

Many thanks wonk

If it was for a blob it would fit
Take it back and get them to fix it for free it's down to them

Hmmm cant think what cat you mean? theres one in the up pipe, one in the down pipe and a small box in the front of the centre section iirc, then theres the back box.
are you sure the one your trying to fit is for a newage, may be for a classic instead??? My knowledge isnt that great but it may shed some light.

Yeah apparently it's for a blob. The center pipe is fine. But the pipe that goes between the center and down pipe ( the one with the lamba sensor) don't fit.

on a UK spec 2.0 WRX new-age car wether bug or blob you have the the same exhaust system and cat set-up..........

pre-cat in the up-pipe then the main cat after the turbo with a secondary cat in the lower part of what is basically a 2piece down-pipe, then middle section with resonator and finally back box..........

if you have a secondary cat bypass pipe it will fit regardless, so either you have been sold the wrong thing or the garage are muppets??

personally I think it off a newer shape. I seen the classic ones and it looks totally different. And its longer then the correct one ive just picked up. Even the 14mm retaining nut is in a different place.
