Classic Y-pipe

[Scoobydoobydan]

I'm after a Y-pipe in blue for my classic V1 Impreza..... All I can find and see are the normal factory black ones, anyone got a blue one???

Not for a classic, earliest model I've seen is for a 2000 model, I've looked on eBay, viper performance , Sfs, rally design can't find anything......

Have you tried emailing/messaging anyone to see if it's hidden somewhere?

I've emailed 2 on eBay, (1 from China, so fingers crossed) lol

ive emailed viper and they came back with this is the link to all our hoses..... (Same as there web site) helpful!!! 

emailed sfs, still waiting for a reply........

 

somethings telling me V1 and V2's can't have anything different other than the factory ones?? Specially when eBay doesn't have one - lol

It is surprising. eBay seems to have silicon for everything. It's an excuse for an intercooler upgrade though.

[Scoobydoobydan]

To be honest it's the first place I look for most parts and bits as I know I will always find something....... But as you say it would be perfect, as I've changed a few pipes / hoses and after buying a custom made intercooler cover I thought I might as well change the pipe before installing it back under the bonnet, but no.... ?

My following list is full of impreza "insert part here" tags. Part of my daily reading during the commute on the peasant transport.

Ho for a v3/4 cooler upgrade, they fit yours with a little bit of work and are one of the most effective classic coolers

Might look into this....... Thanks mate

There's a Web page about doing it somewhere I'll see if I can gid it out for you, you will need to chop the v1 one up I think and what not

[Scoobydoobydan]

Thanks stants

Hi mate I can find the page any more, but basically from what I remember, you have to do a throttle body mod, or swap the inlet to a later ver, then cut out the front left hand side of your v1 cooler and get someone who can weld ally to stick it onto the v3 cooler and finally see if you can get the air flowing properly through the scoop to the cooler,

So in short i'd not bother or go fmic if your after power

[Ash007ks]

Ah in that case the v1 inter cooler is slightly different shape to the v5-v6
