GrimmSpeed Up Pipe Install

[Montayyyy]

Do you have to put gasket sealant on the gasket?

[pewee4614]

U GUYS ARE FLIPPIN AWESOME FOR SHOWING THE SECRET FOR THE STUD INSTALLATION!!! 2 THUMBS UP IN MY BOOK!!

[bandwagon240]

Thanks for the awesome video and brilliant product.  This is bound to be better than my cracked Perrin uppipe.

[MrPrimal1980]

does this reduce turbo lag? over a non catted uppipe?

[triggadigga]

Can you choose to move the laambda sensor ? mine is on the downpipe After the turbo , any reason yours is before ?

[DeMar246]

15,000th view haha im really inebriated. it took me eight hours to do a header/upipe job on my 02 bugeye.

[medic4287]

Going to be doing this install tomorrow night. Rather than pull the exhaust manifold off at all, why cant the up pipe be fished out from the top once all the bolts are removed, and slid back down on to the manifold? I understand based on the previous post you wanted to replace the manifold gaskets but it looks like it can be easily done, especially with the down pipe removed.

[smithracing11]

If there is an EGT hole in the aftermarket up-pipe will it trip the computer? im curious.... im looking into one but i dont want to mess with the computer. let me know please

[alabaska182]

I got a question, if you want to replace just the gasket that connects from the up pipe (lower section) to the exhaust manifold do I need to take apart everything and replace gaskets for the head and what not? I noticed there's a small leak in there and its loosing boost + makes an awful noise when I let off the throttle, also what gasket would you recommend I have a 3" up pipe. Thanks for the vid btw! Can't wait to get one and put on an EWG :D

[fabman188]

why do u have the wastegate removed if there is no external wastegate?

[mageftw1]

This was a pain in the ass... I used atleast 5 hours getting rid of the damn heathshields..

[proMediic]

Would you recommend deleting the O2 sensor from the up pipe

[driftster99]

so does the 2.2 kohm resistor have to be soldered or can it be plugged in? -thanks

[grimeyspecv]

can you remove the up pipe from the top if you swapping the turbo at the same time?

[GrimmSpeed]

@grimeyspecv You actually can if the turbo is coming out as well! -Will

[proMediic]

@GrimmSpeed

I was replacing the turbo plus the up pipe and upon removing the turbo coolant ran into the up pipe. Should I take the manifold off?

[TTarlov]

@proMediic I would not worry about it. It will either dry by the time you put everything back together or when you start the car it will evaporate.

[KrGsMrNKusinagi0]

great instructions very detailed

[chadaf2010]

Just installed this and noticed a flutter from the turbo @ around 3000RPM that wasn't there before. Do the bolts need some extra tightening?

[HolyBBSProduction]

if you dont change out the downpipe on a wrx 02 will you have the problem as not changing the up pipe? (Cat from uppipe being sucked into and destroying the turbo...)

[asilva4877]

should have included how to override the CEL with the 2.2Kohm resistor...this is what seems to puzzle me

[MondomuuundO]

quick question. a friend of mine is selling his uppipe but he has an 03 wrx and i have an 06 legacy gt. so i am just wondering if they are compatible with each other. by just looking at the part it looks like it would fit but i just want a professional opinion

[MrWrbarnett]

@MondomuuundO Yes they will work!!! I think I grabbed his message/your message on legacygt.com too! :)

[mageftw1]

btw u need lots of PB blaster....

[TheNightOwl04]

nnice video i have the GS uppipe ready to install just Waiting on the gaskets. is it really that easy to pull out the stock one

[TheNightOwl04]

nice video i have the GS uppipe ready to install

[UnknownProductions0]

why do you remove the whole manifold insted of one side and un bolt it at the cross pipe?

[GrimmSpeed]

@UnknownProductions0 You should always replace these gaskets when doing this install to insure a proper seal, nothing worse than having to go back through it!

Will

[UnknownProductions0]

@GrimmSpeed yes but could i just remove the passenger side exhaust manifold and not the drivers side manifold?

[GrimmSpeed]

@UnknownProductions0 Yeah you could do that for sure. You are more than likely going to need to loose everything(both sides) up though then tighten down. - Justin Grimm

[xSTIguyx]

Awesome Vid!!! I've watched it prob 10x now. Anyone know what size/thread those nuts are to snug down the studs? I'm getting the EWG Uppipe on Tues. just don't want to have to guess or make 5 trips to the Home depot.

[sergsrt8]

is an uppipe the same as a downpipe

[GrimmSpeed]

@sergsrt8 Great question! The downpipe is actually different, it connects the exit of the turbo to the res of your exhaust. The up pipe connects the exhaust manifold to the entrance (exhaust side) of the turbo.

Will

[kayll007]

how come you guys dont do any stuff for gc8 models youd make more money as there isnt much aftyermarkt stuff for gc8 stis

[themisiek2]

Can you install one with an EWG on it just as easily?

[GrimmSpeed]

@themisiek2 Yes the installation is the exact same, you will need to remove your downpipe for additional room to set up the waste gate and dumptube, but the whole process is very easy!

[subaru161172]

there is something that fascinates me the videos they put on youtube grimmspeed and image quality are like highdefinition thanks for the good work they have done ..... roqueflip / puertorico

[istayaway1]

With the internal wastegate bracket in place can you still use the stock heatshield over the snail?

[bloodstriper]

awesome thanks for the help

[bloodstriper]

what are the down side if one did choose to use this up pipe for "on road" purposes?

[GrimmSpeed]

@bloodstriper None what so ever, that is our precaution to make sure that use this pipe under your own discretion choice. Most of our customers do use this on the street.

[bloodstriper]

does this up pipe come with all gaskets and bolts and nuts and what not ... im assuming its catless?!

[GrimmSpeed]

@bloodstriper it comes with new bolts to connect to the exhaust manifold and new studs to connect to the turbo but gaskets are extra. We do offer them though and they are cheaper than OEM and are 22% thicker as well!

[HoldeyMoeBeel]

This video helped me a lot. Watched it probably 5 times throughout installing my uppipe.

I do however wonder why they have an IWG wastegate bracket on the turbo, when the factory uppipe is still in place. Product placement much?

[GrimmSpeed]

@HoldeyMoeBeel

Haha good question! It was actually on our race car and we had already removed so much to do the install, didn't think it would throw anybody off!

[devikwolf]

I just installed my GS up-pipe a couple of weeks ago, lots of things explained in here that I certainly struggled with, even after heavily researching my install. Excellent tutorial video, excellent up-pipe! Thanks, GrimmSpeed!

[GrimmSpeed]

@devikwolf Awesome!
