Looking for stock intercooler pipe

[Spooler]

Hey guys,

Does anybody in Montreal/Laval have the stock pipe from the turbo to the intecooler? The stupid nipple going to the bvp cracked and I want to replace it before I trade in the car.

Let me know

Or maybe a good replacement hardpipes kit?

I've got a hard pipe (steel, nothing special) that I won't be needing soon... wanna hold onto my stocker though.

Thanks for the offer, it's appreciated. But won't be needing it now, I just made a man of myself an bought the WeaponR from Ken.

Easy math: Stock Hot Pipe goes for $380 US + $20 shipping.....for the same crap quality piece!!! For less I am changing all pipes.

But you're trading in your car after paying that much for hard pipes? I have a stock hot pipe, I didn't think they really went more than $40 + shipping used.. plus I know of a way to still use the hot pipe you have, I got a hollow rubber grommet from Advance Auto, it had a lip on one end, I took the nipple off the stock hot pipe, got a dremel and opened the hole up a bit more so the rubber grommet could go through with the lip on the inside of the pipe, then I attached the bpv to the rubber grommet with the little metal clamp and it stayed like that. Worked great and cost me about $7.

I hear you, sounds like a working solution. I epoxy glued the nipple back in twice, still broke off. So I'm done reparing that part, especially that stuff like that takes time and I rather spend my time doing productive things than hacking on my car. There is something I learnt in my many years of taking my cars apart and fixing them: every time you fix something with a cheap solution you end up fixinig it 50 times and it never works as it should (AWR endlinks are a great example). So, was the WeaponR kit the cheapest solution? Definitely not. Was it the easiest solution? Yes. Is it a quality product? For what I read around, it seems to work well. I looked on the FS section, there was nothing. Plus there is always voltures in there waiting to jump thes hard pipe .The trade in felt through, the WRX was sold....So now I am in wait mode. I may sell the car instead of trading it in to get a fair value, therefore it was important to repair it well so the next buyer gets a fine running car and pays me for the care I took of this car over the years. Still, thanks for the comment

I thought about getting the front mount....but I don't want to mod the car, all I want it's for the car to run fine! I need reliability until the car is sold, that's all. Other than this, the car runs great.
