Gonna say no. The bends just don't seem right on that one either.

See this is what I don't understand then. The imprezza header was bent the same at stock headers on my legacy just got the uel header's off a rs 2.5 so wouldn't after the cat be the same/ what if its just an generic picture? Maybe?

A test pipe is NOT a high flow cat. A test pipe is a track pipe - no cats.

The link you posted on 13 Sept, is for a high flow cat - One o2 bung, 2.25" pipe, 21.75" long pipe

Do some measurements on your existing cat section - I think you will find that this replacement pipe is a little short and lacking 1 O2 bung.

That actually does look like it's for a Turbo model, not even close to an N/A section of pipe. And it's catted.

http://www.boxer4racing.com has a Stromung track pipe. A little pricey, but OEM fitment and high quality welds & steel.
