CNT Racing External Wastegate Up Pipe w/ Dump Tube 44mm V-Band WRX/STI/LGT/FXT

was impressed at first, but upon further inspection and installation, the finish for the wastegate flange on the internal of the pipe is a bit ugly, not flush with jagged edges, and worst of all, the studs to the turbo are in a m10x1.50 and not a 1.25 which is almost impossible to find small enough nuts to fit, new nuts are not provided for these changed studs and made install very difficult , decent at best

Nice

At first inspection it looks good. Quality materials are used. Upon further inspection the section of the external wastegate up pipe where the dump tube connects the fitment wasn't perfect and had a couple of spots where the weld wasn't near as good as the other welds. Overall it will do the job especially for the price. I had a welder friend inspect it and he said it looks good other than the fitment of that pipe but will function properly. I will continue to purchase products from CNT.

Was really pleased to see how good the quality is! Super clean welds in and out, would highly recommend to anyone in the fence about it!

I was pretty impressed with the build quality of this up pipe. It's made from a very solid metal and the tig welds were very good! The thing I was disappointed in was the thread pitch on the studs that come with the kit as well as the threads that are cut into the flange are not the factory sizing they're M10x1.5 instead of the M10x1.25 that the factory studs/nuts are. The only suggestion I would have is to provide nuts to go along with this kit because i had to go to the lowes and purchase the M10x1.5 nuts with the shoulder so that I could install my turbo!
