I've got a syncro and I see both venders have them. The only thing I want to check is if you pipes were cut when the subie engine was installed at small cars. If so Terry would be a better choice because he's making them to size.

The Bus Depot store knows this but the VolksCafe site lists only 1. Perhaps they ask specific questions and ship different pipes as needed but their site does not reflect this. The original metal pipes are a smaller outer diameter than the later plastic pipes. If you replace them with new pipes meant as replacements for the plastic ones your smaller rubber hoses won't fit. Also the 85 plastic pipes are longer than 86+ plastic pipes so stainless replacement pipes need to be made the right length as well as the right diameter.
