So I finally ordered a nice cat-back exhaust and now looking for a front pipe/downpipe but having hard time finding them for the ST205. Aussie one is expensive and limited right now, only place I found selling it said 3-4 week wait time. So anyone know any other place you can order a decent one? has anyone tried any of the ebay ones? Or do you guys recommend just getting a custom one made locally? Would 2nd gen 3sgte or 3rd gen MR2 ones fit the st205 without any modifications?

The berk one looks great and seems to have the improved sleeve that yellowchinaman was saying. Has a flex pipe built in though and my front pipe already has a flex pipe in it.

Gonna ask around see how much a custom one would go for locally before I decide.



that extra flex pipe is to avoid cracking your downpipe over time, having a second flex pipe in your exhaust system will not cause any issues, actually it will put less stress on the whole exhaust piping as it has 2 flex points to release engine movement stress.
