Default HKS downpipe

hi all,

would anyone know if the hks downpipe (for a my99 wrx) has a splitter between the main exhaust side and the wastegate side?

i couldn't find any pics on the net.

Cheers
Ken

no. a bellmouth causes turbulence. you want a splitter to seperate gases so they reduce the amoutn of turbulence after the exhaust of the turbo.

the RMS dump pipes are good as the wastegate side is slightly block to hold the wastgate shut as long as possible.

to clarify, you want a venturi splitter, not just a 'splitter'

venturi design...

decrease in air pressure causes an increase in velocity.
