Default turbo xs up pipe

I just bought a turboxs up pipe for my 02 wrx. I was wondering if any of you guys knew of a place where i could get this pipe ceramic coated? Also, i was going to install this myself but do not have all the tools needed, so if anyone could tell me a reliable place to get it installed. i live in bradenton, but willing to drive.

Also, is this a good up pipe, this one has a flex joint which i have read in forums is good and bad. just wondering what your guys thoughts were on this and if anyone has it on there car.

Ive done a few uppipes on WRXs. I would say DIY, but I dont know of anyone who does ceramic coating.

This should be it, so, yes, it looks like it has a flex section.

please dont put that part on your car....

i just watched someone pull their up pipe off after they had loss of all bost. there was a 3 inch part of metal that broke off of the up-pipe and destroy`d his turbo.

TurboXS is bing great about the issue, they over nighted him another up-pipe and are re-embusing him for all costs.

but i feel like it isnt worth the risk. heagrree`s and is going the rotated route.
