Using the Tomioka Racing 3 - Bolt Uppipe is straightforward. First, make sure you've specified your vehicle's year, make, and model when purchasing as this will ensure you get the right fit. All the necessary installation hardware comes with the product. Just follow the normal installation steps for an exhaust uppipe. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the welding and flanges. Since it's made of high - quality stainless steel, it's quite durable, but you can clean it occasionally with a mild stainless - steel cleaner to keep its mirror - like finish. One important thing to note is that depending on your vehicle model, the EGT sensor situation varies. For 2002 - 2004 WRX, you have a stock EGT sensor. For 2004 - 2014 WRX and 2004 - 2019 STi, the EGT bung is bypassed with a threaded cap. Other models use a threaded plug. Don't try to modify these setups without proper knowledge as it may affect the performance of your vehicle.
