dont get S-techs, they are crappy springs

any HP increase with what?

If you want a mature tone, IMO skip the catback and go stage 2. Much better bang for buck with little added noise. (See my vid a few posts up). If you do wanna do a catback only for a bit of rumble, no need to worry about a CEL as there are no 02 sensors in the catback. Borla is supposedly one of the quieter systems out there. My buddy has a SPT CBE on his 08' and it sounds awesome IMO.

Welcome to the forum! Here ya go: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110580 You will only get a CEL if you forget to plug the MAF sensor back in

yes, see above. http://www.fredbeansparts.com/servlet/the-987/Bilstein-Subaru-Legacy-GT/Detail

HDs are NOT the same as OEM Spec. B Bilsteins

no not much rumble at all. I clicked the thread post you linked and sure enough "on a JDM legacy wagon"

its probably a JDM model with stock EL header

^ w/ EL header right?

it rode like shit... meaning what? too bumpy? too harsh?

Why didn't you like the HD/pinks combo? Too harsh?

That looks great. Anymore pics of your car with the HDs/pinks on?

Pink springs seem to be the common choice for a slight drop and better handling.

Here's a set of 04' goldies FS: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f65/wheels-52506/

^ Looks much better. I didn't use the chrome ring on mine either.

Where's Manuel?

Sounds quite a bit louder with the aftermarket mid/y, but it could just be the camera. kevkel, how much louder does it seem to you as opposed to a completely stock catback? I wonder how much a HFC would lower the exhaust level with your set up.

Cool, please do. Also, are you running an intake or a BOV ?

SPT sucks air from the front of the engine bay, not the back. I am stage 1 with avo panel filter, you really can only hear more engine/turbo noises when you drive with the windows up and radio off (hasn't happened for me in months). I do have the silencer in, maybe removing that lets you hear more feedback in all driving conditions (windows down, etc.)
