Not really the triangle area, but I shopped around and both of these places have a good rep:

Have you considered getting an e-tune? That is ultimately the route I took and really happy with the results.
Thanks for the info. Yes I have and I would really like to stay away from e-tunes, a little iffy on the idea. I might consider it more if I have no other options.

Hey y'all I've got a question for any tuned LGT's in the area. I'm looking for a shop in the Triangle area preferably, with quality staff that does quality work. I am aiming for Stage 2 but we will see. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

If you still have a cat in the up-pipe, get that sucker out of there. With that and a exhaust you could get a stage 1 tune. Car will feel smoother, little power bump and if done right, It's safer for your engine. You might see a little economy bump as well. Of course at that point your only a down pipe away from stage 2... slippery slope. Enjoy your wagon.
If your doing springs, do struts at the same time. Stock struts won't hold out on stiffer springs. If you can't swing both of those, do sway bars now and springs/struts down the road. Check your Front LCA bushings. And search "banjo filter".
Here's my Wagon:
Ok thank you very much for the advice. All of that sounds very appealing and I'll probably get right on getting the cat out of the up-pipe. Being that I'm still in school, funds toward the LGT may be somewhat limited so I might just have to settle for a muffler or hogzaust for now.
I also might look into sway bars and just replacing small things around the car like bushings and such.
Thanks again for all of the advice.

Check out these guys for service needs if you have not already. They rebuilt the engine and road tuned a friends WRX and he was very satisfied with them.
thanks for the recommendation. I think I am going to keep everything relatively stock and without a tune. The first things to go in will be a stereo system, an exhaust (or a muffler if I can find one), and some springs. If I go for some tuning I will definitely keep them in mind.
thanks again
Nice car choice. We have an 05 LGT Sedan in OBP and often find ourselves wishing we had went with the wagon.Yes it is a very fun car and twice as nice being its a wagon. I am very satisfied
