Look into magnaflow. They make some great stuff for all engines that sound good. I hate flowmasters and think they usually sound like crap on 4 cylinder engines...IMO STAY AWAY!

I had the flowmaster axle back on my '04 WRX and I liked the way it sounded. I come from a V8('64 tripower GP,'69 mustangs, '56 Ford F-100 with built chevy 327) backround and I thought it gave the 2.0L flat 4 a nice rumble. I'm running Bola XR1 and 2 magnaflow now and it sounds great. Just my $.02

I got my car on Dec. 14

 

1. Tinted window (within 24hr of buying car)

2. Bought Paul's(boostjunkie) 19" wheels and tires

3. got the Jazzy mod for my Sirius radio

4. painted foglight covers Black

5. RBS lip

6. JDM waist spoiler for my wagon

7. K&N Typhoon intake

8. DIY grill and mesh in lower grill opening

9. Whiteline F & R adj. swaybars

10. Kartboy shifter and front bushing

11. Tinted the sunroof(why would they make a piece of glass that big and not tint it?)

12. Took out the kartboy front bushing. ( It made it hard to shift and made the tranny hum. That's not good. Now it shiftes great.)

13. put on the F&R whiteline lat. locks on the swaybars

heres more in the last year

this was posted on 3-4-07

 

14. DRL mod

 

15. cubby mod and added boost gauge and oil pressure gauge

 

16. Got Ap with TDC stage 1 map for typhoon intake (very nice)

 

17. got '06 6 disc MP3 w/acc ( sounds better the the old stock. The music has more detail.)

 

18. installed Superpro standard poly lower control arm bushing( gets rid of the wandering on highway and more feel at the wheel. Turns smoother)

 

19. Stage 2 with a PDE up and Crucial shorty and tdc stage 2 map.( very nice power all over the powerband. Alot more off boost power.)

 

20. added 3" SS mandrel bented exhuast w/ 3" hi flow cat, 3" Borla XR1 as resanator and split to dual 2.25" magnaflow mufflers. This improved the power over just mod 19.

 

21. yesterday I install Cusco F&R lower braces to my Wagon. I can say it does make the car stiff. When I go over bump I hear less creaks and squeaks. It's even better in turn and hold line better with my other suspension mods.

 

22. I painted the lower half of the rear bumper to look like the sedan.

 

23. on monday my AVO Rear sway brace will be in.

 

Next I'm almost done with my "DIY FMIC". I should be done in about the next month if I get enough time. then I will be done.:lol:

I installed everything and now I'm done. I have a ACT clutch and LWFW waiting to go on when my stock clutch gives out. I really like my setup. I hit boost target of 20.5 psi @3300 rpms and hold 19psi all the way to 7k rpms.

 

4/17/11 update:

I had the wrong ACT setup(that's what I get for being cheap. ;) now I have a Clutch master fx300 setup. = pedal the same as stock , very easy to drive, holds well, and great daily driver

repalced my XO2 FMIC with my own Racer X FMIC . I won't make this an ad talking about how great it is.(Well it is. ;) ) LOL I get to put back in my foglights.

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/P1060535.jpg

Next I'm going to get the kit black ceramic coated like this one I installed on a customer.

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/DSCN0046.jpg

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/DSCN0048.jpg

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/DSCN0054.jpg

I'm going black because I have this JDM Tommy Kaira front end t put on ad I don't want the pipes to show.

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/DSCN0007.jpg

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/088.jpg

I'm sold out of kit again and I have to wait for my order to come in next month to send one out for me to get coated.

My 20G died so I got it rebuilt and upgraded.

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/P1060579.jpg

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/P1060581.jpg

It was a 20g w/ 2.4 inlet ans 7cm hotside. Now it has overbored compressor side with a clipped T58 Billet wheel and they bored the hotside and put in a bigger wheel. The old wheel had 11 blades the new one has 12. I haven't got a change to tune it yet but it seems spool faster. That's it so far.

Here is the JDM front end painted. I will put it on once I get my FMIC back in stock next month and send it out to be coated.

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/DSCN0068.jpg

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/DSCN0066.jpg

I'm glad my FMIC won't make me have to cut this front end to install my FMIC.

Not sure whether they still do this, but for the 2nd gen, Subaru actually had a plate that you could buy and bolt right in place over the hole.

I found this thread by searching... Yay. Any tips on removing intake resonator? I'd like to cover the hole which goes to the resonator, so should I pick up a plastic cap and some epoxy or what's the plan? Expansion plug?

 

A plug should be fine. Maybe you find a rubber plumbing plug that you can clamp over the hole. That way if you ever wanted to go back to stock you could unlike something more permanent like epoxy.
