Hey JC, I too am coming from a Jeep so I'm sure I can share some of your pains, lol. I have a 1999 GC Limited 4.6L that I cannot wait to donate. The final straw was when my heater core went for the second time after only 6 months. The Jeep has been nothing but problems, and although I respect its performance and capabilities, I will never buy Jeep again.

Welcome. The downpipe question is oft asked, and I'll give you the same answer I always give: read read read. There's lots of good information, and there isn't a "best answer."

As for a shop in NJ, look in the northeast regional forums.

Welcome! I personally would ditch the intake till you get tunned. Stock cars don't really like an intake. As for downpipe I would recomend invidia,maddad,or helix. Their all good companys just prefference really.

Engine management might be the single most important thing when modding an STI with power mods. Remember that and you will be ok.
