How does that exhaust sound? It looks great.

I like the rear skirts better than I thought I would too. I think your pictures help with that, very nice.

But what happened to the wheels? Back to stockers I see...

Those JDM rear skirts are growing on me. How are they held on?

Sound of the exhaust is amazing. Very subtle...almost stock until you get on it...then it screams like a bat out of hell.
I took the wheels off because I couldn't deal with the scraping any more and I figure I'm going to pierce the tire eventually. The wheels are the wrong offset and will only fit on a stock suspension car.

They are held on with the existing push pin that you can see if you look under your rear apron, as well as another screw on the bottom and one on the fender lip (where mud flaps would go), as well as a strip of double sided tape running along the edges. No drilling whatsoever.

Also installed '05 JDM rear skirts, again install was easy, took about 15 minutes.

Where did you get the exhaust from?

A local dealership was selling it used. You can buy it direct from Subaru for $695 or Mauro Motorsports.

Lucky! I'd think about it if I came across one that's used like you, but $700 for just the muffler that doesn't even have the STi logo is too much.

Quick shipping...and about 15 minutes after placing the order I received an email with a tracking number.

nice WRB. I wonder how itd look with a CF hood and trunk?

I like the rear also. very clean car!!!!!!!!

SuperB10 · 10-16-2005, 07:21 AM

Would mudflaps still fit with the rear skirts on? I just ordered a set of rallyarmor flaps and that would suck if they both dont fit together.

Looks hot by the way! I'm gonna order them now

I remember reading a thread a while back, and it was mentioned that there were variations of the muffler, some with completely different looking canisters - like yours. The one i bought is the JDM version, with the engravings.

And your car looks incredible by the way. The rims, exhaust, overlays, colour..Nice
