Chris05STi's 2005 OBP STi Journal (Black Betty) Full-Race Goodies Ordered!!! - Page 143

BillFromTR · 03-08-2008, 05:53 PM

That vortex gen looks good! I was gonna pick up the ebay version but concerned about fitment.

Chris05STi · 03-08-2008, 07:35 PM

Bishop - I have an Invidia Version 2 Catless DP waiting to go, just need a heatshield and dp - turbo gasket. I like the sound, the rumble is there, but hardly as much as the STi. Its to me, hardly a loud rumble, but def better than stock. I think once the DP is in, it will sound really nice.

Bill - Fittment is a hit or miss on any company you go with. Seibon was a PITA to deal with and their batches were whack, the one before this one was about an 1 inch too short......what sense does that make?!

Bishop · 03-08-2008, 07:57 PM

yeah i ran OTS 91 AP map, catless invidia bellmouth and hi power on my 03, was pretty loud, sounded good though

uncle lewie · 03-08-2008, 10:48 PM

You cleaned up the exhaust real nice.

That generator does look sick.

Chris05STi · 03-09-2008, 06:26 AM

Bishop - Sweet, yah I have the Cobb AP Ver1 for the WRX with Street Tuner. I only have the catback, Stg1 flash, and a K&N Cold Air Intake. In the future I will prob switch the CAI out with APS or something better, maybe get unequal length headers and a up-pipe to free the flow up. Later down the road, throw on Pink STi injectors with the VF39 and call it a day for the daily driver.

Jordon - Thanks, its really coming together, I have secret plans for the front end though, when thats done along with the Ings+1 rear bumper, it will look like a monster.

car's are looking great chris!

All black, a detailers nightmare

munky69 · 03-09-2008, 07:58 AM

the 2.0's don;t sound quite the same as the 2.5 with a tbe. i can usually tell if a bugeye or sti/newer wrx is rollin up by the sound 9if they got exhaust). the 2.5 sounds a lil meaner. i never really noticed till my brother pointed it out

Bishop · 03-09-2008, 11:10 AM

Agreed, the STi sounds more aggressive... and yeah.... Chris jesus, thats going to be one hell of a daily driver.... lol

Chris05STi · 03-09-2008, 04:59 PM

Bruce - Do you have any self control, its the awesome trait we have from our caveman ancestors!!

MorePSiTehBett4 - Thanks, yah its tough, but aslong as your clay, compound, and wax, it comes out nice, and when its clean its all worth it!

munky - I know, I heard the same difference with the Bugeyes and STi's. Thing is, I hear more of the turbo whistle with the Bugeyes, than the STi's. Can't wait till the DD is like that ahah.

Bishop - Thanks, yah thats all I want, a nice DD that can kick some ass and be tons of fun to drive anywhere. Why be boring and plain like all the other cars out there? I strive to be unique.

Chris05STi · 03-09-2008, 05:21 PM

Bruce - I don't think any of my projects could amount to the level yours is at....I wish I even had a built motor! Can't wait till yours is all ready to go!

Bill - No problem, hope it all works out!

2 Projects, I would try 3, you have provided alot of the research for almost every part I have ordered. So make it 3 projects. BTW, remember what you said you wanted to get today. I think I am thinking the same thing, since no one will take my Bucks I have. It even comes with the sharpie part

Kiro · 03-09-2008, 08:01 PM
