Very cool.. I love white STIs and looking forward to seeing yours! Ill be back to check this out!

[quote=WhyteSTI]Before pulling the trigger on the Cobb TBE, I went down and listened to it on a guy's 06 STI. That thing looks sleeper, but has a ferocious deep growl - loved it.

Heh, that was me! I personally cannot believe that there is a better sounding exhaust for the STi. Glad I helped in contributing to your decision making skills. Make sure you make a review on that head unit. I'm no audiophile so I need reviews from fellow STi owners.

Are you going to get your work done at Subracing? They did a great job for me.

TheLimitedProject · 10-02-2006, 08:12 AM

^ Hey, yeah that audio/visual experience of your exhaust did something special for me

Yeah, Blaine has been taking care of me, so I'll end up doing everything through Subracing. I'll do a lot of the installs myself, but he's going to do all the tuning and the really technical stuff.

i say you go 20g with a black fmic

Agreed ^^^, or stick with the top mount & go with meth. You will not be happy with a 16 or 18g.....save yourself the time & $$. Hear us now, believe us later.

Chris05STi · 10-02-2006, 09:56 AM

Amen to that brother, Meth Kit with a 20g and your set! Just need injectors, fuel pump, and a tune!

TheLimitedProject · 10-02-2006, 12:27 PM

You guys are all poisonous

After extensive research, talking to tuners, and reading the boards, I've decided to go for the FP 20g. More power =

Thanks everyone for making me spend more money - appreciate it

muahahhahahhaha

nice choice bro!

cant wait for your setup. you gonna go black fmic ( do et) or tmic?

TheLimitedProject · 10-02-2006, 06:03 PM

Right now, thinking TMIC... I know I won't get the same results as with a FMIC.

But, I don't know... I've read conflicting stories on FM vs TM... some report that there's no difference unless you're starting to get a really big turbo bolted on.... We'll see.

Anyway, where do I get a black FMIC?

***520*** · 10-02-2006, 06:04 PM

^ Aps Ftw!

JohnDoe1211 · 10-04-2006, 10:40 AM

If you really want sleeper you should also consider the V-mount intercooler.
V-mount is very effective as it shortens the length of the pipes from the turbo-intercooler-throttle body therefore giving you increased throttle response and spooling the turbo slightly faster. Process West has it in the works if your interested.

TheLimitedProject · 10-04-2006, 10:44 AM

Yeah, I checked it out on the News/Rumors sub-forum. It looks like a quality piece, but it's a very pricey setup for a pseudo-FMIC. $2,550 + shipping on MastroWRX.com and that's the only place I've seen it so far.

I don't need to spend that kind of cash on an intercooler yet... maybe if I was going gt35r or another BIG turbo, then yes.

JohnDoe1211 · 10-04-2006, 10:52 AM

May I ask what intercooler setup you are considering?

TheLimitedProject · 10-04-2006, 10:59 AM

I'm considering a few options... but they're pretty vague at this point.
It's going to depend a lot on how the protune goes.

Anyway, we've discussed three options:
1) Keep stock TMIC
2) Big TMIC
3) FMIC - probably APS

If I didn't have to, I'd hold off on getting a FMIC, but it looks like it may be the only option.

***520*** · 10-04-2006, 11:15 AM

do the fmic.
