Oh man, you really need to post the pic of your grin when you go out with hill afterwards to check everything and he tells you take a pull . I will be curious to see the graph, so get that thing posted when your done.

^^
When starting up and you state the windows vibrate, is the car actually in your garage?
How is it on the highway 60mph - 80mph? Can you drive around at a moderate pace without it giving you a headache?

got mine here (they price match).
Invidia Subaru WRX Downpipes - Bellmouth & Divorced - JSC Speed Subaru WRX & STi Downpipes

but with price a little better than
2008+ WRX & STi Exhaust / Headers - Invidia Subaru 08-UP WRX/STI With High FlowCat. Down-Pipe Free Shipping

I drove up in person, so there was no shipping.

Whatever walls are closest to the car it will vibrate. Inside the garage or ouside the garage. You can drive around with no headache, its kind of hard to explain at certain rpms it just roars and at times its very civil. I get the eye rolls from the girlfriend when it starts, but thats ok. Either way Im addicted to the boxxer rumble and would not even think about going back to stock.

Best of all, its sets my dads 06 sti alarm off whenever I pull up next to it or start it next to it. His HKS can't set my alarm off though...

BEAST!!! It must feel like a whole new car!

Man I'm so tired of Stage 2 that Hill tuned lol... Hopefully I'll get a turbo upgrade next year and I can't wait to see what numbers Hill can get out of a rotated GT35 setup

Also did Hill express any reservations about using a Spearco TMIC?
