Default What exhaust is on this STI??

I know this is the Cobb turbo back but is this the RACE one or the STREET one???? I know a bunch of you are running this set up so thought you guys could easily tell me.

need a visual on the dp to tell if it's catted. the cat on the dp is the only difference between race and street.

I have the catted cobb tbe, and that one seems to 'pop' a bit more than mine when the revs are coming down, but i haven't had the chance to stand behind my car to listen. other than that, yeah that's the cobb sound while accelerating, sounds good.

hey, glad to help.

I got the catback about 6 months ago, just did a search online, can't remember which shop, i just bought from whoever had it in stock ..maybe slowboyracing or velocityfactor. gotta say that the catback alone gives you 90% of the sound, and the DP gives you a little more growl under acceleration and that nice pop pop pop on the downshifts - oh and 25 more HP.

got the downpipe a couple weeks ago from a shop on ebay that had them in stock, some acura dealer in CO.

BTW i saw a few cobb catbacks FS on nasioc last week. the DPs are usually on 4 - 6 wk backorder, good luck maybe the ebay shop still has them.
