Not sarcasm...truth. Am I wrong that no one posted anything about seeing your dyno sheet on your STi. Don't be sad...get glad. Or something like that.

Already ordered borla exhaust, soon to order ppe headers, not going to bother with the intake as it seems the stock setup is pretty darn good

I THINK...someone can chime in on this, but if you replace the intake, you lose the sound that is generated by the secondary intake opening up past 3500rpm. So it's just loud all the time.

Why Borla? I think Joe Z is a better setup....

i believe K&N is the only intake that will lose the function of the secondary intake

I heard the borla with sikky headers from the other RI is-f owner and it sounded great but wasnt too loud. I like the sound of the joe z and theirs no denying its quality but im actually leaning towards quieter

It uses race gas to make the power it does...that would be extremely annoying. 5xxwhp isn't exactly all show no go. Car was recently featured in modified as mentioned and a few other mags
