100 dollar race? sounds like a good time hehe

intake silencer removal won't make the car noticably faster, just lets you hear the turbo and intake working. want to let me race the chump in your place and let me earn some extra cash? :D

Internet legend has it that its not a good mod for USDM STi's.

Something about increasing your intake flow when your wastegate is inefficient...

don't be scared. you're not going to break anything. STis are pretty strong... well at least in comparison to the wrx. grrr. i wish i had that tranny!!!!

yeh, not a lot of power. BUt you can hear the turbo spool a lot better. it sounds kinda mean. Pretty loud actually. i don't exactly like the sound of a boxer engine @ low RPMs... so i vouched on not doing it.

From what I've read, it won't do much for power. Maybe slightly faster turbo response in low rpm's, at most.
