Lowest possible backpressure and turbulence levels coupled with ultimate fit and finish. CNC-cut ½-inch flanges, high-grade 304 stainless steel construction, ultra-quality V-Band clamps, a close-coupled catalytic converter, a functional divorced wastegate bypass, a large muffler canister and careful pipe bending gives birth to the finest turbo-back exhaust system currently available for the WRX. No other exhaust system offers as broad a torque curve. Quiet during cruise and aggressive-sounding under boost, this exhaust system is for those who want maximum performance with minimal compromise. Available with or without high-flow catalytic converter.

Pros:
Sound, Power
Cons:
Bad for kits
Well I bought this used off a guy on the "other" board. I love the sound and power. It really gets rid of some turbo lag, I think that’s the most noticeable difference. But the problem with it is it mounts actually higher than the stock exhaust so for now I took my kaminari rear bumper off. I'm thinking about getting a muffler shop to add some mounts, but I might just have to go with a different exhaust all together.

Pros:
Great sound, excellent fitment
Cons:
Bottom right DP nut is tough with a cat in the DP
Beautiful craftsmenship and fitment. The V-Band clamps make installing this system super easy. Looks and sounds wonderful.
My only issue is that the bottom right downpipe nut is tough to get on because of the cat. There is no way to get my torque wrench with extensions on there. But at 26 ft-lbs, it's not tough to use brute force and a ratcheting offset wrench to get close enough.
Some people are like slinkies... They are not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Guys with cars like mine don't talk to girls with faces like yours

Pros:
Huge torque, great sound
Cons:
Expensive. Needs the DP heat shield to be cut
Huge increase in torque. Great sound under acceleration. A little louder than I expected under cruise, but not too loud (long freeway trips can get a bit hard). Looks great.
Note: it needs the downpipe heat shield to be cut to allow the fit.
