well i picked up my 04 wrx last night and i love it. So anyway i wanna do a turbo back exhaust (im pretty sure i do anyway) are there any out there that actually will pass emissions? i was looking at the Heilx, Perrin, and vishnu's exhaust but it seems all of them are catless..

oh heres a bad pic i took last night of her......drove it ll night so i could get were crappy night shots

 

Congrats on the new car. As far as turbobacks go, i have the turboxs stealthback with high flow cat, mated to a prodrive axleback, and i love it. I haven't had to have it checked by emmisions, but from what i hear, as long as you have the high flow cat, it'll pass the sniffer and the visual check too.

 

MRT has a turboback with high flow cat. i dont really like the look of the exhaust tip, i would go with the TurboXS turboback or what DizzyWRX said and get the TurboXS stealthback and get a Prodrive rear section.

 

Cobb also makes a downpipe with a high flow cat but from what I was told by Cobb you need to heat it up pretty good before the test so it will pass. Here in missouri it will pass visual check with 1 cat but I dont know what it is like in your state. If you are concerned about passing the visual ask the people that will be checking it if it will pass visual with 1 cat. If you plan on keeping stock turbo most people here suggest a bellmouth downpipe and a divorce wastegate if you plan on a bigger turbo. Another thing to look at is a Cobb Accessport and an upipe first http://cobbtuning.com/wrx/accessport.html I dont know which would be better but you will gain 25 whp with Accessport (stage 1 of 2 with stage 3 on the way soon) and helix claims 15 hp gain with their upipe. I think you usually get around 40 hp with turbo back but you dont have to worry about emissions with Accessport and upipe (upipe cat is only for cold start). Turbo back costs from $800 helix to $1200 or even more, Accessport and Helix upipe is around $750.

Oh forgot to tell you congrats on your new car I like the WRC blue color, now make sure to cheer on Petter to win a second title.

 

sweet man..thanx a bunch...look waht happened to me today io the highway ...already damn new car gremlins

a car in front of me swerved to dodge a piece of tire retread forma n 18 wheeler...only to hit another piece which,, in turn, hit my bumper, hood, hoodscoop and came to rest in my windshield......3 day old car too...

 

That sucks atleast your alright.

 

i think somone is out to get me...im not allowed to be happy i guess

 

Thats a damn shame. This tire tread thing has already happened to like 5 people on the board.

 

my bumper:

 

oooh boy

 

the truck company should pay for the damage if you call them...

btw, the first pic actually looks nice and congrats on the new and hopefully soon to be fixed free of charge car

 

yea too bad i dont kow who the truck company was...that tire could have been sitting there for hours for all anyone knows...but, i am calling PennDOT (pA department of transportation) and im gonna make a huge complaint...the officer that assisted e yesterday told me they may be able to reimburse me for any money i have to shell out. SO far my deductible is 1000 bux (i never changed it from ym civic..and now im regretting it) so ill probably have to pay that then my insurance is covering everything else...i hope. Im going back to my dealer (4 days after buying the car) and asking them to quote me on repairs...ill keep you guys posted

 

I'm sorry man, it sucks that happened to ya.
