Got my Helix catless downpipe and prodrive axle back on the car this weekend, 02 WRX.

Sound is burbly, deeper, slightly louder than stock at idle, mean as hell when you open it up. Can definitely hear the turbo scroll along with the exhaust note.

It pulls harder and smoother through the entire power band, even off boost. I no longer have to downshift to second when accelerating from ~2500 rpm in third, has enough sack to get up and go on its own now.

Oh yeah, and the other event is that my wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl on saturday. Our first.

Guess that means the Cobb reflash is on hold for a while....hehehe.

Congratulations... on the new found power.

 

congrats on both accounts


you should get an up pipe :P

 

Thanks guys.

I do have an uppipe. I had put in Vishnu's stage 0 when I first got the car. Everything but the unichip stayed on. Chip and ecu kept fighting each other....
