Cool 06 STI Modding Time!!!!

looking to do some modding to my car need some opinions on it. exhaust is huge and i was thinking about just doing the cobb stage 2 power pack quick and easy, or running a different set up with the blitz nur spec r cat back like a down pipe/ up-pipe combo w/a tune. your opinions??

Let me know guys,
Thanks.

You can run any dp and catback you want as long as its going to run the same map from a cobb apv2. Btw I'm going to be posting a jdm cusco dp and jdm fujitsubo power getter catback for a pretty good deal and can install it if you buy it. Let me know if ur interested.

^^^ this. Plus, you don't need an up pipe as the sti doesn't have a cat in theirs.

I would highly recommend the Cobb Stg 2 power pack. The TBE exhaust fits outstanding, it looks nice, and best of all, its not super loud. Really important for us here in cali as the cops are dicks. Atleast they are here in Sac. Its no a big Coffee can looking muffler and is very discreet looking, and sounds bad ***! Really big power difference VS stock obvioulsy, and you can really feel the added torque. Also nice as well with the AP you can change back to stg 1 and put your stock DP back on ver easy when it comes time to smog.

I love my invidia turbo back setup. g200 cat back with the V3 downpipe. sounds awesome, really great torque and power gains with a stage 2 map, and looks good.

Invidia FTW

I'm running a Maddad Whisper, and I never had issues in Cali. For noise anyway. See what the guys who track at Laguna use, strict noise limits at that track.
The whisper has a smaller tip than stock. And I swear I have the quietest STI on the island when mellow. It does cost some power though. Hit Ed up at EQ Tuning if you get a chance.

I love the sound of the Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust but I would be careful if you lived where cops are **** about exhaust noise.
