I'm not sure how the price compares, but I am very happy w/ my exhaust from Vishnu. Sounds great, nice and deep without droning. Not too noticably different from stock in the looks department from outside the car.

it's also 800, that's pretty damn expensive for a catback but vishnu's quality is second to none.

sorry for answering for you stott

with a catback, you should free up somewhere around 5-10 whp.

Get the Greddy Evo catback. Not too loud, sounds great.

i'm guessing the stock sti muffler is a tad less restrictive than the wrx. But it should perform well for a catback.

generalwrx- yes it does, especially with engine management. plus it does wonders for the sound. 800 is really cheap for a TBE.

In general, for a catback, no. But if it's a full titanium catback, then it's worth it if you want to shed weight. Full titanium catbacks weigh around 10 lbs vs regular catbacks that weigh around 25-35 lbs.


But that $800 you were replying to was for a catback exhaust and a downpipe.
