Just spoke with tech support they finally got the chance to diag my ecu and AP. Apparently some how when it lost connection while reflashing to stage 2 the AP was unable to make the ECU go into recovery mode which chris said was a first since about a month or so after they introduced the recovery mode feature they had not had a problem like this. So the tech is putting the ecu back to factory 07 sti settings and they were going to just send it back to me so I could have it hopefully by monday but I asked them if they could try relfashing it there and he said yeah but its so close to the ship out time that it would not get shipped till monday which I said was fine so as long as I know its not something wrong between the AP and my ECU and that if it does it again once I get it I know there is a connection problem with my car somewhere. (which if thats the case I am really not looking forward to that) What am I suppose to tell subaru hey by the way I was trying to modify my car all while voiding my warranty and for some reason I am losing connection can you help LOL. So I will let you guys know on wednesday I guess when I get it back. I might have it next day aired because they said if I paid the difference that they would do that for me.

Well the good thing abt the AP is that Subaru doesn't have a way to detect it other than downloading the map and comparing table values.

Honestly not sure yet I will have to add up my reciepts when I am done. I know its under 500 though.

ON a good side note my AP is on its way home Next day air so I shoudl see it tomorrow but I have school till 8pm so probably no updates tomorrow. Chris from cobb said it successfully flashed and unmarried and married itself so everything should be working fine when I get it. They also made me a very very happy customer byt warranty fixing everything for me even though I purchased it used. He said this was a ONE time deal because even if I intentionally unplugged the AP it should have successfully went into recovery mode and fixed the problem so they knew it was a product malfunction. Cobb is awesome in my book. Update as soon as possible I will be leaving town thursday after work to go to Reno for a sheetmetal competition I am in so no updates till next week. But I hope to finish it completely by then. I might try to go in way early tomorrow to get started on the muffler.

Here is a video I took last night. Unfortunetly it was so late I was not able to have someone ride with me to hold the camera and also get a outside clip too. This video does no justice to how loud this exhaust is outside and not only that at low rpms the sound resonates in the car so much you here some vibrations haha. I am leaving tonight for the weekend but sometime next week I will make a good video clip for you guys. To me with the windows up it really sounds like most exhaust clips I hear so I was kinda dissapointed in that. Maybe you guys will see it different I dont know. Again sorry its a crappy clip right now. Better in the future I promise.
