Turboback Exhaust
Im soon to be getting an sti and i was wondering the best over all turboback exhaust with best gains and sound. My wife said she wants a loud one so it doesnt matter what it sound like

This setup is good and pretty cheap
Helix high-flow catted DP (or catless if you prefer)
Borla HR-1 catback
My favorite setup below is just way too overpriced ($1750):
Vishnu Signature Series TBE (Catted or not)

ok im still a little interested in what is the best exhaust witht eh best GAINS and sound will come i know. So the Borla HR-1 catback is a good setup? Also will i lose power by going catless like turbo lagg or something like that? The reason i want a good exhaust is cause i heard that it is one of the most important mod to an sti. So if anyone can give me some more info that would be great thx.

As for down pipes, I would have to agree there is no better DP for the money than the Helix ones, and arguable exclusive of price as well. I personaly would stick with a bellmouth design, the twin outlet design likes Vishnus theoreticaly seems the more logical design until you actually see the way the DP mounts to the turbo, theres just no way the wastegaste gasses will all go straight into its seperate pipe, what happens instead is you make a large reversion chamber in the area between the DP and turbo. Also the Vishnu uses a ceramic substrate style cat which is old tech compared to the higher flowing metalic substrate cats found in the Helix, cob, random, and others.

So its a good idea that i go catless? U know maybe im a little confused how many cats does an sti have, and where are they?Do all the aftermarket exhaust come catless? Right now im driving an 2001 acura integra gsr with all basic mods done so im so use to honda-acura and NA setups. I never really got in to turbos, so any info about the car and anything i should be warned about now would be great. yes i am a noob. To u guys like highflow cats better or catless...... period.

I would never recommend running catless since its socially irresponsible, especially nowadays with the availability of hi-flow metal substrate cats the difference in power is less than ever. And also I dont know where you live but its BIG trouble if you get caught here in Cali without one!

Same boat as egan. He is correct. I also had to sell when I got my STI.
Kakimoto: I remember an issue of Turbo performance that rated this set up with the highest hp and tq gains. Where did you get it? It is ultra lightweight albeit a little loud.
