Your really not going to make it much faster than it is, im a suspension/handling junky so..

Personally I would start with good tires, then a rear sway bar, fr and rr endlinks, then maybe some sort of suspension, weather it be just springs to start, or a spring strut combo. Then I would throw in an intake and exhaust somewhere in between all of that.

It all depends on your budget and what you plan to do with the car.

Are you going to auto cross it? daily driver only? etc etc.

I disagree with saying you cant get much more power out of the Impreza,no disrespect, but you can make the car alot faster.
For sound and some power, start with an exhaust an intake.
If you get the right set up it will sound great. That all depends on what you like, there are plenty of posts with opinions to help you out. For more power there is plenty you can do depending on your cash flow.

 

It's expensive if you want serious power outta an 2.5 Even just breakin 200hp will take a lot of cash.

 

200 hp is easy. Cobb Intake, MRT header+cat, your favorite catback gets you in the ballpark. beyond that, it gets real pricy. Suspension is a much better outlook. You can make an RS the handling equal of any car out there, STi included.

 

also another cheap and simple mod is a pulley if you want it to rev alittle faster.

 

speed costs money mang, how fast do you wanna go?

 

Cobb intake- $270
Cobb mild cams- $499 +$500 core
MRT headers, incl. cat- $300
Pulley- $150 or less
Catback- $250-700 depending what you get.

 

Turbo it

 

yeah, that can be done correctly for just under 5k.

 

Hey Ban can you tell me where u can get MRT header w/cat for $300? or any one?

 

Forgive me, that's usually the shipped price of the catless version. However, you could get a cat added to the custom midpipe you'd want to go with it for less than $150 more.
