Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Modifing the Injen (which is what i got) took about $5 and ten extra mins doing the install, And I'd assume that any 05 can be convert the same way

If you are just starting modding, I would wait on the headers. You wont get a huge gain without a cat and a exhaust anyways. headers along may just change the exhaust tone slightly.

not much point getting headers. our stock headers are already equal length. the muffler is one of the most restrictive part of the exhaust for N/A cars.

Yea, that's steel gray.

I used plasti-kote gold paint. Don't use that paint. The paint doesn't mix very well in the spray can, even when i shook it for 5-10minutes.

I'd sugguest any paint with the brand duplicolour. That's probably the most reliable.
I chose graphite or gunmetal to paint my wheels, but they ran out of that paint. So it was either bronze or gold, and I decided on the gold for the hell of it.

FYI, this is a time consuming DIY mod. Took me a good 10-11 hours.
It was kinda difficult cause it was windy and raining, even though I used my friend's garage, the wind kept blowing dust and what not onto the paint.
