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.

hahaha i see you're very anxious!
Can't wait to see you're pics!

I just ordered a pair of Osram Silverstars H7. Should be getting them in the next 1-2 weeks.
Hope it improves the brightness of my lights.
I'll probably order new high beams and fogs if these silverstars prove worthy :P

My milage has been good too, 31 mpg on the highway coming back from Jersey, cops everywhere so stayed at 65-70. The build quality is clearly superior to the Sentra. I had several mods on my Nissan but the impreza I like the way it is. Maybe some pulleys and some suspension work next year but nothing too drastic. Everyone that had driven my sentra and then the impreza unanimously chose the impreza.
What a coincidence...bought a regal blue 2.5i through them about 3 weeks ago after my outback died.

Car Info: 06 impreza 2.5i
wow finding equipment that fits our car is killing me.

right now I just have a 2.5i crystal grey with fogs and spoiler all stock.

since money is short, i'm not making that much as a coop at GE, I'm trying to do cheap upgrades that's going to give me more power first. Probably lower my car and get new rims/tires later. Get more power, keep the car clean. I was driving my roomates a4 1.8T that he tuned to 215hp. Its got pretty sick pull, I want my car to have that. So first thing to do is finding a cold air intake that fits, and a good exhaust.

I contacted cobb tuning, and the good news is that they are developing the AccessPort for it, the bad news, only god knows how long thats going to take. They also told me that they only have 3 parts that fits. The cat back exhaust, pulley, and rear sway bar. I'm considering the exhaust for 645. Does anybody know how good it is? or recommend something else? and if anybody finds a cold air intake that fits, let me know!

06suba can't wait to see your ride! get those pics up!


haha yea and good luck breaking in the engine andy. you have to hold back your urges and let carollas beat your car. i almost buckled.


edit. ok i talked to justin from cobb some more and he suggest to see if borla had headers, which they don't. and if random technolgies had high flow cat, they have it for 05 RS, im contacting them to see if it fits 2.5i. hopefully i can find the parts to for a full exhaust.

There's one of the cons right there- can't help but rev the engine righ up there to 6k rpm, probaly somewhat bad since the car only has 55x miles or so on it. The other con(probaly related) is that I've only gotten 220 miles out of 3/4 tank of gas, but then agains thats probaly my driving style. Otherwise, looks waayyy better than the last gen of imprezas.
