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.

Stay away from headers, period.

If all you will have is aftermarket intake and some exhaust....don't bother with headers. Headers won't be any use to you until you have a lot of other stuff done. Trust me, you'll end up spending atleast like 3x more on your supporting mods for headers than just the headers alone

Hey,

I just re-read what I posted, didn't mean to sound like an @ss.

I have maddad catless header w/ corresponding uppipe, but that's only after I upgraded my turbo, injectors, oil pan, oil pump, oil pickup tube, etc etc. An aftermarket header is a great choice for power gain and spool up, but be prepared to spend some money on them.

I think you'll be fine with your intake and axleback for now. Are you running any aftermarket downpipe/uppipe? Or is it all stock? You really should considering making an investment for a catless downpipe/uppipe, or at least a catless downpipe to take advantage of your exhaust/intake, just my thoughts.

Let me know how it all turns out!

06, and 07 are the same. You could always just got to a muffler shop and have them fab you up a cat back exhaust system for cheaper
