That said, I've got a Blitz NurSpec with 2.25" midpipe and I love it.

I have to agree witht the Stromung. It's not too loud, unless you want it to be, and it looks completely stock. I haven't been followed by the police yet, and I used to live in Irvine (home of THE fascist police). I have a mild steel for about 2.5 years, but haven't had to much rusting.....yet.

I have the Scoobysport, I installed it with a strumund non-resonated mid-pipe and it is LOUD. Now it's even louder with the Borla headers....but damn it is the sweetest sounding exhaust set up I've ever heard.

I have the STI backbox with a custom 2.25in midpipe. I tried unsuccessfully to get a SS midpipe from Mike Shields (among others) and finally had a local shop make one. I didn't really notice much of a gain with my intake (PDM) until after I had the cat back installed. It's not much louder than stock just cruising and it sounds nice when you get on it. It's exactly what I was looking for.....................................Doug

What's the best for N/A, mild mods (no cams, no headwork)?
2.25"?
Thanks,

I've heard that before, good size for piping is 2.25" , but I never knew what the factory pipe diameter was (my car wasn't stock when I bought it).
If stock diameter is only 1.75" , then it might be a good idea to try 2" pipe, but if stock is 2", then that's a different story.

3" is way too big for non-turbo, I'll tell you that...

, it will absolutley ZERO effect on your warranty and will even pass smog. ALL cat-back exhausts are smog legal, and street legal as long as they aren't straight pipes or too loud.

I have the Apex'i N1 on my 2000 Impreza L Wagon. I did notice a little low end loss with it(but it is made for a 2.5 and i have a 2.2), but the up top gains made up for it IMHO. It isn't too loud and I love the poppy backfires it makes when I let off the throttle. I can't wait to hear it after chrismas when I can unwrap my Borla Header and Cobb Tuning highflow cat and get them installed.
Another note. Apex'i says that the piping on the N1 is 60mm, which if you do the math is about 2 3/8".
