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.

go for it, expect some awful gas mileage when your o2 sensor freaks out and gives the engine 3x as much gas as needed :rotfl:

oh yah the whole federal offense thing. but you do gain 5hp!!!

the mileage will go up at first because of the increased airflow, then the o2 sensor will realize the cat deficiency...

Go buy a 3" cat for $20 and have some one weld it in. That way its functional, leagle and won't restrict flow. Your going to have one hell of a time getting that off.
