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.

Hmmm, what to do next?

Hmmm, what to do next?

Well I've got $500 burning a hole in my pocket and I'm frustrated with the RS' lack of speed. Hopefully in the next few weeks, I'll be able to scrounge up some more $$ for stuff. So the question is, what to buy?

Current power mods:
Cobb Tuning Intake
Greddy EVO Cat-Back

Possible future mods:
GFB Pulleys
Borla Headers
Random Tech Cat
Cobb Street Cams

TWE headers are back ordered for a while, MRT does not end in the stock location, and I'm just not a big Brullen fan. Also I can keep the Borlas should I decide to go turbo. I'd go for the cams for sure, but the install cost is crazy. So I dunno, suggestions, opinions, whatever. I'll post what I get here eventually.

Get a Mr. Josh pulley and the MRT DOES end in the stock location for the muffler, so you can use the greddy muffler if it uses the stock bolting location, but not the midpipe.

Definatly get cams after you do headers/cats in order to get the most out of the cams, and you do get a bick kick in the pants with headers/cats from what ive seen.

If you can stand waiting a week and a half, bring them to the cabin next friday. Steve will be there early enough to swap headers a couple times. I'm working on getting some time off too so I don't have to fight traffic on my way up there.

Man you can't even get my name right. Naw, I'm still sick so I ain't making any long drives at this point. I'll probably be down there at some point. You can poke around and swap **** if you want.

WHOOPS!!! I missed the J and hit the K

Alrighty, some time I want to try it out though... Nobody has EVER put an MRT exhaust on a 1.8 as far as I know, so I want to try it
