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.

I'm going into Midas tomorrow, to swap on a Sti catback onto my 2.5i.
That should be interesting.
Btw, the Sti catback i'm swapping has already been modified to fit a 2.5rs.
Woot!

I went to ask an engineer who works in the dealer today. He said 06 WRX's cat back should be the same as 06 2.5i's.

No HP gains at all.
The only difference => Sound performance.

I just got the Sti axelback installed onto my 2.5i.
The catback did not fit.

FYI : This is a confirmation, that the STI catback does not Bolt on perfectly.
You require bending and welding of the flanges, and extending the piping.

I would of gotten the catback, but this was a straight up trade for my stock catback, and my stock catback didn't fit on the other suby, so we accepted it and just traded the axelbacks, rather than the catbacks.
