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.

Someone bring me up to speed on borlas

The sound WILL change as the computer learns the flow. It gets deeper and less raspy. Now if you have a leak, it's another story. I have always had a leak on mine. I have to replace the gasket everymonth because the flanges just don't meet quite right. And there is a pinhole leak on the number 3 primary. It causes my popping on decel. It's no big deal to me though.

I'd go with the Borlas and juice it up with that supercharger boost! yeah that'll be sweeeeeet! BTW whay supercharger system are you looking at? I've only seen one and they had to cut out a section of the hood and retrofited this ghey dome in front of the hood scoop to make it fit. do you have pics of the setup on anyone elses car (prob not). Good luck though!
They fixed that by moving the blower to the side, but I haven't heard if they've really improved it much since then. It was considered to be maxed out if you were making 240 bhp, which is just as easy with a turbo @ 6 pounds, and no less lag.
