Keep an eye on Ebay...

Spec out what you need, know your retail/wholesale prices...be prepared and when the item you want comes up for auction, jump on it...

Unless you have experienced a lot of transactions on Ebay...you will probably lose the first few auctions...unless you really stay on top of it and have a fast broadband connection like Road Runner...

I've seen foglight kits for the WRX come up once in a while at savings way below what you would pay at a dealer...

As far as exhausts...there are lots to choose from...come up with a budget and how loud you want it...that will give people a better idea of what you want...

I have personally experienced 3 exhausts on my STI...

1. Stock=quiet, but deeper tone than wrx or rs stock exhaust...sounds good, cheap.

2. B&B Cat Back...Deep, mean tone, Louder than stock, Expensive...paid $850 w/shipping from Arizona.

3. HKS Carbon Ti...louder than stock, quieter than my B&B, not as deep a tone, expensive...~$700 new...with shipping, more like the B&B price above...currently have this on (put it on last night)...

My suggestion would be to always look at the Hawaii I-Club for sale threads...people are always trading, selling, items...like me, I wanted a change in exhaust sounds so I was lucky to have run across this used HKS Carbon Ti...deals like this always seem to pop up at the most weird of times...

I just heard Col. Smith's RS*R Cat-back and that thing sounds perfect! Mean, low growl...if I were to get a new cat-back (knowing what I know now), I would get either the B&B or RS*R...they both sound similar, are pretty loud...but mainly, they sound really mean! I also like the fact that hardly anyone has either of these exhausts...

Fujitsubo RM01A titanium if you want loud. The APS 3.5 inch is the best sounding I've heard.

Guys, it's an RS...none of those exhausts would work. Gotta find RS specific ones. Ask the other RS guys like Haole Pino or Hangbot what they use.

You could start selling electronic merchandise by high jacking 18 wheelers on the highway in cars with green underbody lights.

dude... anything for late model impreza/wrx cat-back exhaust should fit ACTIONGIRLS car even though it's an RS.

anyway, I would either find an RS spec cat-back exhaust or I would just have one custom made for your car.

^^^What about the pipe diameter?

Anyways, I say get Roy's Fogs...that would be best.
