wow looks good congrats man! I think i still gotta see these new ones in person because pictures don't seem to do it justice. Also i too say do not get a BOV. The way i look at it is some Japanese dude locked in a basement some where in Tokyo and has designed it to the T. The stuff i would change is stuff that they have to comply with. So exhaust components, and the ECM (the car out of the factory is set for a wide variety of situations, so tune it for where its home is.)

How'd you guess? I had to park in front of Koa Pancake House, on the very edge stall to go to Starbuck's. Parking was a b*tch. I need to stay away from everyone with this brand new ride, you know how it goes...

Congrats joe on the new acquisition
Im pretty sure he knows better than that, besides, he is not a n00b. Most n00bs especially coming onto the subaru scene, from what I've seen do that first mod. IMHO, we all go through that phase.

Thanks. You gotta see it for yourself. The bov joke is just to get everyone all fired up, lol. But as far as mods, a Cobb Stage 2 power package sounds like the first mod to do as well as a good AOS. Even for stock engines, blow-by somehow still ends up in the intake and TMIC. Subaru actually tried to improve their crankcase ventilation but it's still flawed, which is partly the reason for ringland failures, as detonation is caused by oil in the combustion chambers.

Welcome to the club, bro!
Actually bro, the STi still has the 2.5 liter with the unequal headers. It's just the WRX that's got equal length headers now. STi's get to keep that awesome boxer rumble!
