OBX belongs on a Scion. Just playing... but really why cheap out on mods when you have an STi? You get what you pay for. I don't think anyone has one...

What he said and I don't think anyone has that. When I think of OBX I think of cheap, ricey, universal mufflers that need to be welded, etc. To each his own, if you like it, get it.

A TBE for less than $400. Man I'd be worried it wouldn't fit right, but hell you never know. It may be perfect

Dude, you have a fairly decent cat-back stock, a lot of the WRX guys want your exhaust. Just spend the money on a good downpipe, and take your time finding a cat-back. Come to the meats and check out eveyone elses to find the style and sound you like. You don't need an uppipe, the biggest mod for you would be a good downpipe. I'm still relatively a noob so if I am mistaken than let everyone else flame on. But I retain info pretty well and have listned to people in here. Don't go cheap on your car, take your time and do it right the first time. JMO

take it from a guy who has seen their parts first hand, they are crap! total crap!! spend the money on something that fits well and works. you get what you pay for. check for a local dealer who will carry obx, one maybe. nobody wants to be the dealer for crappy parts. i'm not saying you have to spend a lot, i'm just saying choose something worth putting on your 32k car.
