I don't know what $$ restraints you have, but I'd say you should definitely get the signature series exhaust. You already have an up-pipe, right? And the intercooler hose is a good addition as well.

Well I had to add an extra $300 or so to get signature and then instead of ECU I would substitute the XEDE.

But thats all on hold. I have something else planned now, possibly...maybe...hopefully...

Recently put on Vishnu's catback. I love it! Nice low growl, yet very quiet. Plus it looks stock, which was the deciding factor for me. Together with their uppipe & Perrin's hi-flow dp, my exhaust is flowing oh so freely now! The contruction of their products is flawless, and design is something to behold Go for the Vishnu

Were you also planning to purchase the XMAP tuning software?

For BPM, the company has not released or shipped any of their products to any vendors worldwide for the past four months. That's a sad fact; they make great parts. I'm glad I was able to purchase their up-pipe and turboback when vendors were liquidating them.

I've contacted every distrubuter of BPM in the US that are listed on the BPM web page. Many of the vendors no longer carry the parts; if not, they are liquidating the remainding stock. If vendors do have BPM in stock, it is only the shortshifter. subaruwrxparts.com is the only vendor that I've seen that has BPM products in stock besides the shortshifter (they have BPM tmic and inlet pipes).

If you really want a BPM turboback, give me at call @429-2854. I know a vendor that had one Mkiii turboback and one Mkiii catback, but this was last month.

Oh, and if you want to hear what the system sounds like, just call me and maybe we can meet somewhere. Just to warn you, the system is so loud. I have to wait until my turbo timer shuts off the engine because the sound will trigger my stock alarm system.

Yeah would get the software, just to have, not that I would ever tune or anything, but I might as well get it. I will stick with Vishnu if I do this, something else on the horizon for now, but who knows...

hey Chris Chris,

that exhaust isn't loud! You need to listen to a Tanaaaaabe or Blitz!! Those are loud and obnoxious!

.... and when your car is on with the turbo timer, and you set the alarm, ... do you turn off the A/C?? I never had the alarm go off if the a/c was turned off. The fan cycling on and off is what set the alarm off.

Yo Sean,

I never had the problem until I installed the up-pipe. I rarely use the a/c because i have a hard time seeing through the tint and also, I work in Waikiki were cops ticket illegal tints and modded cars; especially without recon.

The sound isn't obnoxiuos; it sounds a lot like a motorcycle with a whining sound. I only wish I had an option to quite the sound when I pass a cop.

Naw, way back in the beginning I had a silver/silver and within a week changed to Blue/Gold, but they didnt have 2 come in. I never wanted Silver/Silver cept for the first week. I think Jeff has me confused with someone else. I fell in love with WRB when I got here...
