Our story begins at the First International Auto Show in Honolulu that was no more than two weeks ago. I was wearing my Blue STi hoody and of course, checking out the Subaru's and especially the BRZ (my wife is interested in buying one). A gentlemen who I believe was a salesman, asked me if I had an STi? After replying in the affirmative, he asked if I had joined iclub yet?
"iclub, what's that?"
"i-dash-club-dot-com. Check it out."
So I did. My name's Curve. Been a fan of Subaru's for a long time. My uncle owned two early 90's Legacy wagons which are still on the road, along with a 93 or 94 SVX that's rarely driven. My parents had a early-mid 80's legacy wagon and a BRAT. Finally got my head on right and bought one in October.. and went for a Plasma Blue STi. I love every minute I spend in that car.
Anyway, thanks for having me!

Just wondering if anyone has input, but I was looking into putting the SPT exhaust on my car. I wanted something that sounds more aggressive and will add to the car's performance factor, but probably down the road.
I've watched a few youtube videos and I definitely like the way it sounds. I've also considered a MagnaFlow, but to be honest, I know very little about tuning cars. Give me something OEM to fix or replace, no problem, but tuning I have no clue.
Also, would I need a tune after replacing catback?
Last but not least, I have the Plasma Blue Subie. Super Hellatones: Red, Pink, Silver, or Black? The blue offered was Rally Blue.. just didn't fit with the darker blue of my car.

As far as catbacks, I have an Invidia Q300 single tip catback installed. I like the fact that the tone is mellow during normal cruising and beasty when I get on it. I also have a catless downpipe and EL headers. My buddy has the SPT option and it is throaty imo at all rpm ranges. You can definitely hear it inside his car. I'll post a video clip of the Invidia when I get it uploaded.
Also, installing only a cat back will not require a tune. Only when you replace the stock downpipe with an aftermarket piece will you need a re-tune (most popular method is the Cobb AccessPort).
For the Hellas, I would go with black on the PBP, but that's my opinion. The choice is up to you. I have red horns with my black pearl. They go together well as the interior is black with red stitching.
Hope this helps, and again welcome to the club.
