Soon to be added:
Blitz Cat Back Exhaust

I'm looking forward to going on some drives and meeting new people. Thanks for reading.

Welcome! Good looking car, but it looks like a WRX TR (no fogs, black plastic side mirror covers, 2.5i seats) and not a Limited to me though Limited came with a sunroof and leather interior.

Did the TR come with the Subaru 4-piston calipers too?

Yups, TRs came with 4 pots as well...it was pretty much a WRX powertrain/drivetrain/brakes in a 2.5i body, which also made it the lightest WRX by far, especially compared to the loaded Limited ones.

You would NOT get a tune Matt? How is a cop going to detect if your ECU is flashed or not?

It is always more about how you drive that matters; looking and driving like in the Fast & Furious will get you poped real quick (so I will agree with no mellon shooter exhausts or flashy body parts).

I thought only the limiteds came with the 4-pot calipers, and the leather and sunroof were optional. I guess my first post was right where it needed to be, in the "Newbie" section, lol.

Also, if you guys aren't for the Blitz exhaust what are your feelings on the COBB Tuning cat back? The Magnaflow exhaust that was on it when I bought it is really poorly installed. The piping looks like crap and I know I can squeeze more HP and better sound out of a proper cat back with some mandrel bends...

no worries dude, I just hope you did not pay a 'Limited' model price for your car.

As far as exhausts, the two most popular quiet and well performing options seem to be Borla Hush and Greddy SP2. Never had experience with COBB exhaust, but if it anything like their other products it will be quality. But plenty of people have went through same beginner modding dilemmas as you, so I would search threads here and on Nasioc to read up on the basics first if you do not want to get flamed for asking questions that have been asked and beaten to death a zillion times
