get lots of pics from all that is cool.
Be sure to go over to the Cobb booth and bug the shiznit out of them. I'm waiting on the '05 STi accessport. They say they are gonna show a new intercooler at the show too.

All I'm finding is individual users that like what they have and haven't tried everything else.
SCC used to be good for things like that when I cared about Hondas.

honestly its going to be difficult to find non-bias opinions on engine management solutions.
as for hardware like TBE and other bolt on items, there is not much of a difference that I have seen that make much more of a difference then another that would make a guide useful

I understand what you're looking for, but because the AP isn't out yet, the ECUtek for the DBW's is new, and the other options are piggybacks with somewhat questionable histories on WRX's, there isn't a lot of data on the management side. There are a large number of people in the Sac area with reflashes, and not because we're bullies about it; Nate's tuned Utecs, has a Haltech in the race car, has played with Links, etc; we can get Cobb AP's if it's what you'd like.
In terms of exhausts, it's so down to personal preference in terms of sound that objective data is hard to come by.
To be totally honest, give Nate a call next week when we're back from SEMA (or now, before we leave). He's not going to sell you a line about what's best, as we'll put on whatever you want; we've done a number of different STi exhausts so far and Nate will be able to work with you to get what you're looking for.
