how many miles are on it? With the CAI I wouldnt touch...they'll make the engine run lean

from what you've said it sounds poorly modded (CAI and a cat back??) sounds like the previous owner was more of a Honda Boi, so I wouldnt trust the car

just a cai and an exhaust won't mess up a wrx engine. they already run pig rich under open loop and the ecu will compensate under closed loop.

a mbc or ebc can cause much more damage.

you might want to head over to autowest and see if they have a silver bugeye there for sale.

rumor has it that car still has a VF34 and supporting mods on it that the dealer doesnt know about, but you didnt hear that from me.....

EDIT:
it also has: Rota SDR wheels, HKS turbo timer, KVR brake pads with a couple thousand miles on them, will have a newly painted front bumper, new windshield, etc. LOL
