I was really impressed with Scooby sports/ Rally performance lineup of performance pars SO I sent them a message and asked them what sort of parts they plan on producing for the STI. heres what they Said:


Thanks for your inquiry, and for the thoughts on the STi Hunter package!
Many tuners push the WRX pretty hard, and don't take into account the
performance increase of suspension and brakes.

On the STi - we will certainly have the exhaust available for it, and are
expecting to see similar gains as with the standard car. The ScoobySport
system has really emerged as superb with low and midrange torque. We're
also working with EcuTek on performance ECUs for the car. If the new STi is
anything like the old STi (2.0 liter) then it will be in a relatively high
state of tune, but we still expect nice gains from the ECU.

Additionally, while the STi brake system is superb, we expect that
improvements in the system can still be had. We'll be working on our
favorite pad for the car, lines and fluid of course, and so forth.

Even so, the WRX is a superbly potent car - If you dont mind taking it to
280 hp or so and stopping, the longevity can be retained and you can make it
perform like even a 300 hp STi in the right hands, we believe. To push to
300 or beyond, for the money needed, you should certainly consider the STi.

This is good news! I was wondering how long I would have to wait to be able to tweak the STi.

Thanks!

 

BPM makes a downpipe for the STi model to bolt up to VF series turbo's. Although a little expensive, it looks like a really nice unit. But i can't see why the whole exhaust(turbo back) wouldn't be interchangable since there are many wrx owners with these turbo's. The cat-back should definitely be interchangable though along with many other parts.
