I've only had the Greddy Evo before, but I love my Stromung.

I can't comment on my review of a gain/loss of power since I changed a few other things when I put it on.

Are you going to become a vendor on here?

Hi everyone, my name is Richie and I am a sales rep for Stomung exhaust.
Misspelled Strömung?

Does Strömung have a web site now?
I am new to this forum and just wanted to find out what you think about our exhaust systems.
I think the WRX 3" catback needs a 'dimple' at the point where it comes closest to the rear differential. It makes occasional contact even though I'm using harder Kartboy hangers (worse with soft rubber hangers). A 'dimple' for clearance would not noticeably affect flow. Overall, I like the OEM-looking dual tips and I like the sound of the catback.

I like the OEM look of the dual tip, and the sound, not sure how much power I got just out of the catback, since the up/down pipes were installed at the same time.

I have it on my car (thanks to RussB for selling it to me) and I love it. Its very similar to the stock exhaust (in looks only) except the piping is much bigger . it has great sound to it...

I have a Stromung stainless steel mid-pipe along with a Prodrive axle-back, and my exhaust is a little drone-y. Especially in the 2-3k rpm range. I installed both pieces at the same time, so I don't know who the culprit is.

I have a Stromung Catback for my 2000 RS and I absolutly love it... it has a nice throaty sound and is louder then stock but not obnoxious... the quality of the welds seem top notch and the contruction seems strong I use this same car for Rally-X and have draged the cars undercarrage through some heavy gravel... only a few minor scratches, and had no issues installing it on my vehicle... I looks very stock on the car which i like for an exaust... plus I have gotten complements from local PD that the car sounds very nice compared to some of the local road racers...

I would love to see you guys make some headers for our vehicles... and i'm thinkin of gettin your hi-flow cats this summer...

Thanks for a great product

Dumb question, but would the Stromung dual tip catback/axleback swap between an RS and WRX?
