Some info on current Vishnu exhaust systems. If you need specific information on the Vishnu catback, I suggest you call them during their business hours.

Mainly determined by your driving habits, even with the VF34 and tuning. Hard driving is another story, though. At a track (road course), even a mildly modified stock turbo can get as little as 10 to 12 mpg because almost every moment on the throttle is under full boost. My daily commute usually averages close to 22.5 mpg. What type of fuel economy do you currently get with your stock turbo?

The WRX is the wrong choice of a car if fuel economy is a real strong concern. It will never achieve the type of fuel economy that other Japanese cars can achieve, for various reasons (AWD adds weight/drivetrain frictional losses, turbo engine low compression hinders efficient fuel use under light load, etc.). As has already been suggested, get another daily driver.

fuel economy isnt a major concern i was just wondering about how much i would but using if i was "pushing" the car and u answered that so thank u

and can sombody tell me how much it might cost to install the v300 or v350 package if i get it professionally done in a shop. I know its diffrent for every shop but im gonna go ask them, but i wanna compair it to other places so if u have any idea or how much it should cost let me kno so i dont get ripped off.

v300:
Vishnu Reprogrammed ECU Vishnu Power Pulley Kit
Standard Series Flex Up-Pipe Kit
Standard 3” Cat-Back Exhaust
Standard Series 3-inch Down-Pipe with High-Flow Catalyst

v350
Vishnu Reprogrammed ECU
Standard Series 3” Cat-Back Exhaust
Standard Series 3-inch Down-Pipe with High-Flow Catalyst VF34 Turbocharger STi 550cc Injectors High Flow Fuel Pump (not shown)

ps, i can do the ECU myself thats easy enough for me lol

thanks for all the info


edit: oh and one more thing, if i want to get my car tuned, what kind of shop do i have to go to. There is a shop around were i live called Vertex Autosport (i think) that does work on import cars n stuff, should i go there? and how much does tuning ur car help (after getting all the parts included in the v350 package) and how much would it probably cost
