I will taKe pics of the car tomorrow when im doing the exhaust. I have not installed any of the body parts for two reasons, one winter time is unpredictable, ppl go slipping and sliding and can slam into u or u into them. and i don't want blacK body parts on a white two tone car. I'll document the exhaust swap but i"m shocKed at the pipe size.. right now I am looKing at a set of tein coilovers for car... Made my offer awaiting response.

Sound system installed... RocKford fosgate RF2002 with a JL Audio 500watt 10" sub in a sealed enclosure, more than enough.. Tint next thursday. 5%. Pics tomorrow chardy afterworK if u see me online remind me.

forester exhaust is probably less than 2", you won't get much of a power with the sti exhaust. It feels almost slower downlow but top end is happy
Image
The STi exhaust is 2-2.5" shorter so it has to be extended or you could extend ur cat by that much, which is what I did since I didn't want to compromise the integrity of the stainless steel, I simply welded on the flange from the Sti cat. This will also allow me to just bolt on 3" downpipe right on there with no issue.
Image

There are 4 hangers, 3 of which will fit the STi exhaust and hold it securely, If you have a hitch remove it as I did or simple bend the exhaust hangers so the exhaust seats lower. 2hrs tops to do the install. Sounds sweet deep throaty tone at idle factory sound while reving. 2.5" will be good for the EJ20 that will be sitting there soon combined with a FP turbo.. Yummy. nice on the eyes too
Image

Just won these on ebay... tein coil overs for the SF5 so finally I'll have a stiffer ride and get rid of the rear sag. Will be here soon.

Need to get 24mm sway bars, front lower control arm, rear suspension arms, then alighnment... Wanna go fast and corner sick as well, stiffer shocks and springs won't cut it, ride in a car wit a sway bar (stabilizer bar) kit and you won't just drop ur car ever again

Got my coilovers yesterday, looks like the car/suv or whatever it is may be a lil lower than I wanted, I suppose I'm gonna have to get used to it. Gonna have the front lower than the back, by a lil bit get rid of that sag in rear. The hood is on as well, got a few wrx, scion and cobalt ss owners looking confused. I'll post pics once I get the car washed tomorrow salt all over!! :(
