Btw it's only the wrx not the sti.

Wow that's a big gain for a simple mod the standard backbox must suck. Don't want to spend loads I have seen a direct bolt on at scooby world for £300. So if just that and a remap can gain me anything close to 330 I will be very happy.

Hi Guys, I have a 2008 WRX Impreza hatch, I am looking to get some more power from it. I know I will need a remap after changing the exhort so might look at doing a few things at once depending on the cost of having that done. If anyone knows a good place around North East Lincolnshire for remaps and cost that would be a big help. So I have looked and see a few bolt on options, I really like the dual exit style like this: But dont hate the single one so thats also an option and less work as I dont need to cut the bumper. But as I am looking for power I would like to know the best way to go. Should I go to a custom place and have something made up say Turbo Back or Cat back. or get a bolt on kit. I have seen a kit on Scooby world that will bolt on to the standard system so I am guessing will not give much gains: http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_207&products_id=1439 as its only changing the muffler. But they also sell pipes to upgrade to 2.5 or 3 inch so that could be an option. Really just looking for power and I dont want anything to loud as its a daily driver and I do motorways a lot for work. Thanks for any help Alex

That sucks man, anyway these could be glued in? stop it happening again. Keep you eye on eBay for anyone selling some local to you and see if you can find them. I know people when I used to have my navara as people used to nick the spare wheel from under the bed as it was an alloy not steely.

Managed to reverse it into a little wall, to used to my navara. Not to bad just a little touch up to fix it I hope. Only had it a little over a week.

Nice sounds like a good car and looks good as well. Welcome from another new member.

I have a thought about it as a colour change and to protect the paintwork as this car is in really good condition. I would say go for it if you like it. You will stand out at meets and have a car people talk about. Remember it's not what other people think of your car its what you think to it. If it makes you happy your doing it right.

I don't see it done much but a friend of mine dose it and I made a film for him of a full carbon wrap on a sl55. Looked really good.

Well I like the sound of that :-D I thought about the cosworth filter is that the best way to go as looking at the intake its already got a cold feed and a nice closed system. As for the exhaust just going for a better flowing system? I do fancy a twin exit style system.

Thanks yer I havent spotted anything on it yet, the misses says she found some stone chips... I think she was just being mean. The Alloys need a clean up so will be painted or replaced as I am not sure I like them and fancy something darker. Shame as the tires are almost new so might not change them just yet. Yer these subaru people seam to be hiding all over the place, watching you....

Thanks, it's a daily driver so carnt really decat due to mot and so on. I was thinking: Turbo back exhaust Upgrade to turbo And remap Maybe a front mount as well EIbatch springs And some better alloys. Also if there a benafit to dump valves? As I seam to read bad things online. Not sure how much that would give me but looking to keep the car very drivable but would be nice to get into the 280bhp club.

Yes that was me :-D

That's not a bad price I fancy something like that for mine so good to know an idea of price.

Fixed the squeaking parcel shelf with some black felt. Not very exciting but had to start with something.

Hay, I picked up my Impreza last week coming from a Navara pick up so glad I am not the only one coming from commercial to Subaru.

Yer your going to be right I have moded every car just starting from a strong bases this time. Just need to find some ideas and learn about the car to make sure I don't wast time and money or worse damage the car.

All fixed thanks for the help. Now need to look at other mods. Not looking for anything to crazy but nice to be running a bit more power than stock. Where do people normally start with this car? Most of my normal mods are done on this car from factory. That said I don't like the alloys so they need changing.

Thank you. Very helpful. I will get sorted later today and hope I can fix it.

Yer jay got it. Like when I used to look for parts for my old civic it was an ep3 so made it easier to search for. Thanks guys :-D

Might be a stupid question but what is this middle refered to as online? Just need to know what to google when looking for bits.

Thank you, will try the wheel arch plan, yer I had mtech on my last car I still have some h11 and h4 bulbs shame I need different ones for wrx. I will take a look and see if I can see anything on the turbo. Thanks Alex

How can I tell what turbo is in it? Thanks Alex

Nope not me haven't been on the a16 today. You have photos on here? Will keep an eye out for you

Was going to pop some LED's into the sidelights to match the HIDs but they are harder to get into than any car I have ever had. The manual says take it to subaru haha crazy.

Thanks I will try that. I wondered where that was going when I read made finger puppets. Alex
