  1. My Borla exhaust arrives next week so i'll have that and the CAI and I won't be remapping it. I will be buying a sports cat and down pipe in the future and i'll map it after that. All the gains are from the cat back to the turbo eg. Sports cat/decat, down pipe, headers etc.
  2. Yeh you're right. No map required for just a CAI. You don't "really" need a map if you add a cat-back exhaust with CAI. If you change the down pipe or and/or headers you will need a map.
  3. Not much from gains on CAI alone tbh. The standard air box is quite big and once you install a CAI, the dump valve noise is a LOT more noticeable. Changed mine just before xmas with a mishimoto CAI. You can get a permance air intake but don't go for that one. Pay the extra £50-£80 for the CAI.
  4. Ordered a hella-horn supertone last week. It arrived today. Will be installing it when my exhaust arrives and gets fitted. From the time of pickup in America to my door, it was less than 48 hours!
  5. Yeh i bought mine with them too. Still doesnt sound as good as they should.
  6. I managed to get some time over the weekend to fit the Rall Armor mudflaps. They look mint. Not had a chance to wash the car and get some decemt photos so I'm hoping to do that this weekend. Ordered a Borla Cat-Back exhaust yesterday. Should be here at the end of February.
  7. Yeh I forgot about the Impreza part lol. I ended up ordering the Borla exhaust from Nemesis in England. They will order it from the US next week and I should have it by the end of February. I could have paid an extra £200 to have it air shipped over in 7 days but I'm in no hurry for it. The weather should be a bit better in Scotland in 4-5 weeks so it will be ideal for fitting around then.
  8. I thought about shipping from the US but wasn't sure if I would need to pay a customs charge. A friend of mine got a gearbox sent from the US a few years ago. Cost his £800 for the box and £400 customs charge. Don't fancy having to pay extra if customs keep it.
  9. Hi all. Just wondering what exhausts people have fitted to 2015+ Impreza STI's? I like the sound of the borla system but can't seem to find anyone in the UK that sells them. Theres plenty of places for the 2014 and before. Who owns a 2015+ and has changed their exhaust? What you got and where did you get it?
  10. Cheers stuartie! Yeh we have plenty of snow up here. Not had the scoob out in it. Dont like the thought of it going somewhere it shouldnt haha! The snow is a pain, I wanted to fit my lip kit and mud flaps this weekend but the snow has put a stop to that.
  11. Jimmy, it was a local place in town that fitted the HU. They ordered everything and tried 2 different harnesses/modules and neither allowed the steering controls to work. Thanks for the link Pete. Will look into it and see what they say.
  12. Bought it in October 2015 and lived it since. Never had a subaru before so I thought it was about time I got one. It was completely standard for about 4 weeks 😂 Not done much to it. Installed the Mishimoto cold air intake last month. Ordered the all round lip kit from HT Autos last week and also a set of Rally Armor mud flaps from Tarmac Sportz. Going to fit them all this weekend hopefully. Replaced the number plate light and reverse lights for some 600k LED's which look a lot better. Just got to install the DRL LED's this weekend too. Next plan is an upgraded HU. I did have a poioneer unit installed by a place in Inverness but they couldn't find a module to allow the steering controls to function. Was around £900 in total for the unit and fitting but I had to go back to the standard unit. I want my steering controls to work lol. Not sure on the next plan for it. There doesn't seem to be a lot out for it yet. I guess it because of how new the model is, or I'm not finding the right sites. Looking forward to hearing your replies and any info on places to find new parts.
  13. Hi all. Thought it was about time I signed up to a subaru forum. From Inverness in the Highlands. Bought my first Subaru in October. 2014 (64) WRX STI. Great car and live driving it.
