WRX_JB's 05 wrx Spun a bearing, Full build inc...

Let me try and help. I think I have just about every path covered with my own car.

1st mods should be a downpipe and up pipe. Both could be found cheap. Pick your poison with DPs they are all basically the same excluding the HKS. HKS is a great choice though. its very cheap and works very well.

Upipes are where most people make a mistake. Get a stock STi up pipe. They work great on all stage vehicles and can be found for around 75 dollars. Bolt right up and rarely leak.

Catbacks again you needent be to concerend with power, as long as its 3" for the most part you will be good. I have an IPP catback I'm selling for 150 in great shape.

That setup with an MBC netted me a 13.2 @102 which is pretty fast for a barely stg.2 WRX.

Tanabe DF 210s should be on for lowering you car, they are affordable, have great spring rates and are ore compliant for daily driving.

Also, pick up an STi intercooler and honestly with just those mods you wont even know it was the same car.

Hehe, I would definitely listen to Buster, he knows his stuff. Glad to see you have the car you were looking forward to, Its a good color and seems to be in good shape. Good luck!

buster gave you a pretty good outline of the best first mods to do.... they're really the best mods to do period... after that it gets more expensive and you dont make as much hp per dollar spent.
if you're looking for a downpipe i have an aps catless downpipe for sale for $275... its nice, its aps, thats all ya gotta say really .

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction , ill prob do it all at once. I want uppipe (sti) downpipe (maybe trolls?) and then cat back (maybe busters?)

275+150+75= 500 sounds like a decent price?

[Scapegoat]

sweet. I suggest following a route that most people with this car do not take...

500 to put you at approx 245 wheel is good to me. PM if you want it, I personally loved my exhaust and it sounded mean as ****, also 150 for an almost mint 4 year old CBE is pretty decent.

You got a picture of it , or link to youtube vid?

They used to go for 500, it has been out of production for a while. I know of 1 other one in area. LOL mines better because it still has a silencer. I'll have it for another week or my cousin is gonna buy it. Personally, I'll be sad if I have to hear it drive away everyday lol.

yea that sounds about right. im at 241 right now without an uppipe. im slacking on picking that up just like im slacking on putting more money into my car lol.

how does it feel driving a turbo car now? i know when i made the switch i was finally happy. i fell in love when the first time i test drove one when boost hit.
