Update pic. I redid the tail light overlays and got darker ones, fully debadged it, and also put on the NP ABE Muffler delete (3'' Dual Wall Staggered tips.)

Yeah the GTI's are very cheap but wrx all the way! And I like my overlays; they look better than the stock tails IMO. They're pretty easy to install too and they're cheap (got mine for $45)

Ordered a Tomei Expreme Catless DP from Rallysportdirect. It was $245 shipped! I love Black Friday. So should be here this week. Also ordered a Cobb intake but I'm going to let my family give that to me as a gift for X-mas. And my Cobb AP arrived today, just waiting for 2013 support which will be released at the end of the week.Stage 2 here I come!

So today I went to Stage 1! The power increase is incredible. My Tomei Catless DP also came today. I'll be putting it on tomorrow and will subsequently go to Stage 2.

I must say, after a week of this setup (Catless DP w/ Muffler Delete) I hate it. Sure it sounds real nice when you get on it and you're having some fun, but for everyday use it's just too much. My cold starts sound like a diesel truck and it just attracts too much attention IMO. So I think I should ditch the muffler delete and go for a more conservative catback. I don't want quiet but I don't want ear deafening. I think a Q300 with my Tomei Catless DP will be a nice alternative. From what I've seen the Q300's are fairly quiet until you get on it, which is what I want.
And here's a video of my cold start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4iwZEMvyXI

It sounds good but too loud for me

That is... really loud. I've driven around with a loud car, and it's definitely cool part-time, but I wouldn't want to commute or DD with that setup either.
So, I put the stock mufflers back on and I like it a lot more. A lot quieter but not too much.

I got the Q300 Ti Tips and put it on today! It sounds great! Install took a couple hours or so. I'll put pics and a sound clip as soon as I can.

Debadged the front. A lot cleaner IMO.
