Questions about the Turbo XS RFL-Ti

I am ready to purchase a TurboXS RFL- Ti full exhaust package, but have a few questions before I buy it and put it on.

What's going to give me more power and sound better, the package with the cat, or the racepipe, and why is the racepipe package the cheaper of the two?

Will I need to do any re-tuning after I put the new exhaust package on?

I currently have a vf22, will that flow well with the RFL-Ti? I plan to put a 20g on come spring, any recommendations of what go together?

Will I need exhaust hangers to prevent any excess rattling or swaying?

Will I need an exhaust finisher b/c of the thick RFL-Ti cansiter, which might melt part of my bumper?

Sorry to bomb you guys all at once, but I really want to get this exhaust package on my rex ASAP

1. racepipe will give you better sound and give you more power.

2. It is cheaper because cats cost money, as opposed to strait pipe.
3. yes get hangers.

This is my contribution:

2006 WRX
SPT Catback Exhaust
Cobb Downpipe w/Cat
SPT Intake
etc...

Please note it was windy and that is some of the background noise you hear- in Chicago...imagine that.

Nice deep sounding exhaust with the right amount of rasp on WOT. My cheap mike in my camera does not do this combo justice (it is as deep as my old V8 Audi S4 with a full Milltek exhaust).


Thanks- Audio file below:

Yes...I bought the 2004 S4 new and it only had a few months worth warranty left when I sold last December-Audi S4s are not cars to own out of warranty (transmission is $15k, engine is $25k, oil change is over $200.00 and etc...). Bought a WRX for my daily driver and will buy a more purpose built fun car later while keeping my WRX (exige s and etc...). Meanwhile, I am sure that my WRX with the V39/STI TMIC and Coilovers will hand my old stage 2 S4 its a$$ in the twisties or straight line. I do miss those Recaros and interior...hear was a picture of it:

Well in all honesty its your opinion. My DP starts at 4" and goes down to 3" and has no cat. Just gotta be careful b/c after I installed it I smelled something in the ****pit and saw smoke. Since the DP is such a monster it was touching the A/C drain hose and started to melt it. Also, if you do not want the big wooooosh sound go for a recirculating BOV. That means the air goes right back into the intake, unlike an atmospheric BOV where it blows all the air back out into the atmosphere which will make the wooosh sound.

it actually touches the clip that holds the a/c drain tube not the tube its self.. u can just move the a/c to the right a little and remove the clip and it doesnt touch anymore....here is a pic of the downpipe its self
