i sold my 02 WRB rex, and picked up an 04 WRX Sti. i sold my BOV, exhaust, downpipe, and intake with my other car to the dealership. i was thinking about putting the same BOV on my STi, but was told from Subaru that i will lose hp. is this true? also, i wanted to keep my STi exhaust, but wanted to change the up, mid, and downpipe... is that a good idea? and what about the BOV. comments appreciated!

'02 WRB Wagon
STi short throw shifter
auto-dimming mirror/compass
Subaru bike rack w/Giant AC Air Lite attached
rear bumper protector
rubber floor mats
factory alarm
cargo mat
air vent filter thingey
Impreza car cover

Momo shift knob

I was right, that's a short list, all show and no go. Where do you guys get all your money, anyway? Or the better question, where does all mine go? (house, computer, bicycles, skis, groceries, cat food, wife's allowance, then comes the car budget...gas, insurance, registration, oil changes, tires for my truck, by then I have about $6.92 left over for mods that I just end up spending on a six pack )

Add a sedan rear swaybar, whiteline solid endlinks and Redline transmission lube

[batmanalan]

cool cars everyone, really.

One thing, if you have a turboxs turbo back please say it. Don't say TurboXS Downpipe, TurboXS Midpipe, TurboXS Racepipe, TurboXS Magnaflow axel-back. Just makes you sound like an idiot.

Stock, clear corners
