I bought a 2024 TR, with big Brembos, Recaro seats, short shift kit and STI axle backs, 2 weeks ago. Looking for OEM mufflet’s to replace the STI, I texted my salesman. He told me the TR is being replaced and that I should hold on the the STI mufflers to keep it original since it will be a very short production run option.

Anyone else hear about this, or is it salesman BS?

Salesman BS... I feel attacked.

What would be the angle?

Yeah, it's probably only a one year production run. I highly doubt it will ever be a collector's item.

Trade for a standard axleback and be happy with your purchase.

Exactly. Coming from a soon to be owner of a TR, I don’t feel it’ll be worth any more or less than any other ‘24 WRX that comes with the manual gearbox.

My dad did the same thing. Bought a 2013 BOSS 302 when Ford re-released it. Only like 2k made in his color and option combination. Owned it for 11 years and only put 4k on it. He sold it last weekend at a loss. Didn’t even call me first to ask me if I wanted to buy it.
TBH, only reason I went with the TR over the Limited is I wanted the Recaros and I HATE moonroofs/sunroofs. The Brembos are just a plus.

Why go back to the standard muffs? I'm looking to go the other way (standard to STi). Do you not like the STi muffs? Just curious if they have issues like drone, etc.

Performance cars have personality.. embrace it.
I hate the auto headlight strategy on this car, could care less about the eyesight system or the stereo system.
But throw this car into an off camber corner in 3rd, the electronic wizardry combined with the open diffs point the car exactly where it should go... is grin inducing magic.
