Fair point, so cat back, summer rims for my summer tires, mud flaps for looks, and i think that'll be it for now, until my MFG runs up and i decide to go with it, or if a component fails maybe replace it with a aftermarket component down the road. Thanks for feedback, its nice to know from another WRX owner.

That seems reasonable. A blow off valve will likely never be needed. If so, go OEM.

Enjoy ...

I totally understand it, even though I did a lot of modding under warranty. It is a chance you take - some are less willing than others. Worked out OK for me.
