added a car to my collection.

05 sti
already bought some spendy mods for it
Utec, APS 3.5 exhuast, APS intake,SSR type c-rs wheels, Panasonic double Din indash, subaru's gauge package, Gt spec headers, forced Performance 20g turbo, ect..
suspension mods still to come...

lose the fart pipe

lol fart pipe....its APS 3.5 Turboback...Obviously you've never heard a subie boxer motor with exhuast....APS is top of the line for subaru parts

Thanks though!

they have a nice throaty mean sound. best sounding 4 banger out there

^ No such thing, and they look horrible. MO

thats one of the few "tuner" cars that is acceptable with that kind of pipe. along with supra's and 91 plymouth sundances.

any turbo'd car sounds good with 3 or 3.5inch exhuast....or with a supra sometimes 4"....

it looks better than stock i'll tell ya that much.

hawt

they need to make performance exhaust with the muffler hidden. I'm sorry but a car looks like crap with a big ass chrome muffler fully visible.

but other than that the car looks sweet as hell!

its stainless steel...

does mild steel look better....would you prefer that? lol

the exhuast actually helps performance....and it looks lots better than stock...

good thing i didnt post pics of my turbo manifold...thats Stainless Steel too!

Cars would be plain as hell if everyone went by what the ppl at oznium thought..

relax there dude

its missing one thing.......can you say gloooow

how bads your insurance?

i love the look of this gen sti over the current, but i couldnt bring myself to buy a used turboed car

im relaxed....i just think its funny they say full stainless steel exhuast looks "like crap"

i bought it used with 11,000 miles...from a 52 yr old...i wasnt too worried about it being beat on.

but yeah...on with the hating!

instead of fighting about it, lets get a sound clip mwc1 i wanna hear it.

STIs sound awesome with an exhaust system. I think it looks good.


And glowinpontiac was talking about any car in general with the muffler visible out back. Doesn't matter if its chrome or stainless or whatever. It would look better without the muffler visible is what he's saying.

teh ****.....*creams pants*

they should know its not about looks. its about durability and sound construction. you just cant beat stainless but if they want something else they can have it.

i put my money on stainless each time.....oh wait, i have stainless on the stang too

I have a stainless Magnaflow on mine

deffinatly my favorite import. i like the badgeless back.

Oh please, your car is two steps away from being stock. You want to see plain, look at your car. You new guys are such baby's, grow some balls.

Oooh, snap! Someone get Pork a Valium. Or a triple Scotch neat. Or a Valium AND a Scotch...

Seriosly though... that white would look good with a full "Stormtrooper" treatment, though... black-on-black interior (that gray with blue accents has to go IMHO in place of something with more zing and nothing's better than all-black leather... again IMHO)... tinted windows... every shred of chrome blacked out... blacked-out tails... Even black wheels (although I usually hate them, I like them OK on themed black-and-white cars).

The pipe's OK - I honestly didn't notice it either way until people started picking on it.

Finish it up with all-white UB lighting and cool white interior lighting to play up the white theme (too much or multicolored glow will totally blow the theme in my mind) and you'd have one hell of a nice-looking car.

Wish I could drive it!

PS - just because an older guy had it doesn't mean that it's not been driven and driven hard. Most of the REALLY fast guys I AutoX with are in their 50's or even 60's (lap times don't lie). It's the young guys that think all there is to going fast is having a lead foot. They spin out all over the course. Experience and patience, combined with knowing when to stomp on it and when to refrain is priceless. I'll agree though that a car like that in the hands of a young guy is usually a penile replacement, and more often than not (not always, mind you... but often) the poor thing would be beat to $#! after a few months in such hands.

My buddy John has a mint CRX with 24,000 miles on it. And he is one of the fasted guys on the x course here in Wisconsin. Thats the only thing the car is used for, runs in the stock class and has nothing but crazy suspension mods.

^suspension mods dont allow you to run in stock class, do they?

I believe its stock engine

I love STi's. The white looks damn good. The whole car looks hella good! I want it... perhaps me and losing quickly can heist it?

count me in on that heist too!

hmmmm....that means we have to go to North Dakota? What the hell is in North Dakota??? Perhaps, snow, bears and one WRX STI. Game on!

its not that the muffler is stainless, its that it is huge

i think it looks fine and if you put neons on it then it will look ***. and the sti is a factory modified model of an original car, just like an evo. most of the parts on the car performance wise are already built to a point where replacing them is pointless, so pork; sorry but i think whining about the exhaust is pointless and saying its the only "make fast" part on there. and again, dont put neons on it. that would look ***.

It's on the back of a Suburu tho, not a Civic or Cavalier.

Don't listen to them, the car looks amazing. I'm jelous.

these all have pretty big exhausts, but all the cars use them..




these dont

Hahahahahahhaha @ those pics JU OWND 4 BANGER WANNA BEES

come on that red honda badge adds 200 whp!

its nice, not my cup of tea tho.

I've seen some Civics that deserve having that size exhaust. Not many, but they're around.

noob pork?? check the join date....wait its feb 04...basically the same time you joined...

neons on a rally car? i dont tihnk so!

and as for the blue and black interior...its stock...the jdm spec c sti comes with all black interior...but i like the blue and black..

Also i do have black lightweigh SSR wheels for it...but its winter here so i have the stock wheels on with winter tires..

and pork...your friend with the crx with the stock motor and suspension mods....there is no way he can even keep up with any other car with his 80hp....or about 55 at the wheels... and in Autox the "stock class" is for stock cars...no suspension mods, motor mods. ect...

I'm gonna get an Ariel Atom and run in the stock class. haha

lol.....a guy here has a lotus exige and runs in the stock class...and gets beat still...

then again he's like 6'5 250lbs...and not built for the car at all
