I'm gonna be tuning my car after I get my exhaust installed. That's it. Personal preference though I guess but the rest of the boys here can offer technical advice.

Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

That's close to what my muffler alone is worth.

Glad I paid no where near that!

I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

Just that it is a lot of money to pay for no performance gain and the same sound as stock headers. It does look nice though.

Remus mufflers are worth about $900 alone.

So $1200 for complete system isn't too bad.
