My WRX or clear trunk for your STI trunk.

[Clippersfan86]

Hey guys i'm looking to trade my WRX trunk for an STI one. I still have the WRX spoiler here in my house in great condition. I hate the WRX spoiler so for now I have plugged holes. If it's not too expensive I can pay to have holes filled in for you and we can trade that way if you STI owners feel like a lower profile look. The color it needs to be is the 06-07 Dark gray, not sure the name of the actual color.

Was I fooling around with my neighbors modded Civic SI, or just driving like a mad man? I got a new 400 dollar Radar/Laser detector so i've been testing it out hehe. I live right across the street from Inn and out so it probably was me.

Here is my WRX. I have no photos since I filled holes with black plugs and removed spoiler LOL. I can take some if you want.

I think it was the same color but the wheels looked gold/bronze with a chrome lip.

Haha. I'm experimenting with straight piping. So far just catback but soon DP hopefully. A lot of people on forums trash talked but in person you wouldn't know it's not an Aftermarket Catback. Except I only spent 80 bucks instead of 500 plus.

carbon fiber

Hmm was it an STI? There is this D bag STI owner that has all this badging, a gay looking carbon fiber hood with like 4 non functional vents and Bronze rims to go with the Dark Gray paint. He has an OEM Spoiler though for the STI so probably not.

Yea i'm open to carbon fiber, it's what most spoilers are made of that i've found. My thing is I just don't want to spend a lot of money. I was told by a few friends from this forum that a lot of STI guys want a more low profile look and will trade straight up is why I posted this.

[100_Percent_Juice]

STI guys usually want cash unless they are desperate for a wingless trunk. Wrx trunks with plugged holes aren't too popular though.

Yea which is why I mentioned getting them filled ; ). I'll probably just stick with wingless I suppose. I like the way the STI one looks but spoilers are mainly for looks and wingless looks fine. I won't be driving over 90 MPH often enough to wish I had an STI one if I can't find someone willing to trade.

I know what straight pipe cat-backs sound like. They were popular in stock class autocross nearly a decade ago. They sounded like tractors back then too, but they were light and cheap and legal in stock class (when there was basically one exhaust on the market, the $1200 Vishnu turbo-back), so people put up with them.

But now that it's 8 years later, and there are decent sounding, cheap, cat-back exhausts on the market (the Megan Racing axle-back comes to mind)... there's no real excuse to run a piece of drain pipe over the rear axle, unless your goal is to sound like a loud-ass tractor.

Yea. It's kind of a temporary thing. I know this STI that runs straight pipes and it sounds very pretty but then i've heard terrible sounding ones. I simply can't afford even 400 bucks for a good used catback right now LOL. I spent hours on Nasioc with 0 luck. You think my video sounded bad? You're a bastard BTW for mentioning it sounding like a tractor. I paid close attention and it does ; (..... God I hate being a broke ass. The one thing I will say though is until I go catless DP, it's still slightly quieter than a Blitz Nur spec R.

At least you didn't just remove the gaskets between the pipe segments and add washers. When I saw that people were doing that to their Legacy's, I knew the definition of rice.

HAHAH. A guy on Nasioc was swearing up and down by that telling me to do it. What I did is bought an STI axelback so I had full 2.5" piping then I had straight pipes put in catback. I wonder if it will sound good or bad when I do the catless DP lol. Figure 2.5" piping is solid until I cross 300 hp, at least that's what alot of you have said happened with you.

The catless DP is just going to make the straight pipe sound worse. You need some sort of resonance chamber to take the brashness out. The cat helps a tiny bit with that, so removing it will only make things "brappier".

I gotta think you should be able to find a Megan Racing cat-back on eBay or Craig's List for under $200...

Sorry I misposted and wasn't being clear. My Axelback is done and not the catback ( I think in my previous post I said Catback). I left the Resonator in so I could still have a nice sound. So I already do have a Resonance chamber in the Mid pipe still. I was going to do a DP next and see how it sounds.

[GusGus91]

I actually heard his exhaust today. It doesn't sound like a tractor at all. It sounds way different in person than on video.

[Clippersfan86]

100 Percent Juice I saw you a couple times an hour ago. Leaving Winco parking lot or something and once passing me and Austin when we were pulled over by CPH haha. He was in my car and we were seeing how bad my struts are. I think it was you because of the lip kit/body kit.

[100_Percent_Juice]

You might have seen me. I was all over today. Someone honked at me in the school zone on south meadows and it was a gray color 06/7.
