I seriously contemplated a wrx, especially being in CO. However they are quite a bit more expensive, and get nowhere near the gas mileage. Now that my Si is supercharged I'm really glad I didn't buy the wrx.
Those results don't seem out of line with the difference in power between the vehicles. If you really wanted a fast car I don't think a Civic would have been a great place to start.
I've got the UR 3" downpipe with cat and the stock exhaust, sounds fine to me at idle. Can't really hear anything else over the supercharger the rest of the time though. I can't see it not helping based off removing at least 1 cat, and the shape of the downpipe. The stock pipe has a 90degree...
I'll have to see how many of them I can hunt down pictures of, but it's a long list and I'm probably forgetting something

Installed my mount today, all of the noise the downpipe was making hitting things is gone. Really easy install, kind of amazing how much movement the other mounts allow when you remove just the rear. A lot of vibrations on first start-up but after ~150 miles today it already seems to be getting...
Well now it's a 3" catted dp, intake, and a supercharger with a 3.15" pulley. But at the time it was just the intake and downpipe. I think the flashpro and a tune would be worth it, I don't think any off the shelf map would be worth the money.
Downpipe is probably a bit shorter or longer than factory, shifting the exhaust a bit. I'm pretty positive mine is hitting the steering rack, ordered/waiting on a rear motor mount hoping it will solve the problem.
Same bolt sheared off when I installed mine a couple weeks ago. Any issues with the dp hitting the steering rack, or did you already install that rear motor mount?
I flashed the map that they include with the flashpro till I get my supercharger installed. I'm not impressed with it, hesitation at random times, a bit of knock. I wouldn't recommend it long term.
