2007 Subaru WRX STi

Ordered this at the end of last week. It got delivered last night

OEM Car Cover was delivered yesterday.

Also found this used Cobb catback on one of the FB groups. I use to run this on my '07 WRX and liked it. I will be taking off the Invidia Q300 catback and sell it.

Cobb a little louder I’m guessing?

Bit tamer if anything. No?

Should be the same loudness. I think when I go aftermarket downpipe it will be quieter with the Cobb.

The tip on the Q300 is larger than the Cobb. --- 101mm/4" (Q300) vs 88.9mm/3.5" (Cobb)

Cobb Catback has been installed. Invidia Q300 has been sold (to a buddy).

Car Cover tested

Headunit Installed.

Are you happy with the exhaust change? Noticeable difference?

There is a bit of difference in tone/sound but not much. I like the smaller tip and smaller muffler on the Cobb vs the Invidia.

Curious to know, without looking it up, what difference upgraded subframe bolts would make.

Per the vendor:

It is common for the rear subframe to have excessive movement under lateral loads, and Kartboy helps to relieve this issue with their Rear Subframe Lockdown Bolts. This kit includes a pair of bolts that are installed into sleeves that will keep your subframe locked in place without the risk of affecting your alignment among other things that can happen once our factory subframe bolts come loose.

Drove the STi at lunch yesterday since it wasn't too bad out. It's been a few weeks since I drove it due to the cold/shitty weather.

That's funny! Wingless Trunk is getting cleaned/buffed right now

 

[bauer311]

The forum needs the pics tho!

Wingless Trunk will be detailed tomorrow. It has an older STi badge on it and he is going to get a heat gun and debadge it.

Picture of the side of the car for you @bauer311

I can't take credit for the detailing work. I pay people to do it. I don't have the patience or skill or want to detail vehicles. I have the time lol
