$67,100

When I get a quote for $1800 for an exhaust with 4 tips I'll buy it. Alas, I am $500 from there atm. Just dont like being ripped off because my mufflers sideways.

I may go the extra $ but am enjoying the car as it is for now.

when I do decide to get the exhaust or one becomes avail for $1800 I'll buy a reflash. I have paid for 2 Verso's before and have no complaints so of course I'd rather pay for that than an ECUTEK. But as said if it aint available I'll go Ecutec.

I dont think this is skimping for a car that is really just a work car.

AMERICAN DAVE whats CANBUS?
EcuTek isn't cheap no. I also haven't heard of anyone losing an engine to Verso either.........EcuTek on the other hand

Anyway back on topic. Are there FMIC's available for the 08 yet?

How exactly is he going "half arsed" by wanting a product that is of equal quality to EcuTek for half the price? Makes good economic sense to me..

Should be soon - Kevin from Processwest has bought a STi for himself, so I'd image he'd have a full range of products soon enough.

World One in the US have fitted a FMIC to their 08 STi. Pretty sure there was a lot of custom work done though.

Read somewhere that Perrin has one in the works. Not suprising really.
