Looks like you'll get knocked back on the exhaust for too low, possibly too loud. Put a stocker on just to be sure.

That helps heaps thanks guys!! I'll do some digging tomorrow and hopefully book it in to go over the pits. How much is it to do that? I bet they shaft you. I've spent most of my remaining travel money on the car so I'll definatly take jzr up on your offer mate! I can drop it back to you once it goes over the pits. Thats a huge help! I can also pick up a stock exaust from silo's_sube. So does anyone know a cheap exhaust place that will chuck it on? I love perth but it just sux not being in the know when it comes to cars. This forum has been a huge help!

Mettams Mufflers are pretty Cheap and if its a plain exhaust swap then it should be no worries for them.

Sweet thanks again man! I went to the pits today just to get them to give me a rough idea and sounds like it is just the exhaust and bov but I am told I need the vent covers on and I only have the left one!! So if anyone has any spare LHS vent covers to sell or just borrow for a day?!

Instead of buying a new exhaust, you might be lucky and be able to bolt up the standard factory one to the centre pipe just to get it over the pits. Any workshop listed should have one lying around otherwise lots of members here would have a factory one they can loan you for free

Also the boost controller, either remove it or set it up to not go over 15 PSI.

If your on a budget buy the Possumlink ECU or the Power FC in the for sale section and get your car tuned.

A word of warning as well, DONT fuck around putting a pod filter or any oiled filter for that matter on this model of WRX - you will stuff the air flow meter and likely kill an engine.

Welcome.
