Default Which Exhaust?

Hi all,

I am looking at putting a turbo back on my 05 STi.
I am after decent power gains without being too loud - I want to keep the purr but I do not want it to be invasive. Also I am not a fan of canon mufflers, I would prefer something that looks pretty much stock..

Suggestions?
Thanks!

Would be a good idea to get the car tuned as soon as you can after getting the tbe fitted to avoid any issue's with the car running rich or lean.
Also you will not really reap the benefits of the exhaust until a tune is done.

To be safe...yes. Though if you don't thrash it you will be OK without an immediate tune...but from your post it seems that you want more grunt, so maybe best if you get the tune too...

All depends on the muffler. My Butler has an oval Magnaflow and is fine. (and no resonator)

Thanks everyone..
I thought the tune would be the best option.
Now the age old question, ECUTek or Verso? I have been recommended ECUTek. Or - should I try to pick up a complete second hand ECU like Autronic or the like?
