The front bumper looks like a aftermarket kit, just seems different (longer) to the standard bumper on a hawkeye, just something not right about the front,, Am no expert on WRX's by any means

Plus it has the new front, but I guess that could be a mod.

05 Front



06 Front



As it seems. (Damn slow laptop)

That would mean 2.5L instead of 2L correct?

Check the build date which is on the C pillar down the bottom when you open
the front passenger door.

If it's Sept 05 onwards (Dec 05) it will be an 05 Build but MY06 Spec.

*Oh and yep if it's an MY06 it'll be the 2.5lt.

Did you end up checking the build date to see what MY it actually is?

Sorry slow reply.

Yes it's a October 2005 build - so MY05.

Hopefully getting tuned in the next few days at MMS. And going back to stock BOV. Will post Dyno when I have got it done

That oval muffler killed the drone of the cannon a bit, but it's still quite loud - too loud for my liking,
Not sure of an easy/cheap way to quieten it, resonator?
