Im looking for a catback and downpipe. Not sure which to buy. Im looking for the best performance while still maintaining a good looking exhaust such as HKS. What u guys think and The DP Cheaper the better. Thanks

Get a Fujitsubo Powergetter and a Invidia V2 downpipe and be done with your TBE!

Awesome sound and good performance.

If you like the HKS one why dont you get it. Cheapest DP prob is also the HKS one, but everyone says they are bad so.

Purchase a good down pipe its very important!

I would have to say that APS turbo back exhaust systems (downpipe+catback) are one of the highest quality systems produced. But my opinions aside APS , COBB , PERRIN are very good systems with the manufacturers very "subaru minded". But a Invidia divored wastegate downpipe and a hks catback would be nice also. Keep In mind Crawford makes some very nice products.

Have fun choosing!!!

PS Please be aware of the boost creep issues on 06+subarus
here is a thread that could be helpful

Downpipe question?

Personally I would stay away from the HKS downpipe. It's basically a gutted stock downpipe that is 3" instead of 2". Invidia is a good quality downpipe. I have the V3 cattless downpipe on my STi and I also have the G200. zmanoside, I know what you mean about the tip . APS systems are very nice as well as Cobb. Turbo XS is another good quality exhaust. check everyting out you can, find one that fits your budget, has a look that you like, a sound that you like, and one that you will be happy with.

Heh, just had this conversation today. Library is about 150 feet from the road, on a hill, and several floors. Another WRX owner referring to my full Perrin exhaust of course.

SKRYPAKswrx (7:52:24 PM): your car awoke me from a near sleep in the library this morning
Vew82 (7:50:34 PM): hahaha
Vew82 (7:50:51 PM): didn't think it was that loud
SKRYPAKswrx (7:53:15 PM): the damn thing is deep as all hell

I'm happy with the Invidia catted DP I have, and Scooby tuner gave me a good deal on it. I originally ordered a Helix, but that was back when Helix was backordered until the year2057. Scoobytuner kept me updated by calling me every few weeks or so, then finally after Helix wasn't looking like it was going to come, they gave me a good deal on an Invidia.

Thanks for the good words!

The Invidia N1 comes out at an angle then angles up a little. I had it on my ol bugeye and I really liked it. It had a really low throaty sound to it and it looked great. I got alot of compliments on it.

Just to let you know, I know a number of people that ended up selling their n1s because they got sick of how loud it was.
