Anyone know of any local shops that might carry Stromung CBEs for an '06 STI?

I don't know any shops.. But I got to say that Stromung are sick... My roommate got one for his acura TL and it sounds nice! Good luck with the search!

I used to have a stromung on my 2.5RS back in 2000... It sounded really nice, but even with the dual tip can, I still got pulled over twice for it. They simply said it was too loud, and it was... Not denying it. So those of you that thing that a stealth can will get you out of trouble, it's not true. If you're spewing out loud noise, you're going to get busted eventually.

I now have a huge melon shooter on my 07 STi and cops don't even think twice because its really silent at low revs unlike the stromung When I open it up though, then its louder then HELL! If I keep it under 2800rpm, its really silent, thank god.

Ever think about a borla hush? Its not very hush, but quiet enough to not get you in trouble at low revs.. It looks almost stock and like I said, not THAT loud. Its still loud when you open it up, but much quieter then a stromung.

Damn, I wish I could get away with the sound of a stromung... They really do sound great.

Getting pulled over for mods is kind of my main fear. I know my wing already draws enough attention, and I have my front windows tinted (barely -- but enough), so it doesn't take much for them to notice me. The problem is, I heard the Stromung and omfg it sounds so good.

I'm not particularly attached to the idea of a Stromung, and I'm definitely open to suggestions; I'll see if I can find some good videos of the Borla Hush and see how it sounds.

Thanks!

Ok, found this video with the Borla Hush on a stock 2006 STI (like mine!):



Sounds pretty good, and sounds a lot quieter than the Stromung. I guess the real question at this point is if any local shops would carry any of this stuff in stock.

Awesome, thanks! I'm hoping I'll have one before then, though.

I have to disagree with you on this one D. I've had my Stromung TBE for 80K miles, and had a Prodrive oval tip for about 20K miles, live in San jose, drive all over(san mateo has been my commute for 2 years now), and NEVER been pulled for mods. Only speeding tickets.

I wonder how much of that is where you live, how your car looks(Like the fact you have a wing and your 2.5RS is covered in WRC vinyl).

I've driven in several cars(wagon and sedan) with cat-less borla hush's. Compared to my wagon (when it was catless) with the Stromung TBE, the Stromung is noticeably quieter than the hush.

For quiet exhaust I recommend keeping your stock 3rd(02-05wrx)/2nd(06+wrx) catalytic converter, get a shorty downpipe, and either stromung or prodrive cat-backs.

When I worked at Goodies Speed Shop we kept a Borla Hush - but that was 5 years ago.
