Does twin-tip stock look even matter? Have cops memorized, 'oh yeah, 02-04 WRX's are twin tip, while 05 is single tip' ?

Anything that LOOKS stock. Coffee cans are cop magnets.

I think it's more of a visual to the cops first before the sound or maybe both go hand-in-hand.

+1 Borla Hush, go the extra step and paint the canister flat black hi-temp like me, cops wont give it a second look

I got pulled over once for hush on VF34 wagon too. I don't see how folks consider it quiet. Maybe as solely a catback it isn't bad, but with 3" tip to toe, it's pretty mean.

co-sign on the twin tips being more stealth. my donut munching buddies tell me that their eyes light up whenever they see a ride w/a N1 angled single can exhaust. That'll get you locked in their sights big time.

and painting muffler cans flat black is a good tip. it's a very old street racing trick to hide mods from other guys....used to do that w/my friends' Hondas & Acuras back in the day. flat black BBQ or hi-temp engine paint works very well.

Finally, someone agrees with me that the hush isn't quite so hush. Thank you.

Well "quiet" is being used relatively. ALL aftermarket cat-backs are going to be louder than stock, and can possibly get you pulled over.

That said, Ive had 2 Greddy EVOs and a Hush and the Hush was barely louder than the EVO. But the EVOs dirty little secret is its 80mm piping necks WAY down to 2.5" in the resonators and the muffler! this is a big reason its so quiet, but if you want a real 3' exhaust thats quiet, go for the hush

I have a Vf-34 setup, STi up-pipe, Gruppe-s Headers, Helix catted down pipe and a borla hush with the resonator removed, I have never been looked twice at by a cop *knock on wood* My exhaust is so quiet that I am changing the turbo-back out for the APS 3.5 inch.

+1 vote for borla hush
