although it's obvious to most... don't forget the basic parts when you get the cobb accessport. Don't forget a K&N high-flow air filter, fully synthetic oil and high quality gas. although terribly obvious, i'm a big fan of the accessport and want it to get the recognition it deserves.

Thanks for the advice, all of the above are already done. I just can't seem to decide on if i have the 1700 to put out right now. It would be nice to have but i can't help thinking i have other places that need that money.
I definitely think that is the setup im going with if i do get ECU/exhaust upgrades. Just wish COBB didn't have such a long wait for the parts.

Buschur Racing has a full 3" TBE on special for $750 right now. Mandrel bent stainless, bellmouth. It'll be loud but it'll flow.
I have a Stromung DP w/cat, Perrin uppipe, and STi take-off muffler. Cost was about $950 total and it'll flow enough for a VF30/34 upgrade in the future. Not to mention it's about as quiet as stock, just a bit more rumble. And it'll pass emissions too.
Bottom line is, no one exhaust is ideal for everyone. There are some that are overpriced, arguably because of better materials/welds/flow patterns. Some are cheap, but either not stainless, not bellmouth/divorced... If you're shooting for up to 300whp, you don't need a full 3". I'd say get the exhaust first, do the uppipe while the downpipe is out of the car, and worry about the accessport when you have more money.
