there was a chart floating around a while back from Turbo magazine that compared alot of the popular cat-backs on the WRX for sound/power/price, but when it comes to many ofthe good 3" straight through design cat-backs the difference is going to be so minimal your better off taking the other aspects into consideration(sound. price, appearance) in your decision making, just MHO

as for catted DPs, I would strongly advise finding one that incorporates a metal-substrate core instead of the older style ceramic substrate core. Ceramic substrate were great for the last twenty years but the new metal substrates are much more efficient and flow much better than the old ceramics, though they are a bit mor eexpensive.

the catted DP I like the best is the Helix, usually sells for about $400 with metal substrate cat, best for the money, again IMHO!

After my ECUTeck reflash my STi w/APS 3" TBE, the dyno registered a total 40WHP gain (over stock 218whp) on the first or second run after the reflash...I had to rush off the dyno, so no more tuning has been done yet. More HP should be gained after driving around for a few days and maybe a little more tweaking on the dyno.

I bought the Invidia DP and Cat Back combo and it is very well built. Looks bad azz and has the very best exhaust sound I've heard on any WRX or STI no BS. ScoobyTuner.com has pics. under the DP section.
