turbo back exhaust will make the biggest difference for you. We put a TurboXS TBE on a STi not too long ago and it made nice improvement

I agree with scott a full turbo back is the best way to make power. That and a piggy back or reflash of some sort. (esp after an exhuast or other minor work)

New there is only one source and one price - Vishnu. You either like it and buy it or you find a different one you like as much and decide to go with its price. I like all of their proprietary stuff and have always bought it when there was not an acceptable alternative.

whats the difference between catback and turboback??
and what would u prefer?? [/B]

cat back replaces the muffler pipe and the mid pipe after the third cat - from the cat back.

turbo back exhaust (tbe) replaces the entire exhaust from the turbo all the way back - can be catted or catless.

header back - from the exhaust manifold back - i.e. uppipe and a turbo back

head back - well you get the idea now...
