Car Info: 2006 Steel Grey Metallic 2.5RS
Got my widows tinted a few weeks back.. just have to give her a good bath before I take some pics. 20% Rear Window, 35% on the sides. It looks awesome, from the outside its hard to notice that the rear is not the same as the sides. I opted for the darker rear to make the sides look a little darker as well as help block out annoying lights behind me at night =o)
Also installed a Kartboy SS last weekend. WOW what a difference that made.

Sorry for the delay, I got 14.8k for the Audi which was a lot higher than any dealership quoted me. As for my Suby, it's just the plain 2.5i wagon, no boost for me.... for now at least.

did anyone buy performance parts from rallitek. they got headers, exhaust, pulleys, performance chip thing, and intake.. just wondering if anyone got them and installed them and if there's any problems.
i'm thinking of buying the pulley from the site.. and probably headers in a few months or less. idk..

You can purchase the headers, but the 06' imprezas come with Equal length headers already.
If you want that 'boxer' rumble, you can purchase the borla headers, but you may lose that extra hp that you gained from your equal length headers.

I installed the Injen Short/Cold air. The only deference I can find between the 05's and the 06's is an extra vacuum line we have so I just created a T joint and plugged 2 lines into one of the vacuum line ports of the Injen system. 250 miles so far and no check engine light so it seems to have worked quite fine.

oh yeah, about the pulley, my friend said that it can put in an extra 5 hp to the wheels.. idk.. and he told me that if i were to put in sounds in my car w/ the pulley, the alternator won't get enough energy and the headlights will be kinda dim..
damn,.. i just don't know why all the subaru performance sites like cobb etc doesn't make parts for our cars anymore.

There are two options when it comes to pulley's Underdriven which are smaller then factory, and light weight, which are factory size just made of lighter metals. Underdriven will/can effect everything that they are connected to like your AC and alternator, while the light weight should have 0 effect on them, another thing that can help, to some degree with a stereo is to get some caps.
hope that makes enough since to understand
