Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

stromung highflow cat vs random tech highflow cat

are there any difference between the two? their price is very similar, random techs are CARB legal (I think) and I am not sure about the stromung. Is one better than the other, or there are no difference at all?

I've never really heard a debate over what high flow cat is better than the other. So I'd say just go with the one with the better price.

yes random tech is carb legal. A lot of people seem to trust random-tech; I haven't heard too much about stromung's.

You can get virtually any size cat you want (inlet/outlet/body length) from Random. You'll pay for it, though. I used a Dynomax on a 200bhp Neon and had no problems whatsoever with the quality of it. Jegs sells them exceptionally cheaply. Like $55 for a 2-1/4" in & out 14" cat. Weld your own bung, of course.
