I actually did get a few peeps to believe my car was a WRX instead of a STi. Ran a 03 Cobra, blew it's doors off, had the typical mods on it I/E/P/Chipped, at the end of our meeting he was like nice WRX

As far as attention from Cops I think it may of gone down a little but in another way a STi cost more so I think they just think we are more mature I guess. This is my 5th exhaust and by far the loudest setup, and with or without the big wing I do not really get followed around at least in Hayward and Castro Valley.
Last Friday I was in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View seen plenty of Cops on the road and no foul play. Maybe I am just lucky, I am glad I decided to put my trunk and wing back on. It gives my car more character I believe

Decided to run the cable on one side and the boost line from the Reader on either side of the window wash reservoir. It just sits there, hopefully it will not mess up, or I can just zip tie it like JDM Style![Lol](https://www.i-club.com/forums/images/smilies/lol.gif)

Finished product, I took about 2 hours total to do the job
Bought the wrong butt connectors so I had to manually trim the wire shields back in order to get it to work
At least I finished the job, I am going to post new pics of the re-do after they load.
Thanks for looking![Big Grin](https://www.i-club.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
