so youre looking for recycled car parts? I think the closest thing to getting recycled car parts is going to be buying it from someone that crashed their car

Not recycled car parts in specific... I am looking for companies who like Subaru, use a ecological or earth friendly manufacturing process. I am also looking for parts that do not increase emmissions of harmful pollutants but rather can help me save on my emissions by creating a great avg mpg, etc.

You should remove your catalytic convertors and go catless. That is help reduce harmful pollutants. Lots of companies out there make a catless turbo back exhaust system. Check out the Reviews section for which one fits you best.

thanks flipmode, and I do hope as energy prices rise more people become more concious of environmental factors that can help us not only keep costs down but also save the environment.

concious tuner? then i suggest you upgrading to a bigger turbo, in order to use more of the wasted exhaust gas heat and energy to convert it to more power. That way, you'll be increasing your car's efficiency, and helping the environment; plus u'll be going faster
and i do happen to have a GT35R for sale

If you are concerned about the environment why did't you just buy a Prius?
