Down pipe is 2 1/4" to glass pack to pipe out of left of car
intercooler from 1G dsm $25 (not on yet , -10 temp for the past week who the hell needs an intercooler)

From your title I thought you built your own WRX.

Save your money and don't get the FMU. Get real management, it'll save you money down the road

Added premeum fuel and a can of octane boost today. Looks like it helped, can't here it ping any more. still need some type of management in the future , near future. Next is some real exhaust The pipe out the side and burnt out glass pack is just calling for trouble!! Still can't believe how much power 4psi makes
