TRD/McGard make the exact same ones but aren't available in different colors for the 86/GT86.

Very nice, I'm waiting on my TRD ones.. Why not blue though?

Any sound clips of the STI exhaust? I'm sure that combined with a UEL header would give you the boxer rumble you're looking for. It's not the turbo that makes the exhaust bassy. It's the UEL header.

I was leaning that way originally, but ultimately decided on gold for two reasons:
1. Contrast - I felt the blue on black made it blend in too easily so it would be hard to actually notice the lug nuts. The gold works perfectly because you can still see them from a distance against the black face of the wheels. It's a nice little touch to draw your eye in to that area of the car.
2. Color scheme - in the end I wanted to add some of that classic Subaru blue and gold theme. It's subtle, but it adds just enough color without being overly in your face about it. I'm thinking of doing a brake setup with gold calipers eventually anyway to match the two areas together.

I've been meaning to, but just haven't found the right opportunity. Want to do it with a good recording setup so you guys aren't just left with crappy quality clips. I think 86fest will present a good time to do so

. For me, the tone is actually quite low. Doesn't rumble but growls aggressively enough without shouting at everyone on the way. While a header would be nice, its a mod that I feel is beyond what I am willing to do. Just trying to keep things as simple as I can.

With most of my major mods complete, taking a break and focusing on smaller, subtler touches. Big shout out to @yospeed for making me this custom license plate frame!

I'm debating getting an STi shift knob for my auto as well. Did you notice a difference in the way it felt when going through the gate?

Yeap. The knob is significantly heavier than stock, so you'll feel that difference going through the gates.

Yeah it's on there. I had the full front end custom (not pre-cut) wrapped with SunTek. All edges were tucked into the panels and overall there's minimal seams. You can only see it if you're actually looking for the edges.

HI,
I have questions related to the pipe.
Why you choose pipe from MOTIV over other brand?
Why you also buy their test pipe together?
