lol, you just described Toyota's selling tactics...cookie cutter cars for the most part. That's how we sell so many cars. lol, although I personally don't get a lot of Prius customers.

I don't know how it is for those two, but I was told the EVO VII - IX had to run much higher boost to match the STi, so I would say the STi. However, I think many people complained about tranny issues with the STi???

STI's had ringland issues, AFAIK. Wasn't an issue for my old wrx. :P



Bought it today, and was installed same day.

^ first time I heard of that. lol. But then again, I never actively looked at the WRX/STi, all from what I hear around me.

How does it sound? I'm still looking for an exhaust system. lol. Nameless and Perrin are still my #1 choices.

Some of you must be on LinkedIn - right?


PM if you're details if I can add you as a connection.


Anyone also know of a Creative/Copywriting Internship that is available? A recent Advertising Graduate from SJSU looking for an internship/job!


Thanks!

My local dealership had a few stis come back due to Ringling issues Lol.

It's super quiet. Not much different from stock. Just a hair more bass to it. I get a lot of attention as it is without an exhaust system. -__-
