Maybe they come with sprinkles?

Also, they're $350. Crawford's BPBs are $320 through Vishnu.

My guess is he is biased because they are from Puerto Rico...where he is from. And isn't the discounted price from Vishnu if you have already bought a tune from them or spent a certain amount of money with them already?

You get it from buying an OFT.

A decent front pipe gets you gains without a tune... removing a restriction in the exhaust doesn't require a re-tune for decent gains.

I got the OFT already. I am debating between a Catted Invidia or a Catless Resonated. Is the smell really that bad when you remove the Cats from the headers and Front Pipe?

Its personal preference, I was completely catless on my WRX and you will definitely smell the exhaust alot but it never bothered me. You notice is most if your sitting still or after coming to a stop at a red light and then the exhaust tends to blow past you from when you were moving.

Since you already have the OFT you should def get the BPB if you are NA. Get the bpb and run their bpb map and you will get really good gains.

For Front Pipe I will be going with an Invidia Catted because my headers will already be catless and I enjoy driving with windows down in the summer, I don't want the smell with going completely catless.

Thanks for the advice guys. I am leaning more towards the BPB. If I am not happy with the way the car sounds after the headers come in then I'll look a Catback or Axel-back. I don't want to deal with the smell going catless.
