How come non of your video's you rev it over 3500rpm? I can barely get an idea of how this setup sounds like. The other videos you have are after you have UEL installed which I don't want to hear that setup.

I like this setup. not that expensive either. Does the car feel like it has a bit more power?

That sounds so good! Our customers have been pairing the SP elites with Berk front pipes!

I'm sorry to dig up this thread but... Have you had any problems with getting pulled over because of fumes smell or other factors I'm kinda iffy about the front pipe because California isn't cat removal friendly
thank you

Honestly just go catted and save yourself the worries. When i owned my Subaru, a lot of guys would go for catless Down pipe but i went catted and everyday i drove my car for 5 years, i never was worried about it being illegal or having issues with police.

So personally, i know it's expensive to go catted, but in the long run it saves you the headache.

I'm personally going catted.

Not to mention you don't really gain much performance--if any--from removing that 2nd cat, and it also helps to get rid of rasp

I have the same setup... SP elite and straight front pipe except mine's a Tanabe. I don't find that it added much rumble but I'm working on getting a catted UEL header to fix that. The current setup isn't loud at all except when you first start it. Hopefully the header doesn't make it much louder, I just want a little bit of rumble.
