I would say for the price, its not worth it if you’re keeping the car stock. Get it if you’re planning to do mods. Thats just my opinion tho. But it did felt nicer after flashing their Stage1 while I’m stock. Adds a bit of oompf to it. Car felt quieter after the tune but that’s just me.

Update:
Finally got to install the inlet tube and the drop in filter! Install was a breeze. Only had a hard time removing the sound generating tube but other than that it’s an awesome install. I logged my Stock setup + Stage1 OFT tune so that I’ll be able to compare and see what’s changed Gonna do some pulls and logs later today and make some changes to my tune. Before: After: Also made sure it’s not rubbing with the belt Also, I just remembered i have an old pair of Hella Horns that came out of my previous car. I’m planning to clean and repaint it then install it on this one... Current state: Any ideas what colour i should do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update:
Just a quick update. First time driving the car after installing the mod, I noticed a quieter cabin (duh) and I also noticed that the engine sounds deeper compared to stock. My butt dyno did not log any changes so far. Will really need to update my tune files for this.

Just to catch up on some of the mods I've done, I also got me a Drift button custom made by A Car Guy's Garage (Link to his Website: Here)
Zenon (owner) was pretty good and very helpful with regards to customizing the drift button. Very friendly too.

Update:
I just received my Oil Catch can from the mail and I immediately installed. I got the ADD W1 Oil Catch Can V3. Installation was really quick and it came with a mounting bracket which made the installation a lot faster. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk

So recently I came across a DIY Ceramic Coat for cars. I got curious so I would like to try it out myself
I've been saving up with Ceramicoating my car for a while now but I always think I could spend that much money for another part. The product I'm using is Avalon King ARMOR SHIELD IX. It's a DIY kit that comes with all of the items you need to Ceramic coat your Car. I did get a Discount code that's why I tried it out. If you're interested, go to avalonking.com and use "JEDI25" for the discount I think overall, it turned out pretty well: Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk

Oh man 2024, been a while since i updated this thread (2019). lots of things happened since i last updated. but slowly building out the car still.
Here's what's been added to the car since I last posted:
i know it's not much for the past 5 years but modding this one is a sprint rather than a race for me. so far only been modding it with the best mod out there: maintenance. I am just glad i am still able to mod it even though my priorities have shifted Here's some pics for my future self to look at https://imgur.com/a/7jmUNLO

Update April 9th:
I couldn't wait until the weekend and had to install all parts the next day. Pretty much installed these today:
This is how I went about doing this:
One tip if you're doing this using only 2 jack stands, Jack up the car one side only (Passenger's side for me) so it's easier to access the Front > Mid pipe bolts. From there it's also easy for you to access the Shifter Mount. I also took out the old exhaust in one go: Out with the old

So i read somewhere in the forums that to reduce droning Subaru has a specific exhaust hanger that dampens certain frequencies but is only available in Japan so...
First JDM product from Japan! While im under there i might as well change the rusty and crusty mid pipe to front pipe spring bolts and gaskets
