Yes. You can have them either stock height or up to 25mm lower. They are available for sale, but too expensive to ship in Canada/U.S. I am located in Europe.

Oh car looking lovely as always! Yeah hopefully things improve soon and life goes back to normal.
I'm actually in a dilemma....and noticed you got the STI Performance muffler. So for the WRX STI, there is also a performance muffler.....I'm not sure if i shoud go with that or go Fujitsubo Authorize R again..... I just don't want something very loud, and it seems like most exhaust are loud on the WRX STI... So that being said, I see you love the STI muffler.....but i can't see the pictures, they all down haha

About sound levels the STI performance muffler in the BRZ is not very loud. There is a really LOUD growling when you first start the engine from cold, but after the noise goes down to almost factory levels. I was seeing the same behaviour with factory performance exhausts (Porsche) when I was living in Germany. You could hear the exhaust in the whole square, but just for a fraction of the second when the engine was started. A louder noise appears also when you engage 1st gear in town in start and stop traffic or during hard acceleration from 2k to 3k RPM. In these cases you'll be definitely noticed by other drivers, but as I said it is for a small fraction of time and then it goes almost to factory levels! The loud noise is not only about the noise level, but also about the sound frequency with a nice deep bass sound. After 3k RPM the bass sound disappears and changes to a more race frequency, but again only during hard acceleration. Otherwise you might think that it is a factory exhaust. On the highway and above 3k RPM it is a bit louder, but the difference from factory levels is again small and it is not really unpleasant. After all you want to hear something, right? On the performance side there is no change at all. I measured some acceleration times (20-60 mph in 2nd gear) and the before and after times were exactly the same! The only difference I can see is a bit better launch which helps a lot with my lightweight flywheel. If I measured a 0-60 mph time, then I believe I would see some very small improvement ...

Have you ever heard the TRD exhaust? Any idea how the sound would compare?

I need to do something about the feeble stock sound on my new one and really liked the TRD but thought I may give something else a try. If the STi has about the same tone but is just a bit quieter it could be an option.
I know there are many aftermarket to choose from but I like to stick to the manufacturer parts when I can.

Thank you for the awesome write up! I do agree with you, and I will go ahead with the STI Muffler, once I sell some extra wheels I have and use that money on that muffler since it's very expensive haha. I'm not worried about any performance gains. I just want to replace the stock muffler since it's rusting already and looks super cheap.

Tires are getting 6+ years old and I am preparing to change them. I have the Advan AD08R and looking on the Advan A008P tires. Size will be the same 205/55R16. I'll post pictures when they are mounted. Latest picture of the car with the STI exhaust.
