my first dragway run in the lancer
without a doubt i WANT to go with RRM... but i wouldn't be able to afford it right away. i COULD always start non-IC and then source piping and the actual IC--that would still be a bit cheaper.
i suppose i could always ask my friend for all his stock pipes and i could have the flanges cut off of 'em and welded to new pipes for my kit. he DOES have his stock up and down pipes since i helped him out with both... that might be worth looking into as well.

Since Nick is throwing around his opinion, I'll throw mine in too.
Get the non-IC kit. Everyone bags on it, but it's a great kit. Run that for a while, see how the car holds up, see how the power is, and if you decide you'd like more, then upgrade later.
Everyone focuses so much on having the Stage 2 kit from day one. You'll have just as much fun if you buy what you can afford and upgrade over time. I'd rather have an Non-IC kit now that wait and wait for an IC kit down the road.
haha... yeah right!
my original plan for the pipes wasn't to use the cat-filled stock pipes from the WRX but to take the pipes and chop the flanges off. i'd take the flanges to a shop with measurements and angles for pipes and i'd have custom pipes fabricated that would fit the WRX turbo but would be the correct length and whatnot for my lancer.
