Well, AEM is the only one I've personally tried, and also the only one I've seen a dyno chart for.

I don't think you'll notice it that much. It's not like the car spends too much time in between 2 and 3k rpm. It was just something that bugged me. I had other reasons for getting rid of it as well.

I only regret installing an RRM testpipe when I had a header (RPW) and axleback (RMR). It sounded like complete *** and I ended up reinstalling my 2nd cat. I spent HOURS trying to move that o2 sensor bolt until I gave up and got an o2 sensor socket, drove to class, noticed that the exhaust sounded horrible, and promptly uninstalled the testpipe when I got home.

My worst mod was those damn LED pisser lights. Not on my Lancer mind you, but I definately regret those more than putting a glass pack on my '87 subaru legacy wagon.

I like my LED squirters except for the LED part. I originally bought them for the lighting but disconected it and left them in because they are bigger and chrome and look better the the tiny black ones.

I forgot to mention doing the Street Customs Short Shifter was the biggest waste of $35. I would have rather kept that money for gas because that shifter, along with the B&M shifter, don't do crap for shortening throws.

If you can't beat a stock wrx there is no way in hell you will EVER beat a 350Z or a G35 coupe. At stage 1 I killed stock wrx's with no problem. Haven't raced a 350Z or G35 coupe with stage 2 yet but im sure ill take those out too. Let me know when you get something nicer and you think is fast so I can smash on you with the turbo kit you say is 'not worth it'
