FMIC on WRX... Kinda neat.

This is my buddies WRX, he bought it used with 24k miles on it. Got a smokin deal on it. He's put a Greddy Turbo Back Exhaust and all Greddy FMIC kit. Pretty neat to have helped him out with this. Not to bad, he's running about 16.5 psi.. runs low 14's. Got to give him credit though.. we all thought he was full of crap when he said he was gonna do all this work to it.


PS, the hood is damaged from a lifted toyota backing over him in a parking lot..

looks nice,

might be good thing if it's bigger than STI TMIC, but too much bends, and curves, shorter pipes will be better for performance,

I like how they look on the subbie's but the ones down here in South Florida are a little more flush to the bumper.
