Craigslist... they aren't wear items so I purchased them used. There are tons of these items available on the forums, craigslist, ebay, etc.. Kinda silly to pay that much for new.
I laughed when I saw the wastegate is blocked off from the factory, horrible flow! No wonder the downpipe adds so much power, probably did that as an easy way to lower the power rating from the STI.

What TBE set up do you have? You have a divorced dp? off the shelf map, or protune??
Back to OP- I say go WRX. AWD is the best platform for a DD in New England.

OK that makes more sense. I was thinking there's no way you bought parts new and made that power. Used parts needs to be specified. LOL

Its a bellmouth I think they call it, its seperated inside though. Just a generic stage 2 map I downloaded.
Found a place local that will do dyno tunes so I may sell the Accessport and get a new tune from them and pretty much break even. If I go that route then I'll throw an equal length header, intake, and whatever else on before I go.

Agree, this thing can blast through a foot of snow with no problem. I was out on the road with the Jeeps during the snow storms, haha.

As far as power mods.....open source is cheapest way to tune them. All you need are exhaust and tune to make sick power. If you do mod, I would higly suggest upgrading internals....yes it's over kill, but rings are the weak link in making power.

Well another waste of gas and time for me...
Car had a couple small issues, nothing major so we sit to talk numbers I tell him what I am looking to get. He goes on to tell me the trade in value of my car in NADA is 13,300 but he is offering to give me 9000 LOL Does that even make any sense???
Guess I am just going to wait until someone buys my truck

Good luck with the search Marco. I landed mine for $12g's w/39k and all the options minus the Recaro seats. Completely stock. Found it on Autotrader at a dealership actually.

Krazy,
If you can get the funds together yourself (either in cash or your own financing) I would definately browse craigslist. Some awesome deals are out there! If you tell me EXACTLY what you are looking for, I'd be more than happy to look a bit down here as well.

Wish my truck would sell quick because I found one I am in love with for a great price in NY.
