    That my mythical vf39 can't breath through a STI axle back. May have an axle back for sale soon.

    lol, I could've told you that. Both the WRX and STI stock axleback's are a major airflow restriction when compared to, uh, any aftermarket axleback.

    I thought proven results came with dyno graphs.. :biggrin:

    Sorry my butt doesn't do graphs. Well it was still worth the swap. Me and shinenitelite swapped turbo back exhausts. Now I can just but a different axle back.

    My STi catback keeps me from boost creeping on my VF39'd WRX (plus it's not too loud). Best $0 I ever spent on exhaust equipment.

    I didn't have a boost creep problem though. I ran 17 psi all the way to redline.

    Hmmm. Mine is not Waiting to Exhale....runs just fine. If I were to replace the STi axleback mated to my Maddad catted Stealthback (3"->2.5") it would be for a Maddad Twin-Tip 2.5".

    I run it for a little more rublez but, most importantly to me, zero drone at highway cruising speeds.

    Pouring Bawls energy drink into your gas tank doesn't equal NOS... nor does it give you any... :lollol:

    Oval or round tip?

    Is it the one that GRD Performance or whatever has posted in the Midwest FS section?

    Its oval. Just search axle back in the classifieds. He wants like 250 for it. Doesn't look in that good of shape.

    In the midwest fs area...there's a vendor selling a round tip for only $100! I jumped on it, but they claim that they don't have a box to ship it on. Told me they'd keep me updated, and now they aren't answering my pm's or anything. ****ers...
