    a high flow catted dp I am guessing. if it is the stock one I don't know that you would gain that much. plus can you reflash stage 2 then?

    I wouldn't go much further than stock without changing the UP (if it's a catted one...).

    I was under the impression that stage 2 got the worst mileage? I know mine dropped when I went to stage 2, but that may be due to the heavier foot that came with it lol

    I have to say my mileage increased more with my new injectors but it did also go up with stg 2.

    my opinion for the exhaust would be something other than the sti..its not that loud and said roooobles and ruuumbles are not very noticeable...check with blackozone..i think he has a similar exhaust setup on his 02 bugeye

    I have a Cobb DP and STi catback. When it was just the full STi setup, my car had noticeably more bass and rubles. With the downpipe in it now, it makes quite a bit more turbo racket. Unless your mom is looking for something loud, it's a pretty good setup.
