    Me three!! LOL

    I am jealous of the 17x9's though. DPT's? I was looking at something like that but the offset is not what I had in mind.

    Nate welded in a resonator. It is EXACTLY what I wanted. The rumble is definately still audible and the exceleration sound is just about the same but the drone at 60-70 is just about gone. Thank you Nate!!! The welds were beautiful.

    I know it needs a drop. I've got STi springs, just waiting for the rest of the suspension parts to show up.

    Should I paint the lips? Blue to match? Black? Leave em alone?

    Installed an MSD ignition and boost gauge (thanks Flatline) in my Legacy. It purrs like a kitten at all rpms now and I can watch my measly 8 psi boost until I have time to install the electronice boost controller.

    Ahh the OEM boost gauge. I have the same one, it is actually a very good little unit. The only issue is that the light in mine is very temper mental and goes on and off whenever it wants. I guess that is what happens when it has been bounced around for a couple years (might be an issue in the rally car).

    Replaced fog lamp bulb and removed intake silencer (which was a little bit of a pain since I found that there was an extra nut behind the fog lamp that wasn't mentioned anywhere online). Now I need to go get some of those pesky plastic rivets replaced so everything is nice and tight again. Definitely liking the extra growl and hearing the BOV for the first time!

    You have to roll the fenders with those new wheels? I thought they were only 7" or 7.5"?

    Yeah, but the offset pushes them out a bit. I'm just being overly cautious. :biggrin:

    where is the rez placed in the exhaust? my exhaust just has the catted dp and no rez 3" back and it drones bad just going down the highway at any speed... I sorta want it a lil quieter when I'm not on it...
