    Check in Craigslist. I always saw one in there that nobody buys. Double check to see if its still there.

    k..I'm opening up my options here. How about any SPT catbacks?

    ...actually, how much can I get them for from Morries (with the discount of course)?

    well now that I did a lil research and discovered that:
    A. SPT is full 3", yet not a watermelon canon
    B. It's capable of utilizing a dp with a flat or donut styled flange

    I want me an SPT! So who has one!?!?!

    Yes, SPT with up/down pipes make your car sound like it's ready to rally. It IS super sexy, one of the best

    I like my prodrive muffler-maddad setup much better than the SPT, in looks and sound. SPT almost droned on the hwy (in the wagon). The prodrive is quiet at ide and normal driving and sounds gnarly at wot.

    I read that numerous times on nasioc as well. I know a few guys running bigger turbo's had issues with this exhaust choking them up. Not sure about the neck down to 2.5" though.

    i don't recall the diameter, but I'm confident unless you're trying to push 350+ (example- 20G turbo on race gas with 2.5L block) to the wheel you will NOT see any loss in power.

    i installed chets (paul revere) with the Invidia DP at the same time. We made it work, but honestly I don't recall how. IIRC it will slip right into the DP and you can use the bolts with springs (stock) to make it leak free.

    PM him cause i don't recall the details

    Here's the SPT Q&A
    Performance Exhaust System-Cat-Back (SPT)

    Q.
    What are the inlet and outlet sizes?
    A. Inlet pipe dia. =76mm, Outlet Pipe dia = 90mm

    Q. What are the sound decibel differences?
    A. Noticeable increase from stock.

    Q. What material are they made of?
    A. Durable Stainless Steel (T304).

    Q. Who manufactures them for Subaru?
    A. Bosal - North America.

    Q. What process is done on them that make them better than the others?
    A. The muffler is specifically designed to match the performance of the turbo WRX engine.

    Q. Is there a horsepower increasing?
    A. Minimal. Horsepower cannot be noticeably increased because of the Performance Muffler alone.

    Q. Is there a weight difference on these VS the stock?
    A. 1kg lighter.

    Q. Is there a Chamber and/or Scavenging difference?
    A. The Performance muffler is made with the same back pressure as the OEM WRX to maintain the performance parameters.

    Q. Will they work on other models?
    A. No, they are designed for Impreza 2002-2005MY WRX applications only.

    ok, so I'll widen my range of axlebacks to any standard (ie not a huge can) style. That includes turboxs standard, prodrive round tip, stromung, and others that I don't know exist. Someone....anyone?
