06 STi not 07 with that Air pump bs

Cobb DP, neck-down delete, 3 inch rest of the way back. Accessport. done. Reliable, AWD, much fun to be had. Is it going to be driven daily?

However if your building a dedicated race car which you dont mind fixing all the time, go EVO. 2.3L big turbo. yum. But that would just be a stupid street car.

Why buy a race / rally car for a daily driver? Pick ride quality, comfort and reliability or handling / speed, but rarely can you have both without a lot of $$. Also, if it's used, unless you personally know the seller, I would bet the previous owner was less than gentle with the shifts and redline.

My suggestion, get something comfortable and reliable for a D/D, then buy a project car to mod / track / etc. You won't feel nearly as bad when the motor pops. I know this from personal experience, which is why I now have two 1gen xB's, one for work, one for play, and am in the middle of an engine build that will be the third motor on the modded one.

i dont plan on going crazy with it....just want an exhaust intake and tune then all cosmetics....then id buy a second car to track...which would most likely be a honda because of how cheap and fun they can be

The cobb 3 inch DP necks down to 2.5 right before the cat-back section. Cut it out, and replace with 3 inch pipe. I would say get another DP but Cobb's bellmouth is superior to all the others. Also dont wast your money on an intake on the scooby unless you go bigger turbo.
