I finally took the plunge APS 3" Turboback
After Hyperfest I coudln't stand being stock any longer. So I took the plunge and ordered an APS 3" Exhaust.
I also got a CAI (also APS), STI Pink Springs, Camber Plates and hardened rear top mounts.

It's a turboback
Accessports are on national backorder right now, so I have to wait a little while before I can get one.

careful with that CAI... I just removed my intake silencer and installed a K&N panel filter. but I am a cheap skate.
you can install the muffler right away but like the guys said, you should wait for EM before doing the full turbo back.
are the hardened mounts necessary on the STi? I thought they were pretty damn stiff stock.

If its a full turbo Back, you WILL run rich and you WILL have boost creep. So you can install it, but just take it easy, no WOT pulls at high RPM's.. nothing like that till you get EM.
if its jsut a cat back, you'll be fine installing it all and having a blast after!

Yeah, I know I need EM
and dammit if I don't want an Access Port right now, but I gotta wait.
In the meantime, I will have to get by admiring my shiny new turboback exhaust.
As for the hardened rear strut mounts, I've heard conflicting opinions about their worth. They aren't too expensive I'm not gonna sweat it.

Is the lean condition on STIs or just WRXs?
because as rich as STIs run I can't imagine a lean condition with just intake and exhaust upgrades.
I could be wrong though, so I will probably take it easy on the throttle til I get EM.
