[QUOTE="Carey Frennier, post: 831628, member: 66764"] I got my internet fixed last night and I listened to a TON of clips from various forums. I'll check this one out over the weekend and pick one later. Turns out the 2006 WRX exhaust is different then the previous years and I believe the 07. Instead of having a two section downpipe with cats on each section. It has one pipe with two cats. So if I install a downpipe I'd lose both cats (TBE) and in NYS...you can't run without cats on this age vehicle. The other problem I run into with a TBE (only downpipe option for 06 rex) is that I'd also have to spend another $3-400 on a custom engine managment tune. So my only street legal options are to either do a Cat-back system (CBE) or an Axleback system (ABE) with a custom resonator delete pipe (lower cost). If I made a custom pipe I'd have to cut the original, where the resonator is, and weld in a section to replace it. Most everyone does the cat back system. It's basically a DYI project. I may give it a shot. The only problem is that the CBE systems are crazy expensive! Like $500+. [/QUOTE]
