Blog — 2008 Impreza WRX Sti

Recently we installed a Magnaflow 3" Stainless Steel Catback exhaust on the www.IPGParts.com 2008 Impreza WRX STi. Other parts on the car include Perrin Equal Length Header, Cobb Tuning Catted Downpipe, Cobb Accessport (tuned), BC Racing Coilovers, Volk Gramlight Wheels.

We chose to cut out the reverse lamp and turn signal sections to give it a great look. Here...

After 6 months of ownership the first modifications have made their way onto our 2008 Subaru WRX STi. With just over 5k miles on the odometer we chose to go with the Cobb Catted Downpipe and a custom tune performed by Omar at Central Florida Turbo. These basic modifications are very easy to perform and provide a decent kick in the butt performance increase for the low cost invested. We chose the Catted Cobb Downpipe since it easily mates to the OEM Catback exhaust and offers only a slight increase in noise level from the OEM Downpipe. The dyno horsepower...
