MY06 Pignose Exhaust And Other Mods?

mad89 · **Posted:** Sun Jun 19, 2011 9:24 pm

Hey guys...

My brother in law just bought an MY06 Pignose WRX and is looking to do a few mods here and there.

Firstly he's after an exhaust so I told him theres a few good exhausts to choose from from various vendors 'off the shelf' that would most likely be better than what the local exhaust place can 'make'.

So with that said, where should we start looking and what have you guys had good results with etc? I know of the TurboXS exhaust, then theres the TCP one etc? I assume theres others too obviously. Something that sounds good, but isn't too droney on the highway etc would be preferred.

I told him to go for something thats 3" turbo back and into a 2.5" diff back. Good basis to start from?

Recommendations welcome...

Cheers all!

TCP are great!

TXS is also good, but heaps louder, even with an oval muffler.

HiTech.. good all round :p

Has he got a price limit in mind? That might give u a better option to narrow choices down

If you can hold out a month or so there is a GReddy monster garage sale on August 6th at the World Time Attack Challenge at Eastern Creek. Last year they had insane low prices on exhaust systems, most the ones I saw were traditional cannon type but they had heaps of gear on sale. Would prob fail on noise emissions but dang they look sweet!

Might be worth waiting for, thanks for the heads up! I dare say the TCP one will be the way to go then if the TurboXS one is louder.

Also, what do you guys recommend for CAI setups? Keep the factory air intake and air box and do a resorectamy (or however its spelt!)

Thanks Prezza, he's got one of these coming for the resorectamy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-07-Su ... 0374051532

TCP 3" > 2.5" diff back exhaust bought and fitted.

Now looking into TMIC's. I'd say the cheapest option will be the STi TMIC, are all the STi TMIC's the same from 02-07? Or should we look for the specific 06-07 one? Of they are different, how do you identify them between the years?

Cheers all for the help!

Any more on this please guys?

Car now has resorectamy, with that pipe listed above, and TCP Autos exhaust. TMIC is next...

Really, your going to want a Sti cooler from a 06/07. The throttle bodies changed and people have had problems fitting the 02-05.

I see! Thanks for the tip. How do we tell them apart though?

Just get a process west like you have, it should see him through any mods i think, costs more but colder air.

Mikey7 · **Posted:** Sat Aug 13, 2011 7:55 pm

AFAIK they are really hard to tell apart...
Maybe shoot MSR a PM or post in his threads?
Shouldnt be too hard to find someone selling an 06/07 cooler.. much cheaper than a PW too.. and all u need for up to 250kw atw.
