a Subaru nothing out of the ordinary TBH, has more of a rasp to it on WOT, that might have something to do with the cats in the backbox and the fact that it's 2.5" still has a nice deep sound to it on tick over
definetely an improvement over the last system which was 3"
just goes to show size isn't everything

Kev,
these pictures may help.....
Looks like you may have to cut your rear bumper and invest in some bacofoil
I wasn't the only one looking on the underside.....
Keep up the good work!

well i've managed to gain about another 20mm ground clearance today and got the back box sitting level there's no way i can get it sitting in the same position as on the wrc car because of the rear diff mounting on mine just isn't allowing it, but i'm pretty happy with it now, should have some new pics tomorrow

meant to be white, it's the ceramic coating, i've just cleaned it up a bit since last week
yep, suspension is all stock apart from the Ohlins
Diff will be fine, it's got Darchem engineering heatshielding, if it's good enough for F1 and WRC...
next job is the brakes, just need to do some more measuring for the adaptor plates, a few weeks away yet i would of thought

exaust is very Quiet inside car (must be ceramic coating) but sounded very nice from outside when you pulled away.

speed bumps don't seem to be a major problem so far
no major plans over christmas, got my motorbike to finish off and my Ka needs readying for sale (proceeds go towards remap) but you never know, might get the brake caliper brackets made up

then i went for a 120 mile drive in the peaks
