You can't beat the Twin Scoll can you, great driving experience, the way it delivers the power is different class 
I miss the burble sometimes, my wrx was a full decat so changing down from 3rd to 2nd gear after giving it some beans always produced plenty of pops and backfires
However the sound of the JDM engine when it's in the 5k-8k rev range is something else and it pulls like hell all the way!!
........but then you know all this
edit: by the way, how noisy is it in the cabin with a full 3" decat? I know the Spec C doesn't have the sound proofing that the JDM has but I'd be interested to know what it's like?
Also, what wheels are they - I thought about buying a V-Limited (IIRC there was one on Autotrader or PH and the wheels looked too black for the car)? They look the mutts nuts on yours, taken under different lighting obviously makes all the difference

Nah..You can't beat that rev mania Twin Scroll mate, it's insane when you put your foot down. It just delivers scary powers tirelessly all the way from 3k-8k rpm.
My car's exhaust is Hayward & Scott full 3" decat, it's a little bit loud from outside when it's cold and totally acceptable from inside, and it roars when you flat out but again it won't make your ears bleed. After warmed up, it's relatively a lot quieter.
The wheels are just BBS lightweight as usual optional wheels provided by Subaru. They've been painted into black and it's a top notch paint work done by the previous owner.
