Default Which dump valve on 2003 wrx????

I just brought my first Scoob yesterday, woo hoo totally standard, 1 owner 2003 wrx, the car drives like a dream! I know most of you would say leave it original ect but all I want to do is a nice exhaust and dump valve and maybe air filter!

Could someone suggest the best equipment to go for, would rather ask pros then a two bit garage!

The std dump valve is the best one for the job.

Exhaust: There are many to choose from, including partial or full decats. You may need a remap if you do too much. DON'T choose the loudest, or the cheapest you can find

Filter: Stick with the panel filter, the STi one, green, or Cosworth are good.

Dumpvalve: you already HAVE one, on the car. It's the one the engine was designed for and it's the one the engine runs best, and safest, with. PLEASE don't change it for a chav-horn.

Air filter wise you have a choice, cosworth, green, k&n and STI would be on the list to look at.
Exhausts, depends what your after, loud (normally unbearable and not the best performers), or good quality, good sound, best performance (though a remap would improve things further), then dv, as the rest have said, standard re circ one is the best, the dta's can upset the fuelling, cause rough running etc.
So what is your budget for the above mods?

Exhaust I'm after a nice sound not louder the better, air filter I'm looking for performance and dump valve, has nothing to do with hey look at me it's just I love the sound, I'm looking at doing all this without having to remap etc, it's all I want to do to the engine (fir now)

Money wise, ????? £500 ish bit skint after forking out for her!

I have a ScoobyClinic 3" exhaust for newage if your interested? super clean and shiny, fire me a pm if you want pic or more info

as above though stick with panels filters, mine runs with a green cotton... DV wise i run a TurboSmart VeePort and thats nice, not loud doesn't chirp ever time you change gear but gives a nice flutter just off light throttle and cool woosh dump when on WOT

also on a side note, any exhaust will need mapping... unless you get just a backbox but that doesn't increase performance just sound.
