My new Subaru impreza gx STI rep.
Hi all im new to the site, not long baught my 2005 blobeye impreza after waiting a while for a good one to turn up.
The reason for buying the non turbo was purely insurance costs..
I will be buying a turbo, or turboing this once i can aford the insurance propperly, ive got to admit the lack of power is anoying.. after coming from a mg zr turbo with aprox 240-250ish bhp, but the sound of the subaru more than makes up for it!
So please no bad comments about it being a non turbo thats the reason it is.
ive only owned it a couple of weeks so not done alot to it, ive fitted a unequal lengh manifold so far, hoping to get a Vortex backbox and de resonated middle section in the near future.
So anyone got a afterburner system let me know please.

Looks good, it's a deresonated centre pipe you want, a resonated one will strangle the burble.
As for turbo, insurance I'd imagine would be cheaper on a wrx rather than yours being modded, also more power needs brakes etc so just buying a wrx is a better and cheaper option.
Never seen a mg turbo, how did it handle the power through the front wheels.

I've just had a vortex fitted on my blob eye. To be honest it doesn't look really any different to yours now. As for how it sounds if you was to run over a bear and then have aforementioned bear gargling under your car on a month mouthwash that's how it sounds... Very nice and deep!!!! Squeeze the Heinz beans pedal and it rustles up a like a purring cat on coke. Very pleased with mine, bear is a sod to get off diff though.
