Why not release the excess air?

Just a guess .... doesn't it knacker your engine?? as well as making you look a right wally??

Why not improve the look?

Who to?? The local Council Estate tarts and tartlets??

You are clearly 17 years old and have a Nova with a stick-on scoop ..... which is OK, but this is a grown-up thread .................

Hi dude!

Firstly The standard exhaust system on the impreza is ****e as standard!, so how am i meant to grow out of doing a full-decat and making car perform better.

My Forge Dv is A.Is very subtle and hardly makes a noise
B.My engine isn't ''Knackered'' and never will be from use of a dump valve.

And as for tarting it up! and the fact im apparently 17.......

Im 20 with an sti version 3 see pic...


Hardly Chav...I think people will agree, what car did you have a 20 years old??

I totally agree... I gained approximately another 20bhp doing the full decat route and love the sound so much

At 20 I didn't even drive but hankered after an old 50's car actually LOL.

when you go to buy a car,your never actually buy a car that is exactly what you want in general .the manufacturers i dont think could possibly make it practical to build each car with the specific demands of each new owner.you just buy the closest thing to it.now with the advice and knoledge of the peolple on here.most of us are able to change the bits we dont like on the cars ,to make it the perfect car of our choice............n i guess thats modifying ,n that doesnt seem childish too me!.

The older one gets, the less sensible one should be.

I wouldn't mind a bigger spoiler and noisier exhaust and I really want morrettes - and why not - I've done my time being Mr Ordinaire with the boring familymobiles full of kids and carting about DIY/doors.

I just wanna drive for the hell of it - anywhere there's an empty Roman Road.

Oh and my grown up sons have just borrowed my new Coldplay and Foo Fighters CDs.

Its NOT allright to be a ******** when you are over 20 years old!!

Don't get me wrong pslewis and P.S leWis - they are one and the same!

I am sensible most of time - I must be if I routinely hit an average 30MPG.

The key phrase is - where there's an empty Roman Road.

In other words, there's a time and place.

Also, I would probably only get the morettes if I'm honest.
