Hi mate,

have just fitted the Vortex backbox to my MY03 STi and it gives a nice deep burble on tick over, and sounds fantastic on full throttle, especially in tunnels!

All you need to do is spray WD40 on the 3 rubbers holding the old exhaust in place this will allow you to ease the exhaust off without hassle after undoing the 2 bolts to the centre section. I reused the metal gasket from the old exhaust and with a bit of exhaust paste to get a nice seal the Afterburner went on within 10 mins.

Make sure you have good light it really helps, make sure you use axel stands not a jack. Mind you on mine I could access almost everything necessary without going directly under the car.

Good luck, I know you are gonna be one very happy chappie.

Cheers,

Dan
