ive never had one for a subaru, but i had a toyo sport fmic on my supra and the quality and fitment was excellent.
if anything if you got one you could replace just the core at a later date as the pipes would be ok

At least you've admitted it's for looks, as in terms of performance, at the level you're at, it's a waste of money.
Without a re-map to go with it, you could finish up with a less capable car.

Your better off buying a quality second hand setup over a cheapo new one.

Really depends on more factors at FMIC,but Hybrid FMIC are great priced,plus Japspeed are good too for money..

About the Toyosport FMIC and other FMIC,is size of cores,which on Toyosport core is smaller than on others(Hybrid,Autobahn,Japspeed),plus fitting of Toyosport is really pain in ****
