Just taken ownership of a 08 hatch sti and loving it, not had a impreza for quite a few years and missed them a lot, one thing which hasn't changed are all the idiots in fiestas and corsas which want to race or think they're all part of the fast and furious franchise lol. Was out last night driving with the Other half and there was a few of these boy racers come along side and started revving the engines etc, I laughed and let them carry on, like it's not worth wasting fuel on these kids. Wonder why all young peoples insurances are sky high. Race tracks are for racing, we'd have the last laugh then

Hi and welcome ,When I had my Sti hatch I was in search of the famous subaru burble and changed the exhausts but due to the equal length headers you never quite achieve the sound but I must admit it did sound deeper.Enjoy your motor and dont listen to the Hatch haters..as there are many on Snet.
