Slapped my Nameless muffler delete on last night. VERY pleased.....No drone at all with normal driving. Barely hear it. Run through the revs a bit and its a nice deep sound...sounds nice at idle as well.

What is the most optimal RPM range to shift at for best MPG?

This all depends on how your car is tuned and how fast you are accelerating. I generally shift at 2.5-2.8k, enough that on the next gear it doesn't bog hard. I generally stay in 3rd going 30 as 4th is way to slow to try to make a move quickly. Usually shift to 5th at 45mph on normal driving. I think the manual says 46 or 47 is the optimal speed to shift to 5th. |

Ugh, why do 255 and 245 tires have to be the same price! Quote:

Getting on to the freeway, I'll shift at 4k. Putting around town, a little less. During a race, I'll shift around 5-5.5k. I used to be afraid of hitting the limiter. Until I realized that it's a limiter and that's what it's for. The one race where I was hitting the limiter about 30 feet from a braking zone. Talked to a couple other drivers who agreed that the fastest option was to just bounce off the limiter instead of shifting. Hmm... The tune is that good huh? |

I think on a 2 wheel drive, car shifting at a low rpm is more ideal. |

bumpdate,
After a lot of elbow grease, I turned the ugly 08 wrx grille into the beauty I have below and swapped out the stock one. http://i.imgur.com/dHgC0W9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IHMc5Od.jpg My bro also bought me a 30" Totron LED lightbar! After basically hacking up all of the lower grille; it fits flush and is mounted very solid. One word describes this beast, BRIGHT! http://i.imgur.com/Y4Z8G0J.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qtntIbm.jpg |
