OK, I got a change to test the car yesterday. It's damn fast, much faster than the stock 1.8L. With the turbo spooling, it really is the sweetest sound! My mechanic, Steve Barsotti, gets major kudos for keeping my engine bay super SANO for such a tight fit. No CEL whatsoever. He will put some test miles on the 1500mi. the WRX engine had originally to make sure there's no problems, THEN ITS MINE
! Have to remember to keep the rubber side down...
Lastly, The dtm exhaust is actually not very loud taking in consideration the 3 cats in the system!
