Default 2018 STI showdown! Here's mine, show me what you got!

My idea with this car was to keep it simple but different. I like OEM fitment so anywhere I could I used OEM parts. You can always find better deals in aftermarket but I like things to fit the right way.

As far as performance goes, well that's all aftermarket.

2018 STI Base, 13 months old

Exterior:
STI OEM Full lip kit
Rear Diffuser
Type RA OEM Black mirrors
OEM Subaru trim emblem black
Front grill red pin stripe
Perrin license plate delete
STI OEM Type RA fender badge
STI OEM black "Subaru" and "AWD" lettering trunk
Reverse light delete (Red)
Premium Window Tint 30%

Interior:
OEM Type RA steering wheel
Valentine One radar detector
COBB Black/Red shift knob
Weathertech matts (front & back)

Suspension:
GTWorx Bilstein shocks
RCE Black springs
Whiteline adjustable 25mm front sway bar
Whiteline adjustable 22mm rear sway bar
Whiteline adjustable front and rear end links

Performance and engine dressup:
COBB Accessport
COBB Downpipe
COBB Titanium catback exhaust
COBB Intake
COBB Fuel system upgrade + flex fuel
COBB FMIC
COBB AOS
COBB BCS
COBB Turbo heat shield
COBB short shifter
COBB front/rear shifting bushings
COBB Pitch stop mount
COBB radiator shroud
COBB delrin oil cap
Perrin Turbo Inlet
Raceseng Reverse lockout
Tomei equal length headers (with Killer B White Lightning ceramic coating)

Numbers:
I'm running a very conservative tune because I don't feel like rebuilding the engine just yet. Below are the numbers running E85. Luckily, I live within 15 minutes of an E85 pump.
HP: 370
TQ: 390

How does the Cobb titanium cat back sound? I had Cobb turbo back exhaust on my 05, 07, and now my 17 but wonder if it's worth upgrading to the titanium? Nice car and mod list by the way!

I absolutely love the sound of this exhaust. I had the Invidia R400 but found it a bit loud to my liking, mostly the drone. I went with the Cobb titanium because it looks on point, is extremely lightweight, and the sound is very refine compared to any exhaust I've listened to.

It's hard to put it into words but it has no drone and the sound is just Quality. That's the best word to describe it.

Good to hear because I hate the Q300 drone. I might have to invest in the Cobb now too.

Great taste of mods and the car looks great.

How do you like those Cobb floor mats?

Those are the Weathertech floor mats. I just put to use the pile of cobb stickers that I have.

They are definitely the way to go. Gives it a rugged look and provide way more protection than stock floor mats.

I don't have it with me at the moment. It's at home somewhere, I'll try to dig it up and posted here if I find it.

How difficult is it to replace the wheel with that RA one. I love it!

Not difficult at all. There are plenty of install videos out there. 1hr at most.

They do not. However, I've seen some sellers online that sell OEM mirrors painted already.

Default If only

If only I went with that exhaust, as now I find myself in a realm of disappointment after the one I chose was delivered yesterday. It could just be the exhaust I bought showed up in a box that had clearly been opened before, and clearly has been installed before. I came back here to see happiness and what my car will look like one day.

Nice car! If I didn't get wrb I would have definitely gotten crystal white. Interested in hearing sound clips of the full exhaust. I'm planning on getting the tomei elh as well.
