honestly i was in the same boat as you, i had an 09 impreza and wanted to to the basic bolt ons...problem is no one makes them. The only bolt on part you will be able to find is cold air intake, which i have one for sale from my old impreza. other than that u r sol. u will have to get a custom exhaust made no one manufactures a n/a 2inch cat back exhaust, all headers that are made for subaru's r usually for turbo applications. ur best bet maybe if you are very persistant is to get everything port and polished, but still the gains u will see, u will be lucky to break 200hp, which is numbers a stock por condition wrx will make.
Dont waste your time, i went from an 09 impreza to a 07 wrx just saved my money and got a good trade in value and went for it, and i am extremely happy with my choice.
end rant, for what it is worth i am no expert i am just sharing my experience

Yea, i figured. Well i just got the car about 3 months ago, so im kinda stuck with the car due to financial reasons lol. But i can turbo it myself which would take a **** load of money too and probably be just as fast or a little bit faster than like an 04 wrx. But i'll see where this new car will take me =[

When I asked for NA advice for my '06 2.5i back in the day... This is the best response I got:

Clint and Tony don't **** around with this stuff. If they sell it, it's worth having. So browse their site, find things in your budget, and then do research on that part here on NASIOC.

Power wise, it's much more simple. The only two worthwhile mods are the Techworks Engineering 4-2-1- Equal Length headers and cams.

Rumble does not always equal better performance or more power.

Read, research and read again in the NA forum. That will go a long way towards answering your questions.
