What have you done to your MSP today?

Does anyone else see the resemblence the MSP has to this Evo(6.5?)?

Yes... there is definitely a resemblance. Not the first time. I mean, look at the side profile of a 2003-2005 WRX. The compact segment in those years all sort of had the same sides.

I might be speaking silly here but I still maintain that the MSP is one of the best looking cars of it's time.

Everytime I walk by my car I stare at it, I totally agree. I love the way it looks.
 
I WILL have the MSP back on the road by the end of January. In the meantime, I've located a Cobb Accessport and BHR midpipe for the 8 for $450 for the pair.
 
Yeah I need to put the haltech in and tune it. So far im averaging 16mpg this tank. Im also going to gather all the crap I have for sale and make a thread, hopefully this weekend.

ps I call bs on the msp getting back on the road.
 
need to know soon:

what size exhaust should i run with the pope down-pipe? 3 in.? i mean i understand you don't want to "restrict" the engine, but at 7-8 psi wouldn't 2.5 in. be large enough? I guess why i'm asking is because i want kinda loud (louder than stock), but not cops attention loud (they don't need another reason to pull me over). I want to do 3 but I am skeptical of it's decibel level. Also don't all turbos need some sort of back pressure to operate to their full potential?

cheap quick solution, run stock exhaust with a test pipe. It will be louder, less restrictive and if you still don't like the sound you can just get a muffler and have an exhaust shop do an axle back.
