I will look into that. I know that my wrx was loud becuase I just drove home my new sti from sac and now have a basis for comparison. In the all stock sti I can't even hear my engine or exhaust over the road noise when I am WOT (the bad california roads). I am looking for something that is not as quiet as a hush, not as loud as the tanabe race I had previously. I know there is a happy middle there somewhere and I need to find it.
I am pretty sold on your dp after doing all the research and reading lots of reviews. I like getting things grouped all from one place because I know they will all work together correctly which is why I like your tbe. The only clip I have seen of the crucial is on your page and as you said it is in a shop and between warehouses making it sound louder. I do like the tone but might be looking for something slightly lower in db which is why I was waiting for a clip of the catted version. Hell a clip of a few cars running stock and various aftermarket exhaust back to back with yours would be money but I don't expect you to make personalized video clips for me
I like the advice on the upipe. I do think about a turbo change down the line so that would be a better time to pick one up.
