The exhaust is all stock other than the STi Genome axle back. There is a slight 'chirp' and 'leaking' sound in the exhaust because part of my baffling in the muffler is split (something the pictures on ebay did not represent). Otherwise it is a very toned down exhaust. It's very quiet while driving around and has a bassy tone.

You gunna post pics with the BBS? What size are theses?

 

The BBS wheels don't have tires yet and two of them need a little refinishing. I think I might change the color as well. They are 17x7s. I will definitely post them up when I get rubber on them! :)

That Genome muffler looks a bit short, sedan version? Got disappointed with Genomes, not sure what all the buzz is about - very light (which is not bad) but so easy to dent/scratch, pipework is not even 2.5", sound-wise I'd say each to their own. Sold mine after a month :D

Nah, the USDM bumpers are 2-3inches longer than the jdm ones.

Wrapped the inside of it in DEI Reflect-A-Gold tape for some heat containment. Don't mind the Instagram filter.

Just so you know, the Japanese door cards will work for your rear and front right doors. The front left (driver door here) does not have a hole large enough for the switch panel.

 

In the US, both front doors have the large switch panel. In other countries, only the driver position has it.

Yeah, when I have my interior redone, I am going to dismantle the cards and paint the drivers to match the rest. Little bit of an oops and I dont get why subaru decided to make them that way but i'll make it work. :)
