    Jimbo's JDM Bugeye Impreza STI

    I have no idea how it managed to get through, possibly a dodgy MOT tester or something. It was a lovely car but there were quite a few age related TLC jobs it needed doing that I didn't have time for. But it's another car ticked off the must own list.

    Sports cat with OEM cat back - noisy?

    The piper manifold cat or not is going to create much more noise than stock, the raspyness tone will be down to choice of cat back.

    Solid fab sytems are meant to be quite boomy from what I have read. Never heard one, but yes you will be introducing more noise. I wouldnt bother just swapping to a sports cat unless you are going to go further with the exhaust system and get a remap.
