I like mine too, they go well with my custom Cusco strut brace in the Outback.

Nice build mate, wanting to go down a very similar past when I get my hands on my forester. Where did you find that boost gauge air vent setup?
Also how much if you don't mind me asking?

Haha yeah I made the cut into the MCM mag
I actually bought the gauge vent off a guy on ozfoz who made it himself afaik. The gauge itself is just a Prospet one off eBay.

Little update here. Picked up a GFB stealth BOV, Hitech twin tip muffler and STi splitter off Andre early in the week. BOV was easy to DIY so that's already on. Need to get a shallow-headed bolt though as the trumpet currently doesn't fit!
Muffler is booked to go on, on Monday afternoon so looking forward to that
Finally got around to installing the flash switch plug from Bram. Great product!
Male and female plugs connected
Drilled a subtle hole in the kick panel near the OBDII port
Booya!

New exhaust is on
Replaced the X-Force muffler with a Hitech twin tip muffler.
First impressions? It’s much quieter than the X-Force but also much deeper …and sexier!

Nice Morgs.
Considered painting the muffler body black and just keeping the tips polished?

I'll take a stab at this and say its a more convenient switch when you need to flash your ECU instead of having to stick your head under the dash to clip the two green connectors together.
Not required on our cars Ben.

Those twin tips look hot!!
Below car has been gone for quite some time now... blew bottom end bearing and dealership screwed me! Now driving 2008 WRX with ~65k kms on the clock. Only has cat back exhaust and tune by KiDo at the moment! More to come... but slowly!
Purchased recently (12/11/2013), already with: Stage 2 Pedders lowered springs, rear Whiteline sway bar, Advan Racing TCII 18x8 wheels, k&N pod filter, custom 3" exhaust system from turbo back with Magnaflow mufflers. ECUTEK tune of some sort (hopefully soon to be fixed)..... now FIXED!! Now KiDo Tuned!
Added: HID kit, EZ lip equivalents to the front and sides, and various LED treatments, oem boot spoiler, [LGT WRC] plates, GFB Respons BOV for extra Pssscchhh! --> Gone... I couldn't afford it's heart transplant... but keep a look out, as it will come back on sale soon!

Cheers mate!
Had a productive afternoon.
Blacked out the rear face of the muffler.
Set the RSB to it's hardest setting and greased up the mounting bushes as I had some creaking. I think it's stopped a little but after a little drive, it still creaks
Blacked out the front strut brace.
Strut top covers back on. Much better!
...and this is what it looked like before for reference -
Booked the car in for it's 100k km service. She's going in next Tuesday to get some love. Over the last couple of months, I have been accumulating parts and now it's all here, I'm ready to go
I also made a few exhaust videos while I had some time. Will try and upload tonight

Here's the exhaust vids. Obviously the better your speakers are, the better it will sound!
