My mild PSM SH-AWD 6MT
Most of the mods I plan to do are now done:
K-Tuner with tune 3 loaded
XLR8 J-Pipe with 3rd cat delete
RV6 HFPC
K&N drop-in
Tein SAZ
OZ Ultraleggera 20x9 (I think... might be 8.5), 38mm offset
Factory body kit
Such a fun car to drive now. Even more responsive than before adding the HFPCs this weekend. We also put the SAZs on.
Next plans:
Tune/dyno at RV6
Magnaflow mufflers with new, round, quad tips (some bling, some sound, not expecting much more performance)
As she sits:
Attachment 99154
Attachment 99155
I will say that having changed clutches in DSMs, changed motors in DSMs, and taken out/replaced engine in a Subaru - the HFPC install was one of the most nightmarish installs I've been a part of. The car is a 125k mile northern car and some of the key heat shield bolts we needed to get out were completely stuck. I need to get a whole new bracket and PS heat shield as a result
(If anyone can hook a man up with those part numbers, I would be very grateful!) but they're in, they sound great and feel even better. Midrange is more alive, by far, and the car feels aggressive now with the sound, throttle response, performance, and suspension all having been upgraded.
Oh and I may get my steering wheel redone down the road, mine is not in great shape these days.

I'm guessing it doesn't matter if I do that before adding higher-flow mufflers, right? Not expecting much if any added power from those and I can't imagine they'll change things enough to warrant a retune, but figured I'd ask.
Thanks for the kind words - this is officially the longest I've ever owned the same car (3 years and some change). This thing just checks all the boxes and now that I work from home, I don't have to put 25k miles on it every year just driving to work and back...

The inconvenient truth
Nice man i bet she whips pretty good. Let us know how the sound changes when you get the mufflers.
