Re: my (used) new 04 Rex.... suggestions?
If you get the Stage 2 package you can replace the OBX exhaust system with the new Catback but i think you can upgrade it with a Turbo back on the site. You also get a new downpipe to complete the exhaust work. Then you can get the AP with all the required hardware to tune it. For me if i ever got a WRX probably go with that or see what Perrin provides.

Rotors... slotted if you must other than OEM, but pads, fluid, SS lines, and Cusco BMC brace will do wonders!!!
Exhaust... buy something other than OBX, please. Don't cheap out as welds will break over prolong abuse, or muffler insides will fall apart, maybe both. DON'T say you won't beat on this car.
Intake... 2nd gen Perrin inlet w/HKS panel drop in.
Sways... Cobb or Whiteline, and DO pick up endlinks like everyone is suggesting.
EM... Get it ASAP before power adders. It's cheaper than half the stuff you've bought/will buy, so there's no excuse not to. Between Cobb AP & UTEC, I'd suggest buying whichever one a tuner nearby is consistent with tuning on a regular basis. IIRC, Kienan does UTEC.[/QUOTE]
The slotted ones cost just as much as the d & s ones, so why not right? and with the exhaust I was going get the JDM N1 exhaust. as Sways go I got the 22MM Perrin, still waiting to put them on. and the end links are in the mail. as far as EM goes I was going get a reflash done by Matt from Richard Racing, he really knows his Scooby stuff.

I just checked this out and that looks great. So i have a question for you... would i get more out of that package then I would if i bought the JDM N1 exhaust w/3" downnpipe and up pipe and got it reflashed after I put the new stuff on?
