And thanks everyone! I'm really glad I got the hatch, just didn't think I'd be happy with the sedan and for a car I'm gonna have for a while I wanted to be 100% happy with it

[civic si hb]

Love the versatility of having a hatch. We have one of each in our family. One 2006 wrx limited sedan and the other a 2011 Impreza hatch. The real surprising thing about the hatch is the amount of space for the passengers who sit in the back. They have more room than the passenger that sits in the front seat, lol. Enjoy her and treat her well :)

[klieg]

lol, what would you do with the stock catback!?


I'd find a way to make it fit on my OBS. :mechanic:

Classified as a wagon...

I think there's a actual debate thread here about it too, lol

I think it needs to be longer and have a longer wheel base to have more the wagon look than a hatchback that it is (gti/ms3/etc)

The bugeye wagon to me has the look/feel of a wagon for the wrx.

[2007st3]

For all 5? Just 1 for the mid-pipe? just the muffler? I only ask cause I'm sure its probably similar for my application.


Well....not awesome. Lol

its possible just one on the midpipe but i wont really know until I get that one on. Im dangerously close to the rear axle right now so we shall see

It was an ebay purchase. I had to email bayson r about them just to ask if they would be reposting them for sale. I ended up getting identical ones from a different buyer, i think it said there were a few available. Ill post up some pictures when they come in. If they're in before thursday then ill bring them with me when i head up that way.

[DHGurs]

Are they in channel or sticky taped on?

The difference is honestly night and day, I'm a little surprised. But they are super awesome.

I also got my window visors/rain guards in today and it looks like I'll be trusting the 3M tape to hold them on. Hopefully that works out....they do look pretty good though. I'm not gonna put them on until the windows get tinted though
