I'm very excited for you! How about a video clip of before and after?

I have a before clip here:

TD04 turbo with essentially a 3" straight pipe

After it will be a VF39 or similar turbo with same exhaust, bigger intercooler, EBCS, and a good tune maybe 16-17 psi? Not sure yet.

I forgot you drive a Fozzy! That makes it even better. I'd be very very tempted to trade in my '09 535 for a FXT if it meant I could build it up and tune it. Somehow I think my wife would rather me keep my cars relatively stock...... so nothing too fancy.

Although my 535 does have a JuiceBox (I'll put it back on once my Warranty is up in Feb.) and that does make it much nicer.

But I love Foresters very much and I miss the '06 I had before this car.

A lot of guys around here with Subarus (WRX's/STI's) always say they wish they could have a Forester XT yet I never see ANY around at all, I only know of one other guy in my area with an FXT and we regularly sell or trade stuff to each other haha. It is for sure nicer compared to a WRX, it's the limited so it has a nice stereo, full leather interior, heated mirrors windshield and seats, and a big old sunroof. Plus the insurance is dirt cheap and it's on the GD WRX chassis so finding parts (like this up pipe) is easy as hell. Then I tell people it's going on my Forester are they flip haha. "No way really?? I didn't know Foresters could have this or that part on it!"

Yeah and we have an awesome Tuner out here that does incredible stuff (Innovative Tuning). So I know I'd have a place that I could trust to do things the right way. And I love the interior space in the FXT. My only issue is that I don't think my wife would be happy if I went to a manual because she doesn't enjoy driving that, and more importantly is that there isn't much room for a rear-facing car seat.
