The primary purpose of an aftermarket exhaust is to remove or replace the stock catalytic converter(s) with a better flowing unit. It also increases the exhaust diameter for better flow. The term "aftermarket exhaust" can be broken down into the three main types: 1. Turbo back exhaust (TBE) covers items 1-4 as described below. 2. Cat back exhaust (CBE) covers items 3&4 as described below. 3. Axle back exhaust (ABE) covers item 4 as described below. The stock Subaru exhaust consists of: 1. Downpipe (with cat) 2. Midpipe (with cat) 3. Rear Exhaust Pipe 4. Axle Back Muffler HP gain is dependent on the type of exhaust chosen. TBE gains are 20-30HP . CBE gains are 5- 15HP . ABE gains are 5-10HP . These figures are highly debated as different manufacturers use different dynos with different cars with different levels of mods. It also varies because exhausts use different amounts of catalytic converters or are catless.

Hi all, have you ever wonder what will it be like if we placed two of the best cars around for a race on a snowy road? The cars I am refering to is the Subaru Impreza WRX STI and the Mitsubishi Evolution . Which will claim the top spot? Following is an article for your reading pleasant. What do you think? Sometimes you really have to pinch yourself in this job. Here I was in one of the only Mitsubishi Lancer Evos in Canada , riding along a snow-covered back road, in cold pursuit of a $47,000 Subaru STi. The two cars (sticking to the speed limit, which was tough in these conditions) were kicking up a storm cloud of snow, their engines were humming and whooshing in their turbocharged power bands, performance winter radials clawed at the ground, and I was having the time of my life. A cold January morning in the ultimate, not-available-here forbidden fruit rally special and its mortal enemy: life didn't get much better than this. The whole Evo-versus-STi thing was a natu...

Once more Australia rounds off the World Championship, after three days of flat-out gravel action on the roads around Perth. The stages contain a unique 'ball-bearing' surface, which disadvantages the first car on the road that is forced to sweep up the 'marbles' for everybody else following behind. Most of the western Australian forest stages are lined by trees very close to the side of the road - meaning that any mistake invariably results in a substantial impact. While the weather is normally hot, rain showers are not unheard of: another fascinating twist to what is always an intriguing and popular event. Many people take advantage of the sunshine to stay on for a well-earned break at the end of a long and tough season. The rally concludes with the world-famous Bunnings Jumps: arguably the most spectacular photo opportunity of the year!

The original 227-horsepower WRX . Then, the 271-horse Mitsubishi Evolution . Now, Subaru ups the ante in the compact-sedan wars again--with the 300-horsepower WRX STi . Don't confuse it with the 2.0-liter/ 286-horse STi sold in Europe since 2002; the car received substantial remodeling on its way will be sold '04 model. Imprezas get a facial from the front doors forward. The more handsome and aggressive look comes courtesy of Peter Stevens, who (among other things) designed the McLaren Formula One supercar. The new front fascia shuttles air to the brakes, and the massive basket-handle rear wing provides effective downforce. In order to deliver the torque levels, the STi's flat-four (now designated E525) goes from 2.0 to 2.5 liters and gets variable valve timing plus drive-by-wire throttle . A larger-than-WRX-spec air scoop and intercooler help the IHI turbo feed the engine up to 14.5 pounds of boost. A driver-activated sprayer system shoots two-second spurts of wate...
