Just installed...

[RalliNurse]

Ok...I miscalculated my schedule...I was gonna install all my parts on the 9th...but now I have to break it into 2 parts...

So part 1 today...I installed my UR catback with mini-muffler and resonator midpipe option...I also got a Cosworth drop-in...

here is some pics...




The last pic with the muffler on is a bit misaligned cuz Chris haven't tighten the bolts...

Sry I haven't took a vid of the exhaust note...I'll do the w/part 2....so stay tune on that...

My impression on this set up is that from the outside of the car...the catback wasn't as loud as I anticipated...the whole exhaust system has a nice deep note even when gas paddle is being stepped on...however...inside the car I can notice the volume is louder compare to outside (right behind the car)...the is drone noted...but it's not as annoying (tolerable)...I do notice I loss some low-end power...but mid to high range power gained a bit...

Overall I love this $hit...I can't wait for everything to get done!!!

Looks clean! Can't wait to get my U R cat back, already have the DP and HFC just waiting for more funds to get the cat back I love the way it sounds on videos but I'm sure it's not the same. I have a quick question, the turbo back kills the warranty right?

Do you have the DP and HFC installed?

[ralliartSAT]

Do you have the DP and HFC installed?

Yes I do did it my self about a 2 weeks ago.

Once you get the rest of your parts installed you might wanna consider a tune because after the tune you will have a lot more power all the way thru the power band. But if you do highway driving you will notice an increase in fuel economy now that the engine can breath better through both ends. Enjoy!
Can you do us a favour and weigh the old exhaust parts you removed. Just curious.

[RalliNurse]

I won't be able to do that just yet...but I can say this for sure...stock is a lot HEAVIER! And after I get the u/l icp installed I will def get a tune...

[Jackal]

I take it then from your response that you have already upgraded the Intercooler itself to a stock Evo X unit or better?

No...that will be part 2

Nice dude! I'm debating on which exhaust system to get, I'm leaning more towards Borla since I've had their catback systems on every vehicle I've owned minus my last Subaru. I know they're a little pricey but well worth it from my past experience.

I think someone on this site have borla...but I don't know for sure if there is really and application for ra...

There is... if you go onto Borla's website and look up the 2009 Ralliart it's there and real. I guess since there haven't been any real changes between the three model years they didn't bother adding it twice after that.

Yeah...I remember mid-jan. We had a bbq meet @ rre...this lady racergirl had a full catback borla...her net awhp I think it's about 240 w/cosworth dropin and no tune...borla sounds good...but it's bit on the loud side...w/no tune the performance gain its very impressive...my car at stock is 210 awhp and her car is 240...

[initial_d2k]

Looking forward for sound clip =)
I really wonder how "quieter" is the option with resonator and mini muffler..

I just flashed the GST basemap today with a K&N filter, so I'll probably have even better gains than she did if I had a Borla installed.

[RalliNurse]

over 230 for sure..
that's hers with cosworth and borla

you can use this as a baseline to see how ur car progress...however...this is on rre's dynojet...numbers will be different from dyno to dyno...so just give u a heads up

[RalliNurse]

After FMIC,U/LICPs and a tune here is the result...278 tq and 272 awhp....

[RalliNurse]

Big thanx to UR...Josh who accept my order and my special request...
Big thanx to Mike, Chris and Sam @ RRE...the installation and tuning...

Thanx guys...

here is a few pics for u guys to enjoy!

[RalliNurse]

Part 2 of pics!!!

Thanx to rall1rt for the inspiration!! :)

[BravoZero]

Wow, nice gains!

I never thought just upgrading the IC along with the piping and a full catback with a proper tune could unlock so much power over stock. Definitely interested in doing this now.

[MTZL]

Congrats RalliNurse! :cool:

[RalliNurse]

Gotta thanx to mike for the tune

[Jackal]

Hi RalliNurse:

Congrats on the mods and tune.

Very nice power gains, I'm going to Mike at RRE for sure when it comes time to tune my car.

[sstevojr]

If I'm reading that right, you are making more boost at 5700 then at 3000?!?! How the hell is that possible on a tiny RA turbo???
