I brought the hks dumpvalve but cant fit it as the intercooler is too large and coil pack is in the way which is a pain! imo the hks sounds the best,gutted!!

The engines do sound different.

My Forester is quiet, but even notwithstanding that, when I'm defrosting the cars with both running it is really clear that they differ.

Car looks good mate.

Love the rb5. It's what I originally started trying to persuade the other half with, but she didn't want an older car. Must be a real handful running that power now.
