    loose thin metal sound

    +1 for a heat shield loose or cracked. My up pipe heat shield is actually cracked around the top and rattles while I'm driving, but not always at idle or certain cruising speeds, just depends on conditions/vibrations. Something I'm gonna try to fix this weekend...good luck!

    Thanks, I appreciate it! Life's been pretty crazy lately and I'm just trying to get back to a semi-normal state. Not sure what it is, but I'm just falling out of the car scene a bit. I really like the new XV Crosstreks in orange, so I may try to pick one up in the next year or so.

    Possibly, but I think I'm just done with tunes at the moment. Plan on selling off most of my parts when they're off anyways, including the AP. I'm not worried about the engine on the stock tune, and I could use the fund for other stuff at the moment. Just got out of a pretty long relationship...

    Misfire issues mainly, due to injectors. I'm just done with the DW 850's. I could do the T1 conversion and a retune but I don't have the funds, and I'm getting a bit tired of worrying about a catastrophic failure. Car has 111,000 miles on her. The engine is fine, but I just have a feeling...

    Car is being returned to stock :( been having some issues lately and I would rather save my engine and drive it for a long time than have it take a dump on me. It was fun while it lasted!!

    TIRES FOR AN 06 STI

    Picked up a set of Continental extreme contact DWS's from Discount Tire. Had the best pricing I could find. $142/tire i think and very well rated for dry and wet conditions.

    Here's the pass sheet. The stock dp made a huge difference! Didn't even change the map, just the dp.

    Haha, I don't know the actual rules or regulations on failing someone for visual inspection. But I've heard stories about people passing the sniffer out here and being failed because they couldn't visibly identify the cats or something. I'm not too worried about the visual part, odds are I won't...

    Yeah, they run the car on a dyno and do an obd2 scan and sniffer test. They can also fail you on a visual inspection I think. I'm on a local co forum, and any upgraded dp, catted or not, has a good chance of failing usually. Unless you have an emissions tune or something from your tuner, which I...

    A little hiccup with spraying the rims, so I won't be picking them up until next week sometime. Hopefully have then mounted next Saturday, I'll definitely post up some pics when they get put on! Gonna have my car emissions tested at lunch today. There's a really good chance it fails due to the...
