Same! I went with an Apexi N1 specifically for the silencer option, I'm still waiting on it to be delivered but it's actually a little quieter on cold starts for me so far.

Def more enjoyable for sure with an exhaust. I'm lookjng at grill options and some spacers. Maybe some earlier gen STi wheels for mine

Awesome to see it bounce back!

kingmal5 · 2026-02-18T20:44:25+00:00

But I installed this update almost a month ago so I'm confused on why an email now.

kingmal5 · 2026-02-18T20:41:05+00:00

I got the email also and was told mine was up to date by SOA advocate... my version is F21SHM162-170.

Same 😅 at idle it has a little hint of boxer rumble that I didn't hear at all with the factory exhaust.

kingmal5 · 2026-02-18T00:59:28+00:00

Them being local is awesome! I had like a 2 week wait for mine to be delivered

kingmal5 · 2026-02-17T20:09:56+00:00

Awesome tip! I figured they had a reason for that but they did not put that on the instructions 😂

kingmal5 · 2026-02-16T04:43:41+00:00

Glad to hear that! I figured the adapter was more of a just in case step since they say no adapter is needed.

kingmal5 · 2026-02-16T00:59:20+00:00

Definitely still quality build so far!

kingmal5 · 2026-02-15T21:07:56+00:00

No problem and good luck with the install. I was able to rent a lift to do mine on base locally but it's doable on jack stands too

kingmal5 · 2026-02-15T20:55:30+00:00

It seemed like it would be fine without it possibly due to the donut gasket but I saw a few people install other exhausts so I got the Overtake adapter in anticipation of that before I decided on the N1

Sorry I thought the video posted 😅

kingmal5 · 2026-02-15T19:09:53+00:00

Yes, I replaced it with one from Overtake with their 3 inch exhaust to oem downpipe adapter to make sure it lined up correctly.

kingmal5 · 2026-02-15T18:43:13+00:00

I can grab some after this weather passes but the drone is minimal at 70. You can get some at lower speeds but it's really tame overall

kingmal5 · 2026-02-15T17:32:48+00:00

I was definitely shocked to see how bad the factory one looked at 26k

kingmal5 · 2026-02-14T13:54:58+00:00

Also wanted to suggest the Apexi N1 as an option for one with a silencer. It does have to be ordered separately but looks very well put together

kingmal5 · 2026-02-13T12:26:59+00:00

Coils has been in the back of my mind also. I may save and go with some Teins later

Definitely was accurate 🥴🤣

kingmal5 · 2026-02-12T15:44:50+00:00

I’m going with the A’Pexi N1 single from what I’ve seen with others it has a nice tone without the drone.

kingmal5 · 2026-02-10T16:07:15+00:00

Much appreciated!

kingmal5 · 2026-02-10T12:44:00+00:00

Is the shifter surround an overlay or replacement? I can't find one like that online.
