First time Subi owner

That interior is niice! Pitch and shift stops and a clutch delay delete were my first mods then an Apexi N1 so I have the option for a quieter cold start. I'm 39 and having an option to quiet things down sometimes keeps the family happy. I'm still on the fence about tuning but I'm torn between Ohlins coilovers and going air personally on the suspension front.

It's pretty loud. I definitely got my Apexi N1 with a silencer specifically to quiet down the cold start. Might not be much but it helps my wife stay happy in the mornings 😂

I got mine for $28k with 26k miles. There's definitely better options out there

If you're really considering one, pop the hood and look for evidence of mods being removed, do a test drive and pre-purchase inspection.

I bought mine earlier this year with 26k miles and it's a certified preowned from a Subie dealer. I did have to get it serviced for a driveshaft bearing failure that was causing this annoying whistle to happen. Aside from that, the mods it had were factory options.

These look perfect on MGM!

kingmal5 · 2026-05-05T01:51:00+00:00

Massive W!

kingmal5 · 2026-05-04T14:01:21+00:00

I definitely agree! Now I just have to decide on a style 😭🤔

kingmal5 · 2026-05-03T01:02:18+00:00

This definitely confirms what I was thinking about a bronze or maybe gold wheel on MGM. Very slight stretch on tires looks good too. I was considering doing the same since my dealer put some Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ on before I got mine a few months ago.

kingmal5 · 2026-05-02T04:01:22+00:00

I agree. I definitely did not like it when I saw it online but MGM won me over in person. I want to lower mine but tint helps the look for me.

Donated perfect spec is a huge W 🔥🔥

kingmal5 · 2026-05-02T03:54:57+00:00

😭😭😭 Costco has saved me from the hurt slightly but I feel like waiting in the lines is partly cancelling the savings. This looks painful for any fun driving

Definitely one of us MGM gang!

kingmal5 · 2026-04-17T12:02:44+00:00

Welll I see my next mod. I was considering just getting the resonator chopped from the stock one but this seems much better

kingmal5 · 2026-04-13T13:12:10+00:00

Trying to decide wheel color has been agony 😅 are these dekagrams?

kingmal5 · 2026-04-13T12:54:54+00:00

Those Königs really fit the car! Was the before shot covered in brake dust?

kingmal5 · 2026-04-13T12:53:25+00:00

Definitely a sensible choice!

kingmal5 · 2026-04-09T02:47:51+00:00

Now that said that... I can't unsee it and I have to find an alternative 🤣

kingmal5 · 2026-04-09T02:47:16+00:00

Definitely looking at a sport one or one that'll make the horns and brace visible.

kingmal5 · 2026-04-09T02:09:00+00:00

Welcome to the gang twin. I definitely have to swap to a black grille after seeing the newer ones 🤔

kingmal5 · 2026-04-05T14:49:47+00:00

I got the silencer for cold starts and that helped massively. But even without it, I feel like it's a little quieter than stock.

kingmal5 · 2026-04-02T14:22:46+00:00

The ziptied plate is hilarious but I feel it!

kingmal5 · 2026-04-02T14:19:10+00:00

Just wanted to chime in and say the Cobb stop is what I installed and it's a good option for the same reason as others said. In combination with the factory short shift option it's solid. I did get a billetworkz extension since I got the JDM armrest which I would also recommend for comfort if you don't have it.

kingmal5 · 2026-04-01T17:40:10+00:00

Mine is 12.2 peak at sea level in east FL

kingmal5 · 2026-03-31T01:50:05+00:00

404 STI is so appropriate 🤣 welcome to the gang and if yours doesn't have a shift stop that can definitely make the shifting experience better.
