The exhaust heat shield is actually OEM from japan. I purchased it through a website that carries them. I think it looks and functions great for an OEM parts.

LOL, I don't think they would give negative comments. At least I wouldn't I am a car enthusiast and I could care less what type of car I'm looking at as long as it is tasteful.

I did get the car retuned but never had a chance to run it again. The worst part is I am bored of the power setup I want more and I'm planning on a new setup for next year. Basically a Sti 2.5L shortblock with built internals and a GT35R .83 A/R turbo kit. I am hoping for very high 400 awhp on pump fuel (93 octane) and definitely mid 500 awhp on 100 octance. Then the car should be super fast.

yeah, that sounds about right. my buddy has an 05 STi, and with his stock block with a GT35r he made mid 400s on 91, and 566 on race gas. he should be getting his car back on friday with a COBB block bumped to 2.6L shooting for 500s on 91 and some high *** number on race gas...650?!?!?

here is a link to his car.http://harmanmotive.com/Images/gallery/ChaseGT35R.html

A FMIC is not necessary. I've seen a few WRX/Sti running larger TMIC (Top Mounted Intercoolers) putting out great numbers. But after a certain horsepower range a FMIC ciculates air better and maximizes the performance the turbo can put out. Ideally you would want a V-mounted setup (cost BIG $$$) because the tubing is a lot shorter and the air moves quicker through the pipes to the turbo and motor. Plus IMO FMIC's look great and intimidating to most tuners. I love them personally, but like I said they are not necessary unless you are trying to put down insane horsepower numbers.
