WRX FPR Installed

I finally had a chance to install the FPR from a 2002 WRX this past weekend with thanksgiving break from school, it ended being a VERY long process. Intially, as you can see in the pics, the bend caused quite a few problems, I ended up having to heat it up straighten it out, then shave a little bit of the end off. It worked! and I was extremely, and it really paid off the first time I fired up the engine and took it down the backroads behind my house. The lower RPMs seem to pull a lot stronger than before I installed it, and overall acceleration seems to be quicker. I would not recommend installing the WRX FPR to anyone else though, it would have been much easier to put one from a 2.5 RS like Chike did.

Congrats. Yes, the Impreza fpr would be a much easier install as it doesn't have that bend in it.

BTW, this is what the SVX & IMpreza fpr looks like w/o those little caps on the end...
