A few weeks back, as Zac was on his way out of the office to go drive the new Porsche 911, he fired off a brief but exciting note: The STI accessories we’d pondered installing on our 2023 Subaru WRX Limited for several months were not only approved, but waiting for us at the local Subaru dealer. Oh, and could I have it ready for pickup in less than 24 hours? Well, heck yeah, I could, and did. But first, some preparation.
Not knowing exactly which parts were waiting for us, I figured it would be wise to assume they could throw anything in the catalog at us. That meant it might be wise to record some exhaust clips for comparison purposes on the off chance the STI mufflers were among the items we’d receive. Good thing too, as the WRX was returned to me 72 hours later with the upgraded exhaust, a new front strut tower brace and a short-shift kit. Not a single purely cosmetic item to be found. You love to see it.
