A fellow recently sent me this link with some great photos of my 402 that I didn't know existed. Torque GT took these pics before I collected it.

Seen/read it many times. Looks absolutely brilliant in the photos. Hope you are enjoying it. I think I might get a TB STI to put away for a year or two (just to use occasionally). https://www.torque-gt.co.uk/subaru-legacy-sti-s402...

It looks like the standard TBSTi exhaust tbh. They do have a quad outlet. On the link above for the stage 3 upgrade, that shows for manual transmission only. But it does look like a nice car. My favourite colour too.
Good spot MDMA...lolI did want the Bright blue... or basically this car! https://www.torque-gt.co.uk/subaru-legacy-sti.html
But sold before I could gather funds... But now do appreciate the dark grey more and fits wth being more of a sleeper wagon!
I imagine the down pipe might not fit... but intercooler upgrade and induction kit might be sufficient!
The Current exhaust is stock... but an upgrade to this should have an impact!

lol
The guys at Torque really know their stuff and it seems I won't need to add that performance package... apparently an upgraded downpipe, cosworth air filter and a tune and it could be pushing 350 bhp!!!!
Unfortunately no pics yet... haven't really had a chance!
The car is immaculate and amazing to drive... automatic hasn't been that bad... great to cruise, then country roads are still fun to hack around on!
Not sure I'm going for the loud exhaust now... but still tempted by blow off valve! But waiting a few months before I take it for a tune!
Anyone interested in one or similar model... I would strongly recommend the car!

I bought one of these a month or so ago, a facelift 2006. Mostly stock but with Bilstein coilovers, bigger K2 Gear scoop and a weird splitter on the back of the bonnet. Had it mapped by Duncan at racedynamix to play better with 99 fuel, a really serious detailing and in next week for a droplink and some bushes - it is 13 years old I suppose.
Already been up to the Lakes and Snowdonia with 4 adults and all our camping gear (and some late evening drives with a much lighter load, ahem), plus been daily-ing it to work etc. A really impressive car, civilised for getting to work or going to the supermarket but absolutely lunacy when you get on it. Handles really surprisingly well for a big estate car, feels very light and sharp.
I'd be careful pushing it much beyond 300hp without forging it mind, on the uklegacy forum nearly everyone who's gone much past that has killed their engine fairly quickly.

Very nice. From Prodrift? My FSTI was from Charlie. Any more pics? I've dropped TGT a message to let me know when any more are due in. I think one of these will be my next buy.

The rear bumper does appear to be aftermarket. If I were a betting man I'd say it's a K2 Gear Reiz from the same product line as the bonnet scoop. I'm generally not a bodykit kind of guy but it's super subtle.
The car has the full 06+ Si drive etc; none of the facelift cars I test drove (others were just Spec Bs) had a push button start though.

I have a facelift model without push button start, mines a 2006 , I believe the 2007 models on have the push button start.

Looks in great condition. Aftermarket rear bumper? Also, front end seems to be facelift but you don't have the push button start. Is it possible it has mix of pre facelift/facelift parts being a late 2006 car?
