18HP for 700 bucks... seems alittle pricey.

Subscribed. Wish the price was a lot lower than what it is $700.00. That's more than an Catback Exhaust. Wonder if they would do a group buy??

Update: Just wrote them asking if they would allow a group buy if anyone is interested or if they offered up a military discount. I wonder how this would go with my exhaust, intake and tune

A friend of mine instaled a aftermarket downpipe on his STi... If done right there is serious HP to be gained. I'm sure there will be more of these coming out. I see Rick@Livernosis said he is working on one at his shop. Let me know if they get back to you with a more reasonable price.

I'll wait for Livernois to come out with their downpipe before I make a decision.

Will do. Might just wait on Rick@Livernois. Trusted them on my G8 GT mods

You've got to remember that it has 2 high flow cats in it. I'm imagining that's where a lot of the back pressure is being freed up. Those are usually around $200/ea from Summit. So $700 for the system really isn't that bad. After I get my tuner that's my next mod along with a high flow mid cat. Then I'll probably be done with mods on the truck.
