UPDATE!
Two weeks ago we removed the fart-can and installed the '02 WRX catback twin-tips that I picked up last summer. When removed it, the donut gasket crumbled like 10 year old pastry.
We now call the Shoopster, Shhhpster
Also changed the downpipe for another (stock, used, below). Mine was blackened under the catalyst section, probably what was throwing the P0420 code. I'll know more on that when we get around to opening up the stock shielding.
Today we tackled the air intake: Shoop is currently a WTF tuning candidate, and after my first logs Matty asked me to re-install the stock airbox. Since I'm missing a couple of the original parts (those that go in the inner fender), we decided to try this airbox mod that we read about here. I don't expect gains like the one in this blog, but it's a quick and cheap fix and it'll reduce some turbulence.
And, with the air intake (and windshield washer container on the other side) removed, we also tackled changing the spark plugs.
Fiiinally cleaned the MAF sensor
And the sparks, NGK Iridium
A brief drive around the block and the Shoopster's running more smoothly. Hope to log some pulls this weekend.
