Well, I did my first free mods to the WRX.

1. Took out the intake silencer, aka "snorkus"

I can really hear the turbo spool real loud now, as well as made the catback a little louder it seems.

2. Deleted the Subaru badge/pillar in the grille

I really like the way this looks compared to stock.

I want to clear out the headlight housings next and paint them black, as well as bebadge the trunk lid.

To remove the snorkus did you have to remove the wheel well lining? When we installed Janelle's SPT intake we left it in the fender for simplicity sake, but I'd like to eventually remove it for a cleaner install.

Ya, I just took the passenger wheel off, then took out a few clips for the fender lining, unbolted the snorkus, and shimmied it out of there. I didn't even take the fender lining completely off, just about halfway off. Whole thing took about maybe 20-30 mins.

Looks good! We wanted to debadge Janelle's trunk but the '06-07 rear emblem has pins that go through the lid.

Ghey....like my last 3 cars before this were the same way other than the DSM.

That bezel looks nice, I will have to show that to Janelle. How much was it?
