I drove both an 08 and 10 before I bought mine. Honestly, the extra power in the 09+ is hardly noticeable. They are tuned differently, the 08 feels like it has more power down low, and the 09+ are spread more evenly throughout the power band. I bought the 08 because it was 4k cheaper :) Either way you'll be happy because they are very tune-able cars. I bolted on some tighter sway bars, and a cobb tune, and couldn't be happier as a daily driver.
I dont mean the installation cost... I mean the actually cost of the muffler - 1 HKS muffler is $250.. 2 HKS muffler is $500. Pretty big difference... I just went with the single cause I didn't want to put out too much money
Which mufflers did you use? I have an 08 too and am working on getting an exhaust set up.. I'm still debating on whether or not to just make it a 3" setup to a single muffler or not. I'm leaning towards a sinle muffler cause its cheaper that way :)
are u serious? have you heard an srt-4? they sound nothing like subies in general, but this car leans more toward the sound of an srt4. its a subie, sounds like a subie, and will always be a subie but the exhaust note slightly resembles that of an srt4. but then again, as a subie guy i should know the cult gets their panties in a twist if you compare anything on a wrx to an srt4.lol.

It doesn't resemble a SRT4 in any way... Unless I missed something. I'd still like to see one sound like a flat 4. You got links to any?
