Seems like a big jump from the Mazda, hp/AWD-wise. I'm still getting familiar with the performance coming from tuned turbo Subarus. The suspension upgrades make plenty of safe sense. As for exhaust, while I would love to get a better tone, you have to consider any drone inside, esp. at cruising speeds. IMO you can only judge that in your car after any aftermarket install on your car. Video clips of another's car don't necessarily do justice. Enjoy the car and get used to the performance and features safely this winter and use the time to research. Mine's a garage queen, so my '06 spec b will be getting the sideways winter punishment. Oh, I also went w/aftermaket intakes, K&N, having experience with those on the subies.

Thanks! I love the color you chose. Would’ve been my second pick! I am interested in looking at the MBRP. Let me know if you like it.

Most definitely a big jump. She was a peppy lil 2.5, enjoyed seeing how far I could push her haha.
We knew we wanted AWD for the next purchase but it was my husband that suggested the Stinger at first if I'm honest. My Brother drives a tuned turbo Subaru so I know what you mean. I knew I was going to have to research but after signing up here I definitely underestimated
. The hubby wants intakes, so that may be the first performance mod. I will be testing the snow capabilities but we have a Sierra Pickup that'll fair the worst, don't worry 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

I have the MBRP and they’re great. Nice sound, has opened up a bit in the year they have been on and hey were $1140 to my door from T-dot. I paired them with the Injen intakes. No regrets with either.

Hello Billy, I know it's been a while but I just want to ask how loud the Injen Intakes + MBRP Exhaust combo is. Let just say stock car is 1 and 10 is like Borla for example? How would you rate your set up?

The Injen’s alone make quite a pleasant sound difference. The MBRP (with tips) are not much more than stock but more. Add Ark secondarys to the combo makes a huge difference. On a 1-10 If stock is 5 the MBRP would be a 6.5 add Ark 8. I don’t know what it would be like without tips. Hope this helps. Cheers
