has anyone datalogged this car to check the quality of the state of tune on it? a turboback exhaust on a stock ecu’d WRX is asking for trouble. factory subaru tunes are garbage and adding “bolt on” parts to the car makes it even more unstable. even if it doesnt sell… get it checked out asap for your own good. GLWS either way.
