Hello all, long time lurker now posting. Finally bite the bullet and pulled the trigger on a 07' berlina black S. Loving her so far. Came from an 07' STI and loved that car also but was time for a change and I didnt need the extra space. She is all stock no mods yet but not sure what to do to her. I want to get an exhaust but I dont want it to be too loud and want it to look stock as well, any suggestions? I also, want a new radio the stock one sucks. Can anyone also suggest a good radio for ipod use? Anyways miss the torque but love the drop top and high end sound of the engine really fun car. Thanks guys

Yea Borla does good exhaust. It's the noisy drone and rivet exhausts that I don't like just a nice clean sound. Was thinking about a k and n fipk as well

Thanks Quickslvr, I like the fact that the car does not feel like my sedan with balls STI, the S feels like a serious sports call the entire feel is different and thats what got me when I drove it the first time. I guess sometimes its not always about the power but the feel at least to me is everything.

Anyone know of a good intake? I saw that arc and carbon8 makes a nice intake but kinda pricey.

Most people go with the AEM V2... itll run you about 300.00, as will an Injen.. if you want a bit cheaper go with Fujita. Those would be the most common options for a normal CAI... other companies like J's, Password JDM, and a bunch others make full carbon fiber intake systems.. but those will run you about a grand lol.

Here are a couple of links for sponsers/shops that offer a good selection of aftermarket parts for the S:
