I've seen couple of WRX & Forester with XForce turbo to back exhaust system, & they seem to be very value for the money.
I know genie makes good extractor, but I only seen it on a RVR (EVO 2/3 motor) I know theres a workshop in WA use a lot of genie products, i think is X Racing or something, not sure.

Its a good idea... more Kw's for $ value in this than other things..
I spent 1300 on mine, custom made - but it was stainless.

Then that is a real good price - just make sure they don't go el-cheapo on the cat & silencer muffler. Mine was a bit more cause I had dual tips put on as well
