Right click and download these to your hard disk, there's a better chance of them running from there.
I'm also converting most of these to Windows Media Format, they are smaller and

Cobb TBE Exhaust for the 2005 Subaru STi
We sourced the Cobb TBE Exhaust with high flow cat.
Installation was very straight forward. Here are some various pictures during the installation of the TBE Exhaust on the 2005 STi.
The TBE exhaust barely unpacked from the shipping boxes.
Wide collector mouth on the downpipe section.

the 2005 Subaru STi
The offset for the 2005 model year has been redesigned. The pattern is 5 x 114.5, which is different than any up to 2005 wrx, and different than the 2004 STi.
I chose the Rays Foundry G-Games in gunmetal. These are offset 42, and a wide 18 x 8.5" rim.
These rims are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza S03's. At 235 wide, these tires are hard to break free with AWD!

Coilover Suspension Installation for the 2005 Subaru STi
On 1/29 we will be installing our Tein Flex Coilover Suspension. The suspension on the 2005 model STi is redesigned, so a new strut or coilover is required. 2004 STi or wrx suspension will not install in the 2005 STi. We will be having an install party, and will be doing an awesome writeup!
Stay tuned for all the details. If you are curious, you might want to check out a previous JIC coilover install that we did on a RX8 when it first came out:

Suspension for the 2005 Subaru STi
The suspension for the 2005 model year has been redesigned. Most 2004 STi springs will work, but you will need specific coilovers or struts for the 2005 model year.
Coilovers that are now available:
I ordered the Flex's with the EDFC Controller and they should be here in a week or so

Welcome to the world of the 2005 Subaru STi
The picture above is with the Rays G-games rims in 18x8.5, and with the car on Tein Coilovers. EDFC works great (again, remember our 2002 wrx?).
We acquired our 2005 STi on 10/30/2004. More information will follow, but look at what we have done in the past. So stay tuned!
Let's see what's on order:
* installed
Been taking a bunch of pics so expect some writeups of this stuff soon!!!
