I tried to chav it up with the Prodrive silencers but even they're subtle until you absolutely rag it.

I've heard it called the 'Gentlemen's STI', it really is

Ha what does that make mine then.. on second thoughts don't answer that

Look at Haywood & Scott for good exhausts - mine is a much nicer noise but not too in your face.

Yep not many Chav options on the Legacy (thankfully)
Those Prodrive boxes a expensive, I'll look at H&S when the OEM ones die.
Considered some lighter alloys, ALK's and ARB's
Already researched the SC option

The 2.5 Auto Legacy we replaced the Impreza with only gets 30mpg - no matter what type of driving we do, it won't budge from 30.

So Mikey, your 26 doesn't seem bad considering the extra performance.

56k miles, interior still looking good, no quibbles about quality, nothing playing up, nothing fallen off, noting broken. Loving it to be honest.

Look at H&S! Really god systems, they have non-chavvy ones, and their after-sales is good too

If so, I've heard good things about them
