I just purchased a GFB (Go Fast Bits) piece and it's very nice. I have the Stealth FX, it's fully adjustable ... from 100% recirc to 100% atmospheric. It allows to to adjust it as far as possible to get maximum noise without backfiring from making the mixture to rich.
If you run 100% atomospheric, you'll run rich, assuming you have a WRX ... I would think the STi is the same, I wouldn't know though.
