wtf?? a rex?? are you serious dude. no chance.

yes man, wrx are very much unique, from their boxer engine, their topmount ic, to their own awd management systems that battle the EVO's.

If you mistook the way he said "Like a WRX" to refer to the topic of this post, then yes this Falcon don't sound nothing like a WRX. or a skyline. But unfortunately for you he was only saying that wrx and skylines are both unique.

ish Proficient

Some HEAVEY decibel science going on here... :P

Most Over head cam injected 6s can sound similar depending on situation

with the turbos dampenig the bang's, same goes for none turbo which usualy sound disgusting large diameter unless thought about...

The rexs take a bit to get used to sound wise as the boxer config tends to muffle rpm sounds together

3000 rpm sounds like 1500 etc

      Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).

      Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
