As with all user-installable system upgrades, we recommend that you take a step-by-step approach when climbing the performance ladder. This means that it is a good idea to start with our Stage Zero offering and move on up from there if you feel the need for even more performance. While it may be temping to jump into our highest output system, taking the step-by-step upgrade approach often yields the most satisfying results.

If you choose to upgrade to the next Stage package offering, simply pay the difference in retail price between the new and old Stage package. In other words, if you already have a Stage Zero package and you want to upgrade to Stage Two, your price is $4245-$1095 or $3050. This upgrade price includes all necessary components as well as the required ECU remapping service.

EXHAUST

Vishnu 321 Up-Pipe
The first and still the best up-pipe on the market. Unmatched in construction, materials and durability, their now legendary Vishnu Up-Pipe sets the standards that all other up-pipes are judged by. Made of ultra-high quality 321 (not 304) Stainless Steel, CNC-cut ½ inch thick Stainless Steel flanges and heavy-duty flange reinforcements on both ends, their Up-Pipe will last the test of time. Good for approximately 10 wheel horsepower and a 100-200 degree F reduction in exhaust gas temperatures. 321 durability insures maximum reliability in all-out race applications where sustained EGTs can get the best of any lesser material. See Dyno Graphs.

$279

Vishnu 321 Up-Pipe Kit

$309

Vishnu 321 Flex Up-Pipe
Like their legendary 321 Up-Pipe, Vishnu's new Flex Up-pipe offers heavy-duty construction and hefty ½-inch cut flanges. With a high quality flex-joint to relieve much of the tension endured by rigid up-pipe, this 304 Stainless constructed piece is well suited for hard-driven street cars that see constant heat cycling.

$309

Vishnu Downpipe
A fully divorced wastegate bypass tube ensures minimal exhaust backpressure and low turbulence in the critical area just downstream of the turbine discharge. This piece replaces the first cat section in the factory exhaust system, greatly improving turbo spool-up and power output.

$425

Vishnu Cat-Back Exhaust System
Beautifully constructed in 303 Stainless Steel and designed to induce absolute minimal exhaust gas backpressure, Vishnu's cat-back system is a great, easy-to-install performance upgrade. A straight-through muffler designed and a carefully placed resonator means big horsepower gains with drone-free performance!

$795

Vishnu Turbo-Back Exhaust (Signature Series)
Lowest possible backpressure and turbulence levels coupled with high fit and finish. CNC-cut ½ inch flanges, high-grade 304 stainless steel construction, ultra-quality V-Band clamps, a close-coupled catalytic converter, a functional divorced wastegate bypass, a large muffler canister and careful pipe bending gives birth to the finest turbo-back exhaust system currently available for the WRX. No other exhaust system offers as broad a torque curve. Quiet during cruise and aggressive-sounding under boost, this exhaust system is for those who want maximum performance with minimal compromise. Available with or without catalytic converter.

$1750

Vishnu Turbo-Back Exhaust (Dual Tip)
Through countless hours of dynamometer testing, Vishnu are proud to offer the nicest-sounding, nicest-looking and best-performing single-dump exhaust system they've ever tested on their dyno. Not only does it make more power than any other single-dump exhaust systems, it also looks very stock-like with its elegant dual exhaust tips. And tucked high under the car, this fully-polished and resonated system will not scrape on speed bumps. The 4-piece design also makes for easy to installation and fitment.

Please note: will not clear with the diff protector. Shown with optional hanger kit.

$1300

Hard Polyurethane Hanger Kit
Much stiffer than the factory rubber hangers, Vishnu's colorful replacements will keep your large-diameter aftermarket exhaust system in check and bang-free.

$40

INTERCOOLERS

Vishnu Ultimate Top Mount Intercooler
It's easy to grab some oversized intercooler core, slap on some end tanks and call it a "high efficiency" intercooler. After all, it's not hard to improve upon the stock intercooler's flow-limited tube-and-fin design. However, making the best intercooler possible requires careful flow testing, thermal transfer analysis, computer-designed end-tanks, and so on. It took Vishnu some time to make it, but it's close to being finally available. Ultra-low pressure drop combined with extraordinarily high cooling efficiency. Resistant to heat soak and very quick to cool! Unlike other aftermarket intercoolers, this one seals perfectly with the STI intercooler duct. This translates to ultimate real-world cooling efficiency since no part of the intercooler core goes un-ducted and suffers from heatsoak. Compatible with aftermarket strut-braces. Click here to see what makes your intercooler different from the rest.

$975

STI Splitter
The Sti Intercooler duct, with integrated air splitter, is a perfect companion piece to the brand new Vishnu Top Mount intercooler. It allows perfect ducting and sealing to their Top-Mount Intercooler, greatly assisting airflow through its core. The splitter also works great with an upgraded STi hood scoop to ultimate flow to the intercooler core.

$130

Vishnu Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit..........$139* (regular $159 - special price available with Intercooler purchase only. For purchase without Intercooler, please visit the Turbochargers section below.)
Far better-fitting and much stronger than the Samco silicone hose kit, Vishnu's very own hose set will keep your air flowing smoothly for the life of your car. Good for 5-7 horsepower gains on our dyno, this upgrade should be considered a must for anyone trying to make maximum horsepower with minimal turbo stress. Does wonders for low RPM spool-up too

$139

TURBOCHARGERS

VF30 Turbocharger
Of all the bolt-on IHI turbochargers they’ve tested, this is Vishnu's favorite. Good for up to 350hp with a nice, broad torque curve, this turbocharger can, with the right associated components, transform your car into one fast little stinker. With full boost available by 3300rpm, this turbo isn’t laggy. [VF34 pictured]

$995

VF34 Turbocharger
As the ball-bearing cousin to the VF30, this turbocharger can withstand all the punishment you can give it. Like the VF30, which shares identical turbine and compressor wheels, this turbo is good for up to 350hp with a equally broad torque curve. While some claim that this turbo spools up quicker than the standard sleeve bearing VF30, we have yet to record a significant difference.

$1450

Vishnu Ball-Bearing Turbocharger
Short of opting for a T3/T04 set up, this heavy-hitting bolt-on Garret-based turbocharger is designed for big boost and high octane conditions. Best left for racers who don’t mind sacrificing low-end response for a thrilling top-end rush. Good for over 400 horsepower when coupled with appropriate components.

$1650

Vishnu Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit
Far better-fitting and much stronger than the Samco silicone hose kit, Vishnu's very own hose set will keep your air flowing smoothly for the life of your car. Good for 5-7 horsepower gains on our dyno, this upgrade should be considered a must for anyone trying to make maximum horsepower with minimal turbo stress. Does wonders for low RPM spool-up too.

Much smoother internally compared to the popular Samco hose upgrade. This results in even better flow characteristics.

$159

BRAKES

Stoptech Big Brake Kit
From torture testing on Vishnu's very own Project WRX Fed Ex Shipping Wonder Wagon and Team SMR's victorious USTCC and Open Track Challenge Racecar, it became clear that the Stoptech Big Brake kit can take all that can be dished out. With massive 12.9-inch slotted front rotors, goliath four-piston calipers and DOT-approved stainless steel brake lines, this upgrade (along with a set of good tires) will make your WRX out-brake just about anything on the road today-- over and over again with exemplary consistency! For even better pedal feel and response, add on a set of DOT-approved rear brake lines (optional). Now in stock in limited quantities!

(includes 2 rotors, 2 hats, 2 calipers, 2 brackets, front stainless steel lines and 2 brake pads)

SUSPENSION

Vishnu Suspension System
If you’ve ever gone on a test drive (aka “hot-lap”) with Vishnu, you know how hard they drive and how far they push the limits of the vehicle. Now imagine how thoroughly engineered, tweaked and tested their very own suspension system must be. It took them no less than two years to release a product that they would be proud to put their name on. And this is it. Custom-built by JIC to Vishnu's spring rate and shock damping specifications, you will not find another suspension system that offers it unique combination of immediacy, refinement, balance and comfort.

$1850

FUEL / IGNITION

XEDE
Includes XEDE computer, Plug-In Harness, XMAP Tuning Software and 6' Serial cable.

$895

STi fuel Injectors
If you want to make much more than 300HP, you need to upgrade your injectors. Simple as that. Vishnu have tested the factory injectors to flow approximately 440cc/min. These direct-replacement injectors flow a healthy 530cc/min. Safe for up to 370HP at stock fuel pressures. An absolute must-have for those running upgraded turbochargers.

$495

User-Tunable Re-flashed ECU
Vishnu's second generation of Vishnu Re-Mapped ECUs now offer map switching and real-time user-tuning features. This finally bridges the gap between stock ECU drivability and aftermarket ECU performance and tune-ability. Simply put, there is no other ECU option on the market offering this level of no-fuss performance and flexibility. Through the use of the optional Delta Dash data-logging software, it is now possible to revise your rev limits, idle speed as well as fuel, timing and boost curves for the use of high octane race gas, valet conditions or whatever the situation may demand. Vishnu need to have your factory ECU shipped to them for reflashing. There is no core exchange available.

Vishnu Main Power Pulley Kit
By far, the most cost-effective upgrade on the market. Replaces the factory crank pulley with a lighter (but not too light) and under-driven (but not too under-driven) aluminum pulley. Engineered for maximum power gains with no discernable loss in lighting, stereo, or alternator performance, our underdrive pulley will knock your socks off as soon as you get on the gas. Say goodbye to parasitic losses and hello to 7-10 additional wheel horsepower. Includes belts.See Dyno Graphs

$172

Vishnu Alternator Power Pulley Kit
A nice alternative for those who don't want to change their crank pulley. Instead, this handsome CNC-machined aluminum pulley takes the place of the factory steel alternator pulley, offering a mild 15% under-drive and a slight weight saving. Just enough to squeeze out an additional 3-4 horsepower without introducing any discernable loss in lighting, stereo or voltage regulation performance. Includes belt.

$95

Vishnu Battery Tie-Down
Okay, so it’s the only product that we offer that won’t improve your car’s performance. But hey, it sure does look a lot more snazzy that that ugly batter tie-down you get from the factory!

$35

Vishnu Key Chain
Anodized aluminum with the Vishnu logo custom etched makes a great companion piece to your Stage package.
