My 04 sti most certainly did have DCCD.
It made a significant difference in how the car handled, from 50/50 to whatever full rear bias was. It was very fun.
No radio or floor mats though.

Yes, that was the main reason I sold my sti (well, besides the insurance payments)...constant shifting and hitting the rev limiter. Isn't that why on some years, the WRX is faster in a drag race than the same year's sti? SOme here like to shift often, I don't.
I'd rather have the 6th be an extra overdrive.

And in order to use the 07+ sti trans in a 5mt OBXT you also need uprights/suspension components? hubs? calipers? Why?!!??!! I just want to remove 5mt, install 6mt, aftermarket DCCD brain, make more MPGs./

I do 99% highway cruising. There's 1 traffic light on my way to work (across central NJ BTW), and that's at the entrance to my work's parking lot...can't avoid it.
But more importantly, if I keep this car I want to make more power than the 5mt can handle, in which case I don't care that much about fuel economy. It'll still do similar/better than a tahoe.

welp
that Apex ECV came in and I installed it
went on just fine no issues at all
it cuts down a SURPRISINGLY small amount of noise tho
like, maybe 15%
Kinda expected dramatic results, and it just barely takes the edge off. Not silent/loud like in the videos
Didn't drive with it much tho so I guess we'll see

Also I ordered a used replacement diff for my outback, should be here in a week or so. Plan is to clean it, new axle seals, install it, fresh oil, and done. Anything I'm missing? It seems straight forward enough.

The #1 reason for it is so that I don't wake my son in the morning when I start the car in garage. The #2 reason is the deep strong rumble/pressure waves at super low rpm.
It didn't do hardly anything for the cold start.. It did help a bit with the low rpm pressure.
My car sounds amazing at WOT. I really like the exhaust. That's why I didn't change the exhaust but decided to try this.
Still not sure how I feel about it. Might try to return it cause I just don't feel like it's helping all that much.
