Subaru STI 2010 to pro tune or just buy Cobb accessport

[FiLeZz]

Your thoughts?

should I have a protune or do cobb access port or do cobb access port and protune map?

You can just get the AP and run their Stage 1 OTS map and either sell it used or keep it for a pro-tune later on. I just put Cobb's stage 1 OTS map on my 06 STi and it really felt a lot different. Power delivery was a lot smoother, torque peaks sooner, boost peaks sooner and tapers to red line better. And you can log your data, and send it into Cobb if you have any concerns about it.


edit: It is a pretty safe and reliable map, and it comes in a conveniently sized package. Check Nasioc, you can get them new for about 525 from the vendors. and around 400 used.

if you mod it, you should get a custom tune

if you plan on keeping it stock or within stage 1 bolt ons just go Cobb and resell later like hybrid said

pics of STI!

 

[HybridSquirrel]

he can get a pro-tune on his AP later if he decides to mod

9500 miles now.

 

[FiLeZz]

or should I get Quad Titanium Tips cat back?

 

[HybridSquirrel]

you should break it in before doing a tune

 

[FiLeZz]

9500 miles on it it is broken in pic is 2 years old.. LOL

If you want a better sounding exhaust, get the cat back. You generally don't need a tune for a cat back. If you want more power, with a better feeling power band, get the AP.


If you get a down pipe later on with a cat back, you will need a tune. Which is why I said get the AP. If you get a tune now, with no turbo back, you will need one later. (extra moneys). If you get the AP, you can use their stage 2 map when you get an exhaust later.

Wow, that's low mileage. Our 2011 WRX has around 22000 miles now. It's a daily driver, plus we've driven a round trip from Wisconsin to Mississippi.

Your car looks identical to mine... I have the Cobb stage 1 kit on otherwise bone stock car, and it runs great.

Throw a Turboback on it and go stage 2! really nice jump in power! plan to do that with my cousins 09 WRX with a Cobb Accessport. makes it easy on him and its tuned for a variety of safety for him. be is looking at about 280awhp and 315ft lbs of tq with that from reading the dyno numbers over on NASIOC. i can only imagine what an Sti would bring the to the table

 

[ballmode]

i always thought USDM STi's redlined at 7k... guess they dont anymore

 

[stag3]

get all the parts then protune it

 

[FiLeZz]

Cobb access port and Greddy Ti C Exhaust on the way..

Good call on the AP, gets you several features a pro-tune doesn't.

 

[NutBucket]

Oof. Hope you like it loud.

 

[FiLeZz]

Oof. Hope you like it loud.

They make a silencer from what I understand.

If I dont like it I can always unload it on Craigslist.

 

[brainhulk]

with the access port you can have the tuner set you up with custom tunes and run the different maps for race gas, premium, meth at your finger tips

 

[NutBucket]

Silencers suck. We have one for the wife's car but its only used if her grandma is in the car. It noticeably affects the butt dyno in a bad way.

 

[FiLeZz]

$600 bux.. Was worth every penny.

Car pulls very well all the way to red line before it only pulled hard till about 5k


Well woth the investment.

What gas mileage you getting?

 

[FiLeZz]

What gas mileage you getting?

car reads 19.5 mpg almost all the time.

Not sure now that it went stage one I have not been in it enough to know.

 

[HybridSquirrel]

wow you paid retail? you should've checked the vendors on nasioc, you can get them brand new for 510 =[

 

[Jumpem]

What does this do to your warranty?

It seems so easy to buy a COBB stage 2 package for $2300 and be at ~384hp and ~414ft.lbs.
