New Member AP Question

***wavery56*** · 06-03-2008, 07:40 PM

Hi to all and thanks,
I have an 04 STI with the SPT intake and exhaust mods/upgrades installed by my Subaru dealer. I have a Cobb AP ordered. Since my exhaust is Catback and not Turboback should I still use a stage 1 map or should I run a stage 2 map? Thanks.

Stage 1 and only Stage 1. You dont upgrade to Stage 2 until you have a down pipe.

I have an 07' sti, my car still stock all the way. Is there anyway i could set up mine with AP and downpipe only since i don't want a really loud exhaust set up but looking for some great gain in tq/hp. And also i don't have access with a protuner since i am stationed rightnow in Germany. need advise

Is a protuner is a must?????

DP and the AP is fine with the the stock cat back. Just flash to stage 2 and you will still get a good boost of power. You are only leaving about 5hp on the table by keeping the stock cat back.

I would plan on a protun when you return though. Just a good idea with the 07s.

I am in the same situation as you, intake and cat back, but I did not flash it to yet with my AP. I did not know if my mods on stage 1 ots map would be bad, so I am just waiting on my DP, then flash it to stage 2.
