What's up fellaz?! I'm now in the club too! I went on a test run last night. The roads were a little damp last night, I giggled like a little school girl when all 4 broke loose.

hey sorry about the previous post, bro. i must've been on my pms or something.
so your buddy has just catback without AP, huh? it could be host of reasons. each sti has variance in horsepower, tires, driving skills, etc. if your buddy is a decent driver, he'll keep up with you, but it just ends there. the 1/4 mile gains i've heard from people on stage 2 OTS map are around 12.75 seconds, and the stock sti does that in 13.2 seconds. the difference is just a several fraction of seconds, so you won't notice a world of difference (i.e. you won't see 5 car lengths on him).

ya he doesnt have AP, 1st n 2nd gear there is a noticable difference but after that i slowly start to pull from him. i was just wondering if its a huge difference or a small difference. thanks....

I've been on Stage 2 since july of 06 and am loving it. bosal Divorced DP, perrin 3" cat pipe, and SPT cat back. Also have a Cobb sf intake on there and sitting at home waiting for a tune, DC sport header, perrins signature series FMIC with the MAF blow throw pipe.

where you'll notice the most difference is 4th gear and up, compared to stock.

As of last night I became the proud father of AP Stage 2...glad to join the club. Invidia V3 catted downpipe,Stock Midpipe,and Genome Axleback.
Word to the wise...while isntalling the DP my mechanic discovered an oil leak from the oil filter. I changed my oil the last time and out of irresponsability I did not use the crush washer for the filter... Thank God that we were able to discover it..God only knows how long I would've gone with an oil leak...scary
