Because Grimmspeed only ports the openings, while Crucial ports all the way through the bends; plus Grimmspeed mixes wrx and sti manifolds together, while Crucial strictly uses sti manifolds. I gotta system going here, lol.

Ur doing a cobb AP.... but it doesn't say pro tune on there?
which means ur just doing a reflash right?
if so
INjectors are out of the question b/c u'll need a tune
But if u are getting injectors I'd get the biggest one!...
it's not like u'll spend less fuel if anything it'll be better cause you'll be at a low duty cycle on them babies!
As for the Intake. 65 IS perfect for untuned, but if u get a 70(bigmaf) you'll need to tune and the Cobb AP does not have that map for you
YOu do need a reflash when u run catless cause you'll hit fuel cut in 4th gear really badly!

Oh trust me, I would never put mods on my car without a tune. Im actually not putting anything on until I can make a trip to get protuned. I have to be especially careful because I have an 07 !
