    Looking for a good exhaust setup, maybe a catless down pipe? Cobb access port, intake. What ever else you think I may need to get a little more power out of my 02 wrx. It is stock at the moment

    Thanks!
    Tyler

    Hey Tyler!

    1)turbo back exhaust
    2)electronic boost control selenoid (EBCS)
    3)take to local tuner for street or dyno tune.
    4)access port (optional)

    Please do not run these parts without tuning immediately! That is pretty much all that you NEED for stage 2 in your car! GL and enjoy the new power band!

    No problem! The access port is a nice addition, but you can save the $400 or so dollars for other mods. Short ram(SRI) and cold air intakes(CAI) are the same type of thing. Save the money and skip those mods.

    Honestly, if you want to really get a nice increase in your power, buy larger fuel injectors (700-800 cc) and a Walboro 255L fuel pump(or something comparable)instead of the access port and have that installed and tuned at the same time. Your butt dyno will thank you!

    Buy used and you could get all of that for around $1,000.

    $300-400 for exhaust(used)
    $80 fuel pump(new)
    $250 for modified stock injectors
    $100 EBCS(new)
    $150-300 for street/dyno tune.

    Gain is about 50-60hp. You'll definitely notice the difference.

    Forgot to include
    - Supra Denso 295LPH ! better and more reliable than the walbro 255
    - custom stock looking 3" exhaust

    Basically all you would need is a downpipe and a tune.
