Question Cobb AP Stage 2.....

I have a 2004 WRX. It currently has a k&n panel air filter, silence delete elbow, catless UP, helix hiflo catted DP, 3" ss catback.....I'm planning to get a Cobb Accessport and using the stage 2 map.......how much of an improvement im I expected to feel??? How many of you have the same set up, or something similer, with a stage 2 flash??? Thanks in advance

The difference between stock and AP stage 2 is a HUGE improvement. Stock WRX, IMO, is very disappointing... this setup will make your driveability much better and when pushing the car, it will pull and will put a smile on your face!

I have the same set-up as you have, so let me know how the car feels after adding the Cobb AP.

It would be nice to see some dyno juxtapositions of before and after AP.

You should look into buying a Cobb AP from PDXTuning with their maps. If you already have an AP you can still buy the custom PDXTuning maps for your car and its mods.

I have a perrin up-pipe and turbo-xs turbo back exhaust. The difference is like night and day. Running 15 psi of boost as compared to around 6 is like a freakin rocket. Be careful though. I blew out my clutch the first week of the re-flash.
After the new clutch install, I've spun the tires on take-off!

By the way, running 93 octane is the only way to run stage 2 properly. It is kinda expensive right now, so running the economy map is worth it.
