just installed cobb ap stg 1

it feels so much smoother when i first drove it, ferdie instructed me with the install the guy from soutcoast subaru. he was very helpful and man a lot of the show cars at the dealership were fixed up, specially the acura dealership next to them. Im very happy with the ap and loading maps seem to be very easy. i feel like the car is stronger in the higher rpm's i dont know but how much but it is, and also a lot smoother

I'm interested in AP too...

but is the stage 2 OK for VF34 and headers etc. ?

I've seen maps for VF34 and pinks + TBE + stock IC on Cobb website but with stock intake. I've got APS CAI. If I have well understood, it is possible to recalibrate the ECU with Street Tuner if I have an aftermarket intake.

Anyone here have Street Tuner ? Is it easy to use ? any drawback ?

thanks for the inputs !

You can have a Cobb AP protuned to any shop that has Protune. Street Tuner is cool, but only if you know what you're doing. I personally would not mess around with it, unless I have some sort of training or experience.

I don't think it is really difficult...

there is an instruction manual on the website, no ?
