as for an rsx type s being faster, yes of course it would.

considering you didn't have any mods that actually gave you horsepower.

if you want to up your horsepower and do it relativly inexpensivly, the best way is an uppipe, downpipe and ecutek reflash.

(rsx has exhause intake headers vtec controler) and so we all decide to race now we go from a rolling start and i know already im at a huge disadvantage so i go any way. then a get raped by all 3 of them i was like holly sh*t. man tell me some mods i could use to get me so hp boost. small lil ones that add on a lil hp. i just bought the helix up and down pipe so i can get some more stuff just nuthing too xpensive. i wanna get these guys back. im imbarased to call meyself a subaru owner after losing to a rsx. thanks in advanced
you have 227hp with lag and 3000+ pounds of car. an rsx type s has 200hp, no lag, and about 2800 pounds of car. when my car was stock, i used to get spanked by a co-workers 97 prelude sh. little mods that you could do yourself would be up and down pipes, some sort of engine management like a reflash or accessport.

also, street racing is bad.

How fast of a roll? Also tell them to go from a stop and see who wins. The wrx sucks from a roll. Also ask them who wins in the rain or snow? wrx= not a drag car. To answer your question. Uppipe and downpipe will help.

You could consider getting rid of the CAI and swapping the stock intake box back in. Uppipe, downpipe, and engine management are also your friends.

Agreed . . . get rid of that dam CAI ! it doesnt do **** for our car! just put the stock one back in and once you put in the up/downpipe combo with a ecu reflash go line it up with your friends again! the outcome should be VERY different !
