anyone have just stage 1 on their wrx? I plan on picking up a v2 Cobb AP along with a cold air intake. any noticeable difference? im not looking for massive increase in horsepower, jus want better response and smoother flow of horsepower throughout rpms. thanks I-Club!

Big difference, as far as picking up horsepower? Yes. I also picked up a few extra psi. As far as the biggest difference you will feel your car is much more smoother and the fun part is gaining torque. So you'll have the more push to the back of your seat feel when you give it gas. Definitely worth it.
