what mod. to do next?

I just bought a 2006 WRX TR and have already put on the Cat Back SPT Exhaust. What a difference ;-)
I have on order the Intake Elbow and a drop in K & N Filter. What would be the next best modification for the $$? Looking for most power vs. cost. I also was going to put on a up Bolsa Up Pipe but found out the all the 2006 WRX's already come with a cleared out Up Pipe ;-)

Thank you in advance.

I have a cobb accessport and I'm happy with it. I also have a full catback and I'm looking to get a dp too and I hear that helix is pretty popular. It's well priced and you can get one catted or without. You might want to browse through the reviews section on this site.

I got a cobb ap and an ividia catless downpipe.

The EM is expensive i paid 595 and i htought that was a good deal

the dp catless should be round 250 with a cat more

thanks...I will check it out. What setting on the Cobb would I use being in California and having a Catback Exhaust? I noticed they have only CA91 Stock and CA91 Turbo back, but no Catback settings.

You're right, there is no just catback setting. You will have to run either stage 1 or Cali stage 1. Just running stage 1 will still give you considerable gains in torque and hp. To run stage 2 you will have to buy a dp to couple with your catback.

So just getting a DownPipe will make me Turbo back :-)
what kind of gain would I expect from a down pipe? I think the Cobb will have to wait a month or 2

on 06s the numbers don't change as much as with previous models, but the torque curve is sexy as hell
