Would i get more power out of headers or stage 2 cobb AP?
Im debating, whether i should spend the money and buy headers or a Cobb AP stage 2 on my STI. If possible can i get some dyno graphs also. I have only 700 to spend, and i dont really have a job so i want to get the best performance out of that amount.

I would save up a little more and go with the COBB stage 2, which is like 1100. It comes with an AP and an exhaust.

AP will allow you to run both stages. Stage one does not require any mod except a A&N filter. Stage two will be good for 340 at the wheel.
Headers will give you turbo lag and create a bottle neck effect if you don't have a bigger exhaust.

If you like melted pistons with holes in them, go with the COBB AP
otherwise, find a good local tuner (www.EQtuning.com) to make a custom map for you that will provide safe, reliable power.

alright I will say it again...
you are in the bay area, get yourself a proper dyno tune with EcuTek.
since you don't have a job, you prolly can't afford to rebuild your motor after frying it with COBB's crap.
contact Ed @ www.EQtuning.com, or Mike at www.gruppe-s.com, and treat your STi to what it deserves...

Sounds pretty harsh, please provide proof if you are going to make broad-sweeping negative comments like this.
