2013 wrx

So I just purchased my new 2013 subaru wrx! My first subaru and I'm sure it won't be my last, but I have a few questions for you guys . What kind of shift **** should I purchase? The factory shifter isn't cutting it , it is has the sti short throw shifter ! Also what kind of blow off valves should I purchase ? Any help would be awesome .

Well, if you already have the short throw shifter I would say upgrade the bushings. I have the STI 5 speed duracon shift **** and I love the way it feels in my hand but it's a bit too light. I might buy a Flossy **** again for the weight.

And you shouldn't buy a blow off valve, our cars don't like them. If you want the turbo noise you should get an intake like the Cobb SF or AEM. And make sure you get a stage 1 tune if you put the intake on or your car will run like ****.

Agreed. I love stage 1, so much smoother. Especially with the Cobb Sf intake, it makes the woosh sound whenever you shift.

Nice.

Shift **** is really up to you.
But I like my lathewerks weighted ****.

Get a blow off valve and report your busted motor
