Spec Jay, our window for leaves changing color and falling is so small (2 weeks). I much prefer the slower and later transition in Seattle. |
Stage 2 is ONLY the downpipe and tune. Having a CBE is optional but not required. A lot of Suby guys will run a downpipe with the stock CBE to keep it quieter.
For the guy that mentioned having an intake, actually Cobb doesn't even recommend an intake with their tune. You'll find a lot of guys with modded Suby's are still using the stock intake because it's better than 99% of the aftermarket intakes out there. Those that do have aftermarket intakes typically have a custom tune.
Miss my old Suby and have considered getting the new STI. Actually the exact same spec one pictured here (rally blue STI sedan). I think for now I'm just going to stick with the Z and wait to see what comes out over the next year or so. The new C7 Vette and the new 2013 STI have my interest peaked; as does my curiosity to what Nissan will do with the next gen Z.
