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. |

the 2012 base impreza...yeah that's totally different now lol about intakes - i saw on the cobb AP they have maps for the AEM intake, and their own intake, but i agree, after further research it seems intake is a massive waste. not that i was going to do anything to this car beyond stage 1 anyway... |

day 17 of ownership: fully broken in, finally got the taps fully open...i came in to work with a humongous grin on my face
side note: i need some better pedals, i think. my foot slips off the clutch way too easily; there's just no grip on this thing. i'd be reversing into a parking spot, and a few adjustments later, my foot will be hovering on the clutch because my foot moved around. is it like that on the STi? |

I agree about the pedals...they get slippery. Hard to heel-toe when shoes are wet because it feels like my foot is slipping. I find that the pedals and steering wheel are light... could do with a bit more pressure to operate.

I ended up getting the gun metallic and yea the Cayman was just too small. It was not a good DD for what I need right now. I just have the cobb accesport tune.
