STI will hurt ya back to DD it every day, Bumpy pavements = BADDD

Q50 is different, it is in the sweet spots of the two.
I spent $800 for a castles down pipe, axle back exhaust, and tune and made about a 75whp/90wtq jump... Just saying. That setup got me a timed 4.3 second 0-60 run...

Stock intake and Catback are good for nearly 400hp. As is the TMIC. An air filter, down pipe and tune is more than enough for stage 2. Exhaust will net a bit more power and give a different look but that's it.

Stock down pipe is what kills the car. The STI, even the WRX is a bargain considering what you get. They do everything you could want a car to do, and they're fun.

If you want luxury and still want an sti, get the limited and throw some extra sound deadening in it or something, shit. Lol
