Then later proper tires and a dedicated set of wheels so your not burning up tires.
People say get a tune, I say you can spend that money on better tires.

Anyways, get a tune. but I don't reccomend OFT.
OFT uses what an "off the shelf" tune. It's like a one size fits all, except in this case if the shoe doesn't fit it might cost you a motor.
Get a EcuTek and get a real tune, OR just get your ECU updated with the newest flash from your dealer. If your production is that early you should be eligible for a free reflash due to rough idle tsb.
Keep in mind, this is a SUBARU. not a TOYOTA no matter what your vin says or who mails you your bill every month. that being said, these cars can not be maintained or driven like your average Toyota beater. Take care of her and she'll take care of you. Let her warm up before you dog the hell out of her, check the oil once a week and dont let your oil changes go past 4k miles and enjoy the car lmao

Oil does not need to be changed every 4k miles. It may be a Subaru but it aint a turbo one.
And if OFT was costing people motors Im pretty sure there would be plenty of threads on it by now. Just like the absurd amount if posts about the car being "cursed". Many companies use OTS canned tunes without blowing motors, like Openflash/Vishnu or Cobb with the AcessPort. They tend to make the tune safer so it just has less power then a custom tune.
Going the TSB route for an updated tune is an option should his car show those symptoms. Im a 4/2012 build and never had those problems.
OP you could ask them to disable to DRL which there is a TSB that calls for ECU replacement since it then screws up your highbeams. Itll cost you the labor for them switching the DRL off which should be .5-1 hr depending on the dealer.
