You can say whatever you want. I've beaten a stage 2 cobb tuned wrx on the freeway on e85 and I just stayed straight up, light to light with a new wrx on cali 91 with just a stage 2 tune and a catless header.

Say they're shitty drivers, fine, but they aren't walking a twin all that readily is all I'm saying.

Your WRX is not stock and you're an awesome driver, so it's hard to use you as a comparison.

@CSGMike is completely accurate. My wife has an 18 WRX with a Cobb Stage 1 Tune, and I have an 18 tS with Full Exhaust, Intake, and Custom Tune. The WRX is quicker, hands down. It pulls harder and the powerband is much thicker. A Cobb Stage 2 WRX running a J Pipe and Intake would even make a larger difference. With that said, when she’s driving it, it’s probably not faster

But to be fair, my tS is DEFINITELTY quicker than my Crosstrek Stage 0.

While this thread has put the fear of god into me with my upcoming JRSC C30 install, I’m acquiring all the supporting mods to try and run it as safe as possible and then cross my fingers and hope for the best!

Sorry some of you all have had some terrible experiences, but thanks for sharing so the community continues to learn and grow!
