Y'know what, maybe nix the supercharger, this car is great maxed out normally aspirated. In fact, its great as is, unless there is track time in the future.
How are you liking the headers? I feel like the stage 2 brings the car to the point where it feels fast enough for what it is.

Love them. Significantly louder but not unreasonably (I think).

Added in an overpipe to get a more reliable fit without leaks.

Seems a bit more power too but not too much.

Thanks for the deal!

Glad you like them!

How do you feel about the power compared to your wrx? Ive always wanted to know how someone with stg 2 directly compares it with a wrx!

WRX is still noticeably more powerful, but there is a bit of lag before full the torque kicks in. The 2015 has a twin scroll so the lag is short, but it is still there.

Just at lunch I was noticing the difference, WRX sucks me back in the seat. With the FR-S I really wouldn't want more power on stock tires anyway. Just end up with tons of wheel spin and bald rears.

The FR-S is just right now IMHO. Not really sure if Stg 2 adds so much more power, just a bit more torque down below and a little more oomph higher up IMHO. I don't know if it will have a quicker 0-60 time though.

I really do not know what you all are talking about.

Time to put on summers here, now almost consistently above 7. Just need to find the time.

I would really love to switch over to the summers, In Guelph/Fergus its almost warm enough but my frequent trips to the bruce peninsula on weekends has me feeling like I may still encounter some snow storms so better wait it out a couple more weeks atleast

Temperatures here are starting to hit the point of switching summer tires and turning my winters into squishy piles of mush, but there's still way too much ice on the ground in Halifax. My current plan is to switch the summers on during Easter weekend.

That is my target change overtime as well. Would love to do tomorrow but just don't trust the weather enough.

Why store it at all... It's not a $100,000 Plus vehicle.

Should be driven all year long to be enjoyed...
