FAVORITE MODIFICATION

"The GrimmSpeed Electronic boost controller mixed with the Perrin BPV. These two parts really make the CVT model of the WRX come alive. The EBC with the proper tune really is the secret to making this car perform the way it should, and the sound from the BPV really puts the cherry on the sundae. The responsiveness and performance, once installed and tuned, is night and day from factory."

FAVORITE MODIFICATION

1. Wheels & Tires. Enkei's are lightweight and just added Fidelity's to my driving experience. Paired with the Extremecontacts I couldn't be happier.
2. Protune - DBW Motorsports, Doug is a fantastic tuner. He asked about what parts was on the car, and where I wanted to be with power.
3. Coilovers - Stiff but not too stiff, increased performance, added Fidelity to the driving experience.
4. Exhaust - It's quiet at idle not obnoxiously loud, but when you put your foot down it wakes up. Paired with the equal length headers, I lost the rumble Subaru's are known for but it reminded me more of the iconic Subaru rally cars I love.
5. Kartboy - Shorter throws when shifting and feels solid, just absolutely happy when rowing through the gears.
