Bad324 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 depends what you want to do, personally I'd go with a turboback exhaust to free up some ponies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Assuming you mean WRX STI...?I have a Legagy GT Turbo, same drivetrain as the WRX. Winter tires ROCK. I have Once the average temp hits 40 deg the winter tires go on. The factory all-seasons are useless in the snow.Bear in mind that snow tires and winter tires are different things. Winter tires have rubber compounds that stay flexible in the cold. Mine are siped like a sum-bish too. Snow tires tend to be more about traction in the snow itself, like studded or really aggressive tread blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 catless up/down pipe, exhaust, tune.Everything I've read, stay away from CAI as they seem to really eff with the MAF.My buddy's 04 WRX wagon is pretty damn quick with these mods and slightly upped boost.

ZIXXER9R Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 downpipe uppipeturbobackboost controllercobb apbrakestiresand most important "TUNE IT" a tune alone on a stock car will see 20 hp increase bettter tq curve and fuel economy. that is if you keep it out of boost 70% of the time which isnt hard if you have self control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Been running Dunlop Wintersport M3s on the GTO now for three winters. They're fantastic in deep snow and still retain sporting character and highway manners when it's not snowing. Only downside to these tires I can think of is they will increase braking distances substantially above 120 mph. Well...I guess that's not really a downside.

shittygsxr Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I don't think there is quite enough snow in Columbus for trax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
