Whats wrong with a current model WRX with a few simple bolt on's to bring the power up?
>>
Nothing, the FA20 WRX is a good car.

/o/ is going to tell you that you'll look like a boyracer in a riced Corolla, but /o/ shitposts nomatter what vehicle you drive.
>>
Driving one feels like your a captain of a cruise liner. It just feels so big compared to its competitors.

vapefags and uneven headers.
It's a 4banger and it always will be
>>
>>15416836
Yeah but you can get a few simple mods to fix the uneven headers.
>>
>>15416848

subabu fans think this is a feature.

No hatchback

And bigger means, more practicality, less naggin from wife.

how much more power does equal length give?
>>
>>15416945
Thank god. Doesn't need any more shit.
>>
>>15416950

I don't think you understand the point of exhausts.

FA20DIT has even length headers from the factory...

They don't sell the wagon version here, and it's CVT only.

Typical poobaru fag who doesn't know shit about cars.
>>
>>15416969
Then why does it still sound like shit


>>15416972
You may get 1-5 hp from better flow.
might as well ebay turbo
>>
>>15416988
do they come with a twin scroll yet? have not played with the newer ones.
>>
>>15417003
Fuck i dunno i'm a Yota faggot but there is literally no reason to spend money on an exhaust tune.
>>
>>15416988
It's still a stock exhaust, and few stock exhausts ever actually sound good. It doesn't sound bad to me.

Both have equal length headers, one with a Nameless axleback and one 100% stock.

>>15416977
Nice meme, neither of my soobs understeer. That's only a problem with cars with open rears, and no turbo subaru has an open rear.
>>
>>15417029
>and few stock exhausts ever actually sound good.
Stock exhausts on subabus sound like stock exhausts. "Enthusiasts" however will do some "tune" and it starts to sound like a V6. This triggers me, i dunno why, like that Nameless axleback. It sounds like shit and it's even worse because i know it's a 4-banger.

This is why the WRX sucks. It needs bolt ons to even make power above Camry range. Can you really even call it a sports car?
>>
>>15416715
I have a '15 WRX stage 2 and my engine blew up under 15,000 miles. Fuck this car

>>15417191
Because there's more to performance than benchracing.

So you did something wrong yet you blame the car?

FA20 is equal length headers.
>>
>>15416833
"Competitors" is plural. So, the Focus ST and the new Civic Type R?
>>
>>15417501
Where exactly did I go wrong? This is a poorly made motor.

I literally don't believe you.

I bet you used an OTS map from CornCobb tuning or accidently poured vape juice in your gas reservoir.

I was actually thinking of purchasing one of these next year. I'd love to hear some unbiased reviews that don't consist of shitposting, 'muh understeer', and 'muh unequal headers'.

Many thanks.

These seems to be the trend on my local craigslist. Every single wrx/sti has one of those plugged in and cranked to 11, then blown up in a week. Whats up with people and these shit tuners?
>>
>>15418996
That's a legitimate criticism you fucking faggot.
>>
>>15419040
Just feed me all the pros you fuckhead.

>>15419054
AWD
Decent power
Practical (it's an econobox with a turbo after all)
Free brojobs at the local smoke shop
>>
>>15419071
Does owning one teach me how to vape? I tried once before but it hurt my lungs. I really want to get into vaping so I hope owning a WRX would help.
>>
Friend bought one and it keeps leaking coolant.
The car doesnt even have 3k miles on it and he has to keep taking in for service.

Im not knocking the car, i think Subbies are neat, but yeah that issue isnt very appealing to deal with.
Dont know if its just his car though since he babies it.

Do your """tasteful""" mods properly and you're set. Just remember that it will die if you beat on it without putting any effort into maintenance, and that the tranny isn't as strong as the STi.
>>
>>15417432

I have a '17 and really enjoy it for commuting. It does feel a little large but it's lighter than most sedans today that I can think of. It has great visibility and pretty decent mpg for awd. Pretty decent price per go-fast. Plus, like >>15416932 said, the wife thinks it's practical.

I do wish there were a hatch though. When my lease runs out, I hope there's a hatch available on the next gen and I might actually buy one.
>>
>>15416715
I can't stand the new designs. it looks so boring and generic
>>
>>15416715
EL headers. Sounds like a vacuum cleaner/your run of the mill 200hp+ 4-banger.
>>
>>15416988
Because you only get the typical boxer burble with UELs.
>>
On paper a mazdaspeed6 seem better.A shame that mazdas are pigfat and that cobalt ss turbo are relatively rare compared to msp3.
