If you want better mileage on the WRX get an access port asap.
On my 04 STi with economy tune I got 24-27 in the city and 30-35 on the highway (actually 34.8 was the best average MPG I got on highway)
And then switch it over to a fun tune when you get to the backroads >:)
My 00 2.5 RS only...
06 si is 8th gen; same as '10 si.
If I were taking my child (assuming a toddler? but really this applies any kid under 9 or 10) on a road trip, I would have to have a smoother, quieter ride than a wrx, that's for sure! Personally though, I enjoyed the stiffer more responsive suspension of the...
idk I've had an 06 Si and my brother had a '10 WRX and I enjoyed the suspension in the WRX way more. And the clutch was way more comfortable. Also the seats were on par, maybe just a bit less comfortable (a 0.5/10 difference) than the Si, that had great seats. The Si (stock) had way worse...
For my BMW and Subaru the stock intake was just fine until 400hp. The intakes usually net very marginal gain, or in that case, a negative one haha.

It was a good idea though, and I even bought the CRV elbow (or whatever it was from) to run the x-intake, but I ended up going CAI.
A CAI, by the way, is a TERRIBLE idea to have in Florida during the spring/summer. It rains...
Oh, whew. I couldn't remember if everyone got their money back, but I know that some people did.
I'm glad it was resolved though, because that was one angry thread.
I always thought it was pretty funny that people can't wait to see dynos for exhausts and intakes.
they're all so close to the same; just buy the one that sounds the best to you.
Like this thing. It sounds great, especially for a civic.
This reminds me of TURBO-MAFIA (if any of you guys remember that from 8th way back)
Sold a few turbo kits; only shipped out nuts and brackets to everyone. Claimed it was a"shipping mistake" or something, and then no one ever heard from them again.
