yah, insurance is a good point indeed. i should check on the comparison as well. yep, with a quick reflash and a little exhaust upgrade chances are you'll be going FASTER than a stock STI.

Yep. You've still got the (relatively) fragile 5 speed transmission though.

I love adding power to stock turbo cars. The AP gains are outta control.

I think they updated the WRX trans in like 05 and 09 or something. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be, which is probably good given all the extra power from the factory. It's just not on the level of the 6 speed in the STI, which for street purposes is pretty much bulletproof.

I think for a car you're driving primarily on the streets, going Cobb Stage 2 + exhaust makes a lot of sense. Stage one alone nets you ~30whp and 45wtq, which is more than enough for more.
