2011 STI Mod ideas

[snwmbl]

Hi guys,

I have a stock standard 2011 STI and am wanting some advice on some minor mods.

At the moment I am thinking a drop in high flow panel filter (as I have read that the factory intakes are pretty good on these cars) and a tune (at Torque Performance). Or is Gary Capper the man to go to??

I would like to run 3 different maps off the SI Drive. see:

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Was going to suggest you look at Carl Ruitermans\' v11 but he\'s gone beyond minor

cool car to mod but dont think there are many here who have experience modding them at all except Dorifudo

Heres what hes done so far you may be able to learn something

Try Torqued Performance if you can be bothered logging your car\'s data Eric there is very helpful probably has more experience that anyone in NZ with late model STI\'s. Worth investigating, well i would if i were in your position, plenty threads on Rexnet.com.au about his results do a search there.

Panel filter won\'t do much without matching intake mods.

That MRT article is pretty much spot-on.

Stock the Stupid Drive and DCCD are a waste of time.

They are fundamentally wrong in saying there\'s not much new with MY11.

The chassis mods are a big deal !

The car is much stiffer than earlier v11\'s.

Ecutek could be the way to go...

Cheers guys - Appreciate the input.

I wouldn\'t mind a front pipe with high flow cat but I think the cost will outweigh the benefit.. Exhaust components for this model are very expensive - $2000 for a Borla cat back..

Im thinking a decent tune with 3 different boost levels is the way to go and will get in touch with Torque Performance to get their thoughts.

Go see torque performance or contact STM in wellington I know they have done several of these and they should be able steer you in the right direction
