Just put a firestorm on my 03 wrx. The sound is excellent and have noticed a definate increase in response and pull.
Do it, you know it makes sense.

i saw a post a while back with an sti8 ppp and firestorm and that got probs with a drop in top end and a loss of mid range torque i was wondering if this was a one off or its a prob on the sti,s, i would like a bit more of the scooby sound without messing around with remaps etc

Rav.. if you are just changing the back box. There is no need for the remap.

I have not seen the post where the car allegedly lost top end and power. This physically cannot happen from the fitment of this back box.

All Firestorms are made in the same factory .. by the same people as the Prodrive units... with less back pressure and less restriction.

Hope this helps

Kind regards

Question

For those of us petrified of nullifying their warranty, can I fit the firestorm box to my 03STi without making the warranty void? Is it a straight swap for the factory box or do mods need to be made to back bumper and/or mounting hangers?
