3 Things Your Subaru can"t Live without

When you think of a tuner car or a rally car, more than likely the name Subaru pops into your head. Subaru has been a key company in the tuner evolution since the late 80′s. Subaru has continued to improve the handling, aerodynamics and horsepower of their staple WRX, since it was first released in 1992. All these improvements are to make your WRX the best on and off road. Whether you’re into off road rally, street or track racing, Subaru has a car for you. Along with improvements that Subaru has made over the years, have also come amazing aftermarket parts to take the, already rad factory car, to the next level. Here are three things we think your Subaru can’t live without.

The first is a Catback exhaust, the second is a cold air intake and the last is a ECU tuner. We sell many versions of catback exhausts but the Agency Power  Catback Exhaust System Titanium Quad Tips for the WRX is going to give you the sound you want. Below is a video of the growl that you’re WRX can gain with a catback.

The cold air intake improves the productivity of the air flow coming in and going out of your car. The colder the air, the more horsepower you’ll get from your car. Your turbo engine will thank you for the cold air intake. Once again we have many types of intakes but we thought we would showcase the Agency Power Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake. Not only will the performance give you optimum performance but the carbon fiber will give you a look that will set your car apart.

The last product that we think is imperative to having a bad ass WRX is the ECU tuning. The Cobb Tuning AccessPORT ECU tuner is the perfect final touch to your upgrade. Here are some of the features the AccessPORT offers:

• Improve horsepower, torque, and fuel economy at the touch of a button
• Display vehicle data such as boost, RPM, temperatures and more while you drive
• Easy installation, no mechanical or computer skills necessary
• Connects to your vehicle via the OBD-II port conveniently located under your dash
•  Exclusive ability to switch between different ;modes; on the fly
•  Pre-calibrated to maximize performance of stock or modified vehicles
•  Easy-to-read color display
•  Update over the Internet to stay up-to-date with the latest features
•  Read engine trouble codes (DTC) yourself, eliminating trips to the dealership
•  Not a “piggyback” – once vehicle;s computer has been programmed by the AccessPORT, it can be removed and the settings will stay on your computer.
•  Not just an “ECU reflash” – AccessPORT features enhancements such as on-the-fly mode switching, data monitors, reading DTCs, performance monitors and more
•  Can be custom tailored to your vehicle by our extensive network of professional tuners

Do your Subaru a favor and give it the aftermarket parts it deserves.
