January 15, 20179 yr Cheers, I got them from a guy on scoobynet, but I think he sells them on eBay now aswell? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 5, 20178 yr Stock '14 sti. Standard dirt. Still thinking of a cold air intake, but can't pin down any gains other than cosmetic/auditory, and trust me I need nothing to remind me she's a Scooby. (she's a muffler delete 😲)

Not sure I'll be doing as good a job as this though! Looks really neat. I have the same IC and that look awesome, is it just gold heat tape?

February 20, 20178 yr Needs a bit more elbow grease to match some of the delights on show here but it's a work in progress all be it slowly.

(she's a muffler delete 😲) Not much from gains on CAI alone tbh. The standard air box is quite big and once you install a CAI, the dump valve noise is a LOT more noticeable. Changed mine just before xmas with a mishimoto CAI. You can get a permance air intake but don't go for that one. Pay the extra £50-£80 for the CAI.
February 21, 20178 yr Thanks for the info JohnM. ☺ Not sure I'll hear anything else over my burble, it can be pretty intense. Am I correct in thinking I can do a CAI without mapping? Everything else is stock apart from the axle back.

February 21, 20178 yr Whats the best way to start cleaning the engine bay? I hope it's not fairy liquid and a toothbrush...or a karcher on full blast?

You don't "really" need a map if you add a cat-back exhaust with CAI. If you change the down pipe or and/or headers you will need a map.

After that metal polish and toothbrush to get your alloy looking a bit better and silicone cleaner for the hoses etc. There is a thread on here somewhere with the results of a few hours spent on a bay, looks properly detailed, it did involve various sized brushes though - just cant remember who it was, possibly Salsa?? PS keep the jet wash away from your intercooler - you could take that off and clean separately

Everything else is stock apart from the axle back. It's highly advised to get a map after changing the intake on the 2.5 sti engines , not an issue with a cat back tho Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk
