Hey guys,
I recently went to Cobb stage 1 on my 2012 STI. Which is the AccessPort flash, intake and airbox. By the way, I LOVE IT! I love the sound that the new intake makes. I used to always watch videos of STI's that I thought had blow off values. Then I started reading about how blow off values are bad for this type of engine with the MAF sensor. So I wasn't sure how people were getting that nice sound without knowingly causing some hard to their engine. Well, I finally figured out that it's probably their intake!
Getting back to my modifications. I'm thinking about going to stage 2 in the near future and I was wondering after I do that. What else would you guys recommend for upgrades? My friend has a 2015 STI and he recommended getting a new pitch stop brace.
I'm not sure I need one of those yet? Perrin says it's only started being an issue in the 2015+ models?

Under normal driving conditions, the drivetrain is constantly moving back and forth. This movement is absorbed by the OEM pitch stop brackets and have not caused any problems until 2015+ year models were released.
