i'm thinking about going stage 2 myself if i can ever find a good downpipe/catback. Not sure if i should go with a cobb dp or divorced wastegate such as the invidia v3. i've read reviews but cant find any super technical details such as wastegate turbulance, should the cats be closer to the turbo or towards the end of the pipe, divorced wastegate tube length, etc... basically everyone is going to praise what they have on their car. I might just go with a cobb TBE since that's what the map was designed with and stop sobbing over a few lost HP figures... that and i'd rather have torque come on sooner.

looks good, although torque is down compared to what Cobb claims :(

You can't compare dyno to dyno so get over the apparent torque loss. That and you are running 92 octane on a 93 map whereas you should default to the regular 91 map.

yeah I hear you about the torque difference..I usually run 93 cause one of the only 93 pumps in my area is across the street from where I live....I had filled up the other day with 92 cause I was empty totally forgeting about the dyno day...just didnt have time to run the gas out and refill on 93...car seems to be running fine with 92 on the 93 program anyways.

my 06 wrx rips w/ torque now +72 over stock after full stage two.. dont think twice about getting cobbs tbe, it is a work of art, fully functional art!! dude you will not regret it.. it love to just cruise and listen to how the car sounds now, it's awesome and full stainess front to back, including the cast stainless bellmouth.. its mean!

Those are pretty impressive numbers. I wish I could do that with my Stage 2 WRX.
