Stage 2 Subaru STI Power Package By MAPerformance | 2018-2020 Subaru WRX STi

I want to thank MAPerformance for their awesome service and workmanship on the parts. The intake and downpipe transformed my STI from a good car to a great car. The downpipe was swapped in 3 hours and the intake in less than 30 minutes; everything fit easily without issues. The tune is excellent. I wish I purchased these parts a long time ago. Again, thank you MAPerformance for your service and over delivering on your promises.

I drove my STI for a year completely stock. After having enough of the stupid stock powerband I decided to go straight to an intake and downpipe setup, leaving the exhaust for a later date. I did the install over a weekend in my garage with hand-tools. I would recommend that anyone who is doing this solo purchase a new set of studs and nuts/bolts for the downpipe to the turbo connection. My 2019 came from the factory with the studs cross threaded and effectively impossible to remove without destroying the bolts. Not MAP's fault so no stars off for that.
Fired up my car for the first time with the intake, downpipe and MAP OTS 2 on my APv3 and everything sounds like it should have from the factory. I installed a turbo blanket, DEI Reflect-a-gold on the intake and thermal wrap on the downpipe to help manage heat in SWFL. That said even in 92F ambient the car pulls hard. That was to be expected, but what I did not expect was the improvement in driving manners. The STI now drives like it has a much larger motor with more torque down low and a solid pull right to fuel cut.
Full marks for the build-quality of this kit and for including vibrant hardware, grimmspeed gaskets and a grimmspeed stock exhaust adapter kit.

This stage 2 kit is nice on my 2019 Sti. Noticed a different power gain., there is some after fire between shifts. Only thing I would suggest is to update the instructions for the correct year.

This is by far the best stage 2 kit on the market in my opinion! The upgrade in performance was insane, plus the sound of the car is phenomenal!! I wish i would have done it as soon as i pulled off the dealership lot with 4 miles on it... It honestly takes the car from enjoyable to drive to a full on blast to drive!! You can take it as far as your driving ability can handle and you still have some power to go!

I did a full review on this product on my youtube channel where i did the comparison of this kit to the stage 1+ kit, that includes installation instructions in them! Super easy to do i did it in my driveway and garage with the basic tools, no power tools at all!

By far the best purchase i have made for any of my vehicles!!

Just finished installing the MAP DP and intake on my 2019 STI. Definitely a noticeable power difference - it sounds MEAN combined with a Corsa catback, but mild when I want it to. Intake is quieter than Cobb's, but sounds better... the Cobb intake had a high pitch "metallic" spooling noise at a certain throttle % that always bothered me. Not getting any knock besides the standard 1.4. Just want to give a big shout out to Tony and the rest of the guys at MAP - I was an annoying customer. The DP said it was in stock on the website, but was not and I was given an ETA that I wasn't too happy about. I was able to change my order funds to purchase the Corsa from them, hassle-free (came in like 2 or 3 days). After I installed the Corsa, I came back for the DP/intake and received it super quick. I love that you can just call the guys at MAP whenever and they are always happy to help - and it feels genuine.

Thanks guys!
