Increase Peformance, Dcrease Weight on your SUBARU WRX STI CAR

Decreasing the weight of your car will improve all elements of performance. You will accelerate faster, turn easier, and stop better if your car weighs less.

If you’re going to the race track, you’ll want to shed as many pounds as possible before pulling on to the track.

Some simple things you can do to reduce the weight of your car:

Remove any subwoofers or other stereo gear

Remove your spare tire, jack, tools, hatch cover, and rear carpet

Remove all floor mats (this is good to do anyway for racing, to avoid getting the driver’s mat caught up in the pedals)

If you’re really obsessed with weight reduction, empty the windshield washer bottles (every little bit helps!)

If you’re drag racing, run your fuel down to a 1/4 tank. (If you’re road racing, fill up so you won’t starve the engine as the fuel sloshes around in the turns.)

If you've got time and it's practical, remove the passenger seat, and the rear seat.

Subaru's Car Intake System Design

Subaru's Car Intake System Design The following is an opinion on why different year model Subaru's react differently to modifications to their intake system . Primarily we're focusing on the late model Subarus which used either an air-flow system (up to 1999) or the speed-density system (2000+) in the North American market. Before we discuss the technical details of the Subaru Intake System, lets first get familiar with the two ways Subaru has used recently to measure air flow. The first method discussed is MAF Sensors which were used on all late models until the 2000 model year. From 2000-on Subaru has begun using a speed-density system which primarily relies on a MAP sensor. MAF Sensors Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor is used by the engine control unit (ECU) to determine the weight of the air going into the engine. To do this, Subaru uses a cylinder shaped sensor mounted securely to the stock air cleaner box behind the passenger side headlight assem

Exhaust For Subaru Impreza WRX STI 2003-2004 Car

The HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhausts are exclusive Special Edition HKS Hi-Power catback exhaust systems . Also referred to as the HKS Carbon Titanium Hi-Power catback exhaust, these exclusive versions of the HKS Hi-Power catback exhaust consist of a carbon-fiber wrapped muffler shell, titanium tip, and polished SUS304 stainless steel piping for a stylish and aggressive look. Each HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust looks as good as it performs. Inspired by GT racing in Japan, HKS developed its Carbon-Ti catback exhaust system with features found on racing exhaust systems. The HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust series incorporates a race inspired offset muffler and piping design, eliminating unnecessary bends for the straightest exhaust path. This less restrictive design allows the HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust to have greater exhaust flow and less back-flow pressure, enhancing higher-PRM power gains. The HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust system can be used for both turbocharged and naturally aspirated
