#1 Mod for WRX

Whether you have an older WRX or you have a newer model, the number one mod we would recommend is the Cobb Accessport.
By installing this device with your OBD2 port you’re going to be able to flash a new tune on your car giving you an increase in horsepower and improving the overall performance of your car.
So if you don’t already have an Accessport, we would highly recommend this mod.

[@jjbondi1224]

if you want severe anxiety, get accessport lmao

[@sam.fridayyy]

I’m new to wrxs what does that mean lmao

[@pasigiri]

Lol! DAM yo.

[@thatoneguy9842]

@@sam.fridayyy the accessport shows everything you need to be worried about. The one that makes me worry the most is knock which definitely makes me ease up a bit if I see even the tiniest amount of an increase.

When you wanna start the timer for it to go boom

[@trxsrolo4000]

access port also allows you to check engine codes and flash them much like a scan tool used in most mechanic shops. along w being able to flash a new tune to the vehicle via the ap you can monitor many variables like your learn and feedback knock, coolant temps, AFR, DAM, boost, intake temps and so much more.

[@tomwinner5350]

Warranty? Who needs a warranty?

[@californinja1714]

Not to mention voiding your warranties.

[@cjswhitebo1882]

Do you buy a car for the warranties or to drive the thing?

[@curtfox91]

Lol right 😂 Funny seeing dudes pull up to the Service port w the Cobbs still in the car.

[@toxicgamer2835]

I know where your coming from man but the type of person who would use this is probably planning to change parts in and on the car so there will be no warranty to speak of for a long shot, it’s why we get insurance and/or “know a guy” when we got serious issues that we can’t fix in our driveways, that is oc a starter mod and down the road of changing engine parts especially in a Subaru you’d be getting the car dinoed and tuned professionally rather than a one size fits all from a online tuner. If you got any questions about after market parts I and or google can help ya

[@shakeswigglez3746]

You can revert it to factory settings with it as well. I do this every time I have to take it to the dealer.

[@SimplyTrashed]

@@shakeswigglez3746The dealer can see that everytime you flash it my guy, you’re doing that purely for yourself. 😭

[@huhinteresting]

For real? I was gon say an AOS or Catch Can but not an AP!

[@TheFornesto]

AOS, a new air intake, brakes, suspension, is stuff that I would focus on preferably, then a cobb access port with a pro tune.

[@thedon9670]

Lol AOS is the biggest waste of money there is. You guys living on unfoundered fear. But you do you bro.

[@huhinteresting]

@@thedon9670 👍🏽

[@pasigiri]

AP. Anxiety Producer, I mean Accessport. TBH, while the AP is a good first mod, I'd have to say an upgraded intercooler might just tie the AP as a first mod. Especially with the FA engine. Tie or really close second.

[@Redfeather80]

Don’t you need a AP if you put in a upgraded intercooler

[@Gabriel-vj1cf]

​@@Redfeather80no

[@Beatcheeks89]

Just got a low mile fa20 idc about gaining hp just want some cool noises. Do I have to get an ap for an intake and catback ? I want factory reliability with a little extra without throwing my warranty out the window

[@brother_maleik]

​@@Beatcheeks89yes u need a tune for anything other than a catback. U can get a tune without a AP but it'll be pricey. Just get one, or wait till the warranty

[@stevelynn7302]

Best mod so far ..

[@Scooploop1]

I’m ok with no anxiety port but thank you

[@Kopernicus67]

Number one mod for performance, maybe. I'd say the number one mod (and I have AP, exhaust, short-shift, etc.) is the PITCH STOP. Cheap and does not void warranty, and doubles the enjoyment of the manual tuned or not. The STi version does not void the warranty for certain, as Subaru sells it as a mod.

[@-slurmdaddy-8147]

Group n pitch stop was one of first things I installed on my 15 some years ago. It made nice difference banging through the gears, the motor wouldn’t bounce as significantly. I found out the hard way to get that intercooler gasket flush lol, car putted out mid rip on a test drive. I pulled over and already knowing it was likely that gasket and it was. Definitely well worth mod. Short throw linkage cable and short throw shifter is another good one to start

[@bradynauto]

iag aos is a must

[@aarondejonge7411]

100% agree

[@jacobhanneken6988]

Can you use an accessport for a remote tune from a tuner? I have a 2011 wrx all stock besides the exhaust and have always been looking for a handheld that can do remote tunes so I can mod it further.

[@KSWKREW]

Yes, you can get an e tune. Just know you’ll need many revisions with your tuner online to get your car running optimally.

[@Benjji2x]

it only adds 10 hp with a normal tune on 91 gas on the vb for 800 dollars that’s horrible

[@SeemzLegit454]

True. I get 30 to 40+hp with stage 2 on 96 gas. 60 to 80+hp on e86

[@kloc4995]

no tuner in history increases horsepower more than 10-20hp without supporting mods. accessport is the starting point. gotta pay to play bub. if $800 makes you flinch then you have the wrong hobby. ive dumped $20k into my subie and i still shop for parts every day without a thought.

[@saphira_wrx7035]

Highly suggest the DarkmatterX DM-2 short shifter. It blows all other short shifters out of the water, 50% shorter shifts than oem. Is hight adjustable. Makes your wrx feel completely different making your transmission feel more like an STI. Shifts feel smooth and snap into each gear, and no more wiggles. The DM-2 fits in VA-VB chassis.

[@WrxyDriven82]

[@SeemzLegit454]

Don't want my WRX to feel like and STI. STI is shit to a WRX.

[@TheRyanmanVideos]

I wouldn’t recommend it anymore unless you don’t plan on pushing more than stage 2. Great for dailies though and definitely always better than factory tune.

Real talk. If you are considering an accessport/ new ecu, get it properly tuned by a professional. Otherwise get something that actually matters like oil management upgrades. Get a better oil pickup and baffling.

#1 mod is gonna be a new engine when the first one inevitably blows after the break in period.

[@LilDroop802]

Incorrect lol. First mod you should do, is a catback exhaust, don’t need to worry about more power the first thing you do. Get an intake, j-pipe, catback, and a BPV, get a pro-tune and enjoy how the car feels and sounds at that point. No need for an access port. Keep up on maintenance and don’t beat the piss out of the car and it’ll give you joy for years

[@santoscarrillo2996]

Why does that void the warranty? What does it actually do. New subie owner 2021 wrx base stock 30k miles looking at AIG Aos and invidia R400 blacked tipped exhaust

[@KSWKREW]

The reason is that since you are changing the original conservative tune that comes from the manufacturer, they do not want to be held liable for any damages that may occur to your engine due to the extra stress.

[@doesntmatter2505]

And you won’t have a warranty anymore

[@SubisUniverse]

And just like that you loss me

[@brayanquesada3528]

Wrong, AOS should be your first mod

Ill pass that price is too high for me

I don't recommend cobb

[@user-jv3iz5he3k]

No the most beneficial model you can do the WRX is probably a AOS

[@deivisgutierrez5753]

First class ticket to blown motor town (Newer subies are highly sensitive to pre det so ur tune has to be as solid as the glass protecting the president)

Terrible advice but an access port if you want a blown engine

[@BlackholeU_U]

Don’t hate me for this but I only like older Wrx or Sti under 2018 New wrx look kinda like 🤐

What map is best for me? I have fmic, big sd intake, aos, and a Catback 2020 STI

[@AgreedJ0k3r13]

I’ve got a 2015 wrx. I did a lot of research on the first thing to throw in the car and I did catch cans, aos is also good

[@Jsmoove917]

If you run an OtS map don’t beat on the car and get an actual pro tune. Highly recommend shinji tuned if you want to just do an e-tune.

[@cjswhitebo1882]

A pro tune is the best map for you and you shouldnt even have the intake on it without a map

[@Basedgodnick69]

How would you ask your dealership if they are ok with the stage 1 tune? I’ve emailed my guy a couple times (not just by itself always with something else) and it’s been ignored. I’m not sure if intentional or being ignored.

[@Motoagogo13]

I was running a OtS stage 1.5 mod on the AP and threw a rod. Subaru did not cover the engine under warranty and the new engine was on me. The second you flash your ECU you have lost your warranty and SoA will fight you in court if you have a 2018+ model.

[@snoopyalien24]

I've recently asked and they said FBO mods are fine. So, intakes, pulleys, exhausts, ICs, etc. As soon as anything touches the ECU, you're on your own, pal 😅

[@Caellux]

I just got a 2018 wrx myself, luckily it only has an intake an exhaust on it . I want to keep it for as long as possible and reliable so I don't want to do much, i was thinking of an air oil separater though to help with some of the engine's weaknesses

[@huhinteresting]

@@CaelluxIC = intercooler. Intake requires a tune. Don’t believe anything or anyone that says it doesn’t.

[@Caellux]

@huhinteresting yeah I was thinking because this wrx already has an intake and exhaust it may be worth grabbing an accessport just to help monitor more vitals, and just a light tune to make it reliable. It's going to be my daily for a while , luckily I work from home most of the week but still. A new TMIC would be nice though because a few of the fins on mine are a little messed up and I didn't want to chance it manually straightening them out
