Default Cobb AccessPort for WRX

Between the offered economy mode setting, security and Stage 1+2 HP gains this looks like a good bargain for the money at $525-600....... I've read mostly good things on the large Suby board about this..... anyone here have any first hand experience on this product?

I had it for a week, it was awsome for that week. You can't lose anyways, buy it for 525 shipped sell it for 525 shipped... lose 10 bucks on shipping to find out if thats what you really want.

I've only heard good things about it, the only thing is that with the accesport is plug and play and no further tuning can be done. Every car is different so you might have more power than what's showing with their preset maps, and you can't do anything about it. The street tuner from cobb is more versatile, but more $$$. For the money is the best thing you can buy brand new, or you can try to find a used Utec or anything else.

With just exhaust and stage 2 AccessPORT, their WRX ran a 13.1...that's faster than most STis! Imagine what an STi with exhaust and an AccessPORT could do....

The Cobb Stage 2 is my next purchase, did you install it yourself. It doesn't look like it would be difficult if you have some mechanical skills.
