Project Roots - The Modding Begins!

The Vivid Racing Project STI begins the full Agency Power transformation with some basic modifications.

First thing we did is added the Agency Power catback exhaust. The titanium muffler and 3inch stainless piping will help open up the air flow and increase the horsepower by 12 at the wheels. To assist in performance, we tuned the vehicle with the ECUTEK reflash to increase boost, adjust fuel, and change timing.

While the exhaust was off, we also started on the suspension by adding the Agency Power rear adjustable sway bar and sway bar links to improve the cars over steer. The AWD car by nature likes to push and we want a more rear wheel drive feel for the car!

Finally for some touches under the hood, we added the Agency Power oil cap to continue the whole blue and polished theme that we will be going for.

Stay tuned for the after dyno run and sound clip!

This looks alot like my project. It should be interesting to see what kind of difference the headers make.

Car should make quite a bit more power. For just a cat back this thing makes killer power.
