Project Green Speed Update
Project Green Speed Update (January 2022)
We are proud of the progress that we’ve been making on Project Green Speed and the 57 new California Air Resource Board (CARB) Executive Orders (EO’s) that we received in 2021 bringing our total EO count to 77. We are fully committed to serving your needs by being the industry leader in delivering fun, responsible, and environmentally compliant hard parts, performance packages, and tuning solutions across all of our supported platforms. We have made a lot of progress and have plenty of exciting updates planned for 2022.
There are times when a market leader needs to make difficult decisions to proactively address market or regulatory uncertainty to fully protect its enthusiast customers and dealers while positioning itself for success in the future. With this in mind, we have made the decision to make some changes to certain Hard Parts and Power Package offerings, and their associated Calibrations (OTS maps). Specifically, we have decided to discontinue catted downpipes that offer coverage for vehicles newer than eight (8) model years old (newer than 2014), the associated Power Packages that those downpipes are included in, and their associated OTS Maps (Calibrations).
We have developed and are in the CARB EO approval process for a new NexGen upgrade path for impacted platforms. Please be on the lookout for that announcement in the very near future.
The following three paragraphs provide you with the details of the products that have decided to eliminate from our product catalog effective January 31, 2022.

NexGen Power Packages and Off The Shelf Maps
As mentioned above, we’ve been hard at work defining the NexGen upgrade progression within our platforms. Soon we will be releasing all new NexGen Power Packages and Calibrations (OTS Maps). These NexGen Power Packages will deliver outstanding performance and have CARB Executive Orders (making them 50 state legal) ensuring both exciting performance and peace of mind for our enthusiast customers. Stay tuned, the NexGen Power Packages are on their way!
Oooofffff.
Please don’t abandon us in California. I appreciate COBB trying to stay legal so those of us in this backwards state can still responsibly enjoy our cars.
Hi Mark,
We have no intention to ever stop selling in CA.
Kyle@COBB
So, basically I have to find another brand of downpipe and find a protuner (which none exist around me)….
Figures…just as soon as my car is out of warranty and I plan to install a downpipe….
You aren’t tied to a downpipe upgrade, though! Our NexGen packages will actually make more power on your 2018 STI than the previous Stage 2 package did. 😉
Marshall@COBB
Care to elaborate or share some details for the upcoming NexGen package for 2016+ STI’s?
We’ll have more details available soon!
Man, I hope you guys find a way to make exhaust systems (the whole system) for my up coming spending….. already had a list to go by guess now I have to revisit this list once you guys figure out how I can make no-power out my 2021 sti. Let me know if you all coming out with prototypes be glad to slap that on as a test. Kinda sad to see some great parts go though… I’m positive you all will figure it out though.
I have a cobb gesi downpipe for a wrx that I bought previously. Would it be possible to get the map for this item so my car is driveable? I was unaware of this change and now will be left stranded if I’m unable to acquire a map.
Hi JT,
You will need to consult a local Protuner or online eTuner to acquire a supporting map. We apologize for the inconvenience.
