I got out the fluke and here is what I found.

 

Karolyn/STI Values

#1 cord: 1.553 kΩ

#2 cord: 2.520 kΩ

#3 cord: 1.667 kΩ

#4 cord: 2.668 kΩ

 

Factory Resistance values Per Subaru Manual.

#1 cord: 7.1 — 12.1 kΩ

#2 cord: 12.1 — 19.9 kΩ

#3 cord: 7.7 — 13.0 kΩ

#4 cord: 12.3 — 20.2 kΩ

 

 

These wires are possibly inappropriate with approximately 1/4-1/5 th of the factory resistance. But possibly this could be good if the better wires will fit .

 

Now I want to measure the stock wires to be sure of what they really read.

I put them in and although not a perfect fit ( the protective silicone floating tubes are a little too long on the wires and bunch up in the raceway, suppose I could trim them ), I am other wise happy with them so far.

I went around the hood for a test drive in first gear. The car felt very solid revving .

Interestingly here are the stock Ω values as pulled from the car.

1 8.11 KΩ

2 13.84 KΩ

3 8.7 KΩ

4 12.58 KΩ

Why the higher resistance for 2 and 4?

They are the longest .

Imagine that!

 

What year sti?

STI in this case stands for Spark Transfer International.
