Bhawk Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 How much do the muffler tips cost? I am guessing you want the same look as the legacy? What do you have to do get some new tips or two new mufflers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I am putting on the Autospeed exhaust (see post above) The legacy GT has basically the same muffler as the outback with different tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTMark Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Updates? I'm watching with great interest since the bumper on my 07 XT got hit. If I can fit the JDM bumper I'd like to go that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Not yet, Graham was having problems getting into the legacy website so I just ordered it today instead of on the 12th. It should fit just fine. If you are interested in a stock bumper when I get my new one on let me know. Mine is a 2005 but I am not sure if they are different.

Scooby2.5 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 OK everyone, the bumper came today. Just unboxed it tonight. The color looks to be correct and it DOES NOT have the black on the bottom half like the newer outbacks. YEA its ALL Granite Gray. The trunk area top is Gray also, not black like our outbacks. Ill post some pics of it off the car in the next couple of days and then some when I get it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanger Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 so i guess the USDM Outback bumper doesn't have the exhaust cutoffs? if that's the case, THAT BUMPER IS FREAKING SWEET!!! ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 yes the usdm outbacks do not have the cutouts. everywhere else in the world it does. you can see a picture if you go to the subaru austraila website. Plan on putting it on with the autospeed exhaust tomorrow and this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawfish Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I wish I had the cash to buy one. Very nice looking bumper. I plan on getting a wrecked GT bumper and doing mod myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 it really wasn't that bad. It cost me somewhere around 600 or so with the LGT forum discount. Then the shipping from Japan was around 250.I figure you can get a bunper for 200-300 and by the time you get it painted for another 200-300 your into it for what I paid for one already painted from Subaru.The shipping is the main issue.

WHAT! You spent $850 on a bumper conversion. Man someone has money to blow, nice mod but IMHO I wouldn't spend that kind of money for a bumper.

Scooby2.5 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well all, SNAG number one. Graham I have a slight problem. I just got the bumper off, and of course unpacked the bumper you sent and the issue is there is no back beam included with the bumper. The back beam on the outbacks without the cutouts (USDM) is thicker top to bottom than the one with the cutouts. I thought the back beam would be included with the bumper based on the description below. Ill send you an email as well. Was this to be included with the bumper cover? It looks like it to me. Here is the description 107-034-S JDM BUMPER SET PAINTED Two notches for Tail-pipes. All hard ware, back beam include. *Choose color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby2.5 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Your right it is not. By the way I get a car allowence with my job and 38 cents a mile over 3200 in a 3 month period so driving my car pays for my mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man someone has money to blow, nice mod but IMHO I wouldn't spend that kind of money for a bumper. How much in US dollars did you pay for your outback? Just curious. I paid 24000 for the brand new outback with the 100,000 extended warranty. I planned on buying cheaper than an STI or a legacy GT so I could put some money in mods. Its far cheaper doing that than paying over 30,000 for an sti or spec B. and you get your car EXACTLY the way you want it. Check out the pictures of my Jeep I sold on the webshots account linked earlier in this thread. I spent alot of money building this Jeep and I did it all myself. When I sold it the Jeep I had 178,000 miles on it, it was worth about 5,000 (KBB) and I sold it for 8,000 which recouped almost all the money I had put into it. I had taken care of that Jeep so well, even while four wheeling in the mountains of colorado that the guy who bought it was really happy. He couldnt believe it had that many miles. Which by the way is a testament of mobile 1 synthetics, the motor and transmission were as strong as the day I bought it. It never used nor leaked a drop of oil. If you take care of things you might even get some of the money back you spent while having the fun of building it. To each his own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
