    How do you like the Yakima hold up? Any significant side to side movements off-road? Have you ever put fairly big rigs on it?

     

    Very happy with it. If you don't have a hitch yet, I'd recommend going 2" over the 1 1/4". The 2" model will just be that more robust. The 1 1/4" Holdup is rated for max 2 bikes, at 60lbs each. I run 3 trays on a custom setup but none of the bikes loaded weigh more than 30 each.

     

    The Yakima racks come with a threaded hitch pin that allows you to cinch down the rack in the receiver - this greatly minimizes any side to side motion.

     

    If you're looking to purchase, I'd recommend a 2013 model over the 2012 as it has added adjustability to offset the two bikes for clearance at handlebar/seat overlap.

    ^nice ride dude. More info on your rack please? I am planning on getting such a rack very soon. My mpg gets hit hard with my current roof rack set up.

     

    If that's in reference to my pics, Yakima crossbars on EZ Rider mounts (discontinued) and a Yakima Holdup. The pics a few posts earlier included Yakima Boa fork mounts. I don't normally run the fork mounts, opting to run the hitch rack instead most of the time. The fork mounts were just for the show ;)

    Yes, you have the headers we believe were only used in early 2005 or late 2004 on some cars, perhaps early rendition of PZEV? There aren't many cars with this setup around afaik and I don't think you can run any of the aftermarket headers out of the box.

     

    The RalliSport piece won't bolt up either.

     

    I'm not sure, but you might be able to run the borla replica header you have plus a 2.5RS catted midpipe, like the Stromung or RalliSport midpipes:

    It would be best to get ahold of someone with the standard '05 catted midpipe to see if it'll work on your car before purchasing one. Not sure what you'd need to do for O2 sensors and the like etc.

     

    No simple solution basically...

    Yes my manifolds look exactly like that

     

    hey Dubz,

     

    can you humor us and post pics of the manifold on your car now?

     

     

    Cool excited to hear it

     

    Just realized your vids were the first ones that I watched when I first got my 2.5i. The whole time I thought "They sound good but I wish he did drive by vids".

     

    Yah, will capture some drive-by's next time.

    Are you sure?

     

    Did you look at the other link I posted? That 2005 has these headers:

    Because the headers I posted above hanging on the wall are mine, off my 2005 2.5i.

     

    And I'm running borla replicas that look just like those in the box:

     

    Here, when I took them off to get them coated after the header wrap started to deteriorate following the loss of my skidplate.

    I did create a separate thread on the topic (http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/anyone-running-borlas-56410ag06e-engine-coveri-209685.html) but with zero replies, thought perhaps I should ask here, as this thread is tracked/read by most folks who have modified their 2.5i exhausts...

     

    Does anyone here have the 56410AG06E engine cover (LGT undertray) on their N/A legacy with borla headers? Does it clear?

    For you guys using the Yakima Q-towers and clips, which clip # are you using?

     

    Yakima's site suggests the 53 up until MY2004 for the sedan, then changes to 78 for '05/'06 - but nothing changed styling-wise between those years, did it?

     

    '05 is when the gen 4 car was introduced, so yes, there was an update over the 2004.

    How confident are people with using the upright racks? I really hate taking the front wheel off but I feel like it's more secure.

     

    If I take a corner hard could the upright bike fly off?

     

    It's a lot more crap up top all the time, I'm concerned with additional wind noise and mpg decrease.

     

    I plan to run a 15 or 20 mm thru axle on my next bike so I don't want to deal with taking the wheel off when I get it.

     

    Thoughts?

     

    Hitch mount. Seriously, I rarely run my bikes on the roof anymore, only when I run out of capacity on the hitch mount.

    Hey Legacy wagon peeps!! (with flush rails)

     

    What setup are you guys using?

     

    I recently picked up a set of Yakima Railgrabs (old style) and they just wont secure as tight as I would like. I have heard that the newer style Railgrabs are even worse with fitment, but have seen many people on here with them

     

    Here is what I have...

    If I'm not mistaken, those are for raised rails, not flush...

    Just put these on the new 08 LGT Limited gun metal in color but had some naysayers from the local club. What do you think???

     

    You're saying yours are gunmetal and not the chrome and red as shown in the pic? That might be alright but I'm not a fan of the chrome/red... Simply my opinion though ;)
