For the cabin noise, focus more on that front muffler, go for a type with more muffling and then you will see a big reduction in noise right throughout the car

Well that is just amazing. I have shared the link many times this morning amongst the AUS community and some in USA too.

 

You have done an amazing job, fantastic detail about the work done

Good to hear the tuning is fully sorted, joy in abundance will follow

Can assist with Tribeca, send pics and I will advise the things we need to consider. The tuning is easy how that Italian Legacy has XRT all experienced in this model now.

300 came and went a good while ago I think

I think this is what you're looking for: http://www.graveyardmotorsports.com/product_p/gm%2099-3530.htm

 

Good find, the person that mentioned tons of cash - can direct their cash right here, receptacle for it is waiting

Always looking perfect

Announcing - the current stock of headers is now sold out.

 

We will resupply in the new year

I have been in contact with Italian - going strong presently. Not sure what his next mods are

 

Good to hear from both you you also

This thread gone quiet?

 

Raptor will have the 3.6 headers in stock very shortly, ship docks this morning AU time

Headers for the 6GEN will be available from Raptor from the end of Oct - early Nov. Will typically deliver some solid torque and power gains. Read about the 5GEN 3.6 owners who have them if this is new information to you

Injectors are extremely easy to source for the 3.0/3.6 - only needed if you want to experience the joys of boost safely. As mentioned - STI injectors slip straight in.

 

The OEM ignition coils punch out solid sparks, they ignite boosted engines very reliably, the Subaru coil is solid.

 

 

The path to NA power is in the airfilter/intake system to the throttle body, its in the headers and correct exhaust system and finally its in the tuning of the ECU. You upgrade all those items and you will get the solid gains mentioned by others. Proven and safe path with solid satisfaction

Quick update on XRT (Xtreme Racing Tuning) e-tune progress.

 

We are on the 4th, 5th revision now and the car runs better than ever!

As smooth and linear as she was in stock form with less than 100 miles on the ODO,

but of course far far stronger.

 

Very crisp, quick throttle response all around

Great low and mid RPM torque and power delivery in any gear

Strong high RPM and WOT pulls (she pulls hard well above 6K RPM)

Butter smooth idle

Drastically better 5EAT behavior (gear selection, holding, engine braking, shifts in auto and manual mode)

Improved sensor readings and ranges (IAM, A/F Learn and Correct, MAF voltage vs g/sec scaling: happy engine, happy ECU)

Further refined engine sound (likely as a result of AVCS, base and max knock additive and cruise timing table changes)

 

The tune has rounded out all the mechanical mods and even stabilized Bank1 and Bank2 AFRs, especially at idle and under CL driving... exactly where I need and want them to match.

 

Hats off to Ed for his work! We are almost done I bet, just refining at this point.

 

No matter who does the job, an outcome of happiness is the best outcome of all

The low RPM rattle issue was fixed on mine this past Saturday.

 

In my case it turned out to be a loose clamp on the mid pipe not too far upstream of the rear axle and diff. It must have vibrated loose over time or was not torqued down well enough the last time the exhaust was off the car.

 

While here, we inspected the entire exhaust like Tim suggests and found one other 'minor' issue. One of the Bank 2 exhaust port pins was pulled out and never threaded back in by the shop that had the headers off most recently. You can see it in the attached pics, the pin all the way over to the left... compare it to any to the right. We locked it with another nut and fed it back into the block.

 

Re-checked all points from exhaust ports to the muffler tips out back. Tightened all bolts, nuts, etc. And did a smoke test to check for leaks. None found.

 

She's as good as new, no rattles, no strange noises 800 to 6.4K RPM

 

Thankyou for following the advice and getting the desired outcome. It is no different even on my own car - the system must be fault free to be rattle free.

 

Impressed!

Check clearance around all point of exhaust from front to back and make sure there is no stress or excess pulling at any mount points.

 

It is an installation issue and I experienced it myself several times when I first developed the product. It not the headers themselves, it's how the entire system is fitted.

 

Inspection and small adjustments will eliminate the rattle permanently

Lol. I just look at my clock and saw 8/25/2015. Lol. Cheers.

 

Tell me, do you make for the EJ204???

 

Ed, nothing for EJ, that market is saturated already

Tim,

 

Check your date.

 

Ed, all good, that is how we write the date in AU. 8th day, 10th month,2015

The next Raptor header shipment is NOW UNDERWAY at the factory - will progress report here as normal. Should be on way here around the 8/10/15

I have 12mm spacers (near 1/2") in stock if you really want to drop the header down a bit further. I am using this on the Outback when there is a clearance issue. Works very well.

 

Email me (raptorsc@westnet.com.au) and I will send you a set if you like.

All sorted.

 

Anyone else keen for headers, deciding on when to process next order ......

The spacers are only needed in two cases (Tradewind, please correct me if any of below is incorrect):

 

a. 5th gen 3.6R with 26mm FSB (either a 2013+ or a 2010-12 with upgraded FSB)

they help to prevent clearance issues with the headers and FSB once the suspension is loaded once off the lift and/or active when car is in motion

 

b. 6th gen 3.6R

 

The information above is correct

 

Also, a 3.6 mounted in a 4GEN does not need spacers at all, as discovered by spidermanswrx. No 4GEN H6 requires spacers

First impressions: the Mrs. is driving now so I got some time. (btw she's got a big grin too as she punches it)

 

She was a bit faster at first but the real power came after the 50 miles and ECU got fully dialed in.

 

Torque: it's definitely a huge increase and suprisingly not overwhelming except right in the beginning when I didn't get the pedal modulation right.

 

She pulls SO easily at highway, rarely needs to disengage the torque converter to accelerate, even on inclines.

 

The car just hits 3rd and pulls unlike it ever did before. In fact 4th feels more like 3rd used to.

 

0-60 is probably low 5s, need to clock but might even be high 4s.

 

Sound: there is no way to explain it but exotic. Super quiet on highway and its not a growl or a drone, but it's just nice..I think the magnaflow will be added next year. I've heard yours Perscitus and it sounds SO nice.

That's terrific feedback, the magic is still good!

I bought mine in late May and had them shipped directly to AMR so I still haven't seen them. Oh well, I will see it Monday

 

AMR have had their stock for near on 2 weeks already ......

I found another buddy with access to alldata that said he would help.

 

I think I was one of those 5th gen orders. I got them yesterday and they look amazing.

 

You would be. All USA customers should be seeing the products arriving right now or in next few days

Header stock all SOLD OUT

 

There will be more, just let us know if you are interested and we will initiate another run of manufacturing. We have a 2 people so far for next order.

 

Quite a few sets of headers went to the USA this time for 5GEN, a header set was also supplied for a 6GEN owner in USA
