Fifth Generation- Official Power thread
Rutchard replied to BBPeik's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
But since all dynos read differently, Virtual Dyno might be a little more consistent for the sake of comparison between cars... -
Interest in Widebody kit?
Rutchard replied to KCLeo12's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
*shrug* With proper offset wheels, I was able to cram 275's under the stock 5th gen fenders. This thread is over a year old, it's probably dead -
5th Gen Legacy FMIC Fitment/Install
Rutchard replied to Fabsx's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
This. Just go SD, wire in a GM IAT sensor somewhere on the cold side piping and shitcan the MAF sensor. Intake options open waaaay up after that. -

Generally, upstate is a lot less strict than downstate NY. But some places will still do a visual inspection and fail you if you're missing exhaust bits. One dealership wouldn't pass my old STi because even though I had a catted DP on there, it didn't have the TWO cats that the stock DP had. Went to the local Midas after that and they passed it with no problems. Seems to work out best for modified cars if you go to an inspection shop that doesn't know your car inside and out

So stupid question since I don't live in CA, how often do you have to smog your vehicle over there? Once the referee signs off on it, are you good for the next smog test? Or are you going to have to go through all this next time unless Subaru gets you an updated sticker? Also while people are contacting companies, someone should get ahold of Mitchell and let them know they have at least the wrong exhaust diagram for a 2010 GT in their system. Wonder what else they have wrong or if the 2011-12 are wrong too. Sooooo many mechanics use that system...

5th Gen Legacy - Suspension Mods
Rutchard replied to SBT's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
There were options 5 years ago. I was on RCE T2's back in December 2009, 2 months after taking delivery of my 2010 I think there was at least one person on BC coilovers around the same time, but I think we were the first two with coilovers. 2008 WRX stuff bolted up (with some modifications), but it took a while longer before anyone released lowering springs for the 5th gens. H&R's springs were vaporware foreeevvvverrrr -

When I had an EWG on my old STi, I jammed the Supertrapp on the end of the dump tube for autox sites with sound limits. Didn't do a lot, just enough to stay under the dB limit. -

MBC makes the wastegate opening muuuuch more predictable. -
Process West WRX Verticooler installation

But fahr_side was talking about the intake there, not the charge pipe. I thought he was a pretty big supporter of replacing the OEM charge pipe. Don't think the OEM charge pipe was so much of a restriction, just a common failure point. Plastic tends to split/crack. -

Meh, leave the stock endlinks until they actually break. No sense in throwing money/parts at a problem that doesn't exist yet. If I didn't kill the stock endlinks with a 22mm Whiteline rear bar on the full stiff setting with loads of autox, they can't be that bad. -

What about a helicoil to repair the threads and keep it M10x1.25? -

The Teins? That's the price for all 4 corners. Entry level price for entry level coilovers. -
