Yes and no. Once again depends where you go and how lenient their are. In all reality any aftermarket dp catted or not can get you flagged/failed even though it really is a visual inspection.

Anyone have an “emissions guy”? I’m due this month and really don’t want to swap down pipes again.... any help would be appreciated.

I’d say simple performance is the best bet for running in slc. And I’ve got an extra short block for sale if ya need! Ej255 out of my 05 obxt.

Finally finished the rebuild on the outback... only took 7 months ha Subaru’s.

Ended up scraping the jdm motor idea after it was damaged in freight and just went with a fully forged 255. Stayed 5 speed on the gearbox too and I’m very happy about it. Went with a rallispec sti ra set and then had the gears cryo treated for extra insurance. Feels super solid and playful.

Despain kinda laughed and told me not to waste money when I asked him about the brace. So I guess I’ll skip it. I think I’m just gonna go built 5mt too! With the power potential of that turbo and just wanting a bullet proof setup I just can see putting in a used 5mt even JDM. And so stoked on the 440. The synopsis graphs I’ve seen on it really impressed me with the amount of time it platues out and you can actually enjoy your peak power. Espescially in the 350-380 tq range.

Merry Christmas to me...

Hops I wouldn’t be surprised with your twin scroll and mods list that you’d make in the same range hp/tq on 91 with a proper tune these days. Either way I’m very jealous of the flex fuel upgrade! Have to stick to 91 time for now but on the other hand I’m super excited for 8500 redlines on the new JDM motor! Do any of you guys have experience or I should say opinions on transmission braces? There are several companies that make them some with pretty crazy torque claims... idk considering adding one to a JDM 5 speed, whatcha y’all think?

I understand the broke game lately... Outback is going to be brand new though. Was having synchro issue, and the motor has 148,000 on it now and about 70k of that is tuned and lightly modded. So started to explore all my options, and decided to go JDM found a 2.0 legacy spec b block, and I think I just found the matching tranny! Plus with all the money I’m saving versus just building a stage 2 bottom end from scratch, I can invest more in power!!!

Oh man I kinda spaced on emissions and I'm past due...

Anyone have a stock downpipe I can borrow? MT

Or better yet anyone know "a guy" so I do t have to dismantle everything?
