A couple of years ago I thought my rear diff was done. I found out then that the Spec B rear diff uses a pinion-yoke from an R160. The pinion-yoke between the R180 and R160 are suppose to be interchangeable. Basically you can buy an R180 from an STI, swap the pinion-yoke and call it a day. At least that was my plan, turns out my rear diff was fine so ended up not needing to go down this route. Here's more info for reference..... https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1249910

I like how the tips protrude out pass the bumper. On my sedan they don't and I suspect its contributing to my issues with drone.

I just might, assuming the Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator doesn't work.

That's too quiet, I just want the drone gone.

So, I've been contemplating options in way of quieting my exhaust. When I upgraded to a DOM 1.5 the Stromung exhaust got louder and with a bit of drone. I have a vibrant resonator I was planning to add but I'm afraid it will ruin the Stromung sound. The Stromung is an uber rare exhaust but I'm contemplating selling it rather than modifying it. I have a Q300 collecting dust in the garage and I figure I could buy some XForce mufflers and custom fit them to the Q300. Am I crazy? Should I just add a resonator to the Stromung and call it a day?

Gex what are the specs on those RPF-1's? Are you running a spacer to clear the Brembos? Thanks

This makes me wonder if my OEM fans are a little tired. Sometimes I see 203 degrees in 88-90 degree weather.

Wow! I paid something like $160 if I remember correctly, maybe less. Let me double check my receipt once I get home.

Right now I'm on 17x9+38 on 245/40/17. Rolled and slight pull on the rear and unmolested out front. OEM front camber bolst maxed out at -1.5 camber. Now I'm concerned I'm rubbing the T1's. On really big bumps sometimes I'll hear a rubbing sound upfront, I figure it was the fenders not the coilovers I also have the whiteline bump steer correction kit and all control arm bushings replaced, including the one for caster.

Pictures please. I've been considering a 18 x 8.5 +38.

I'm flex fuel but I wouldn't call it plug and play. You'll need a custom tune to run it. I wouldn't run E85 any other way though.

Is there a particular reason you don't wish to run E85 for the long term? I've been on E85 for about two years now. I make 370 WHP on straight Camifornia 91 octane fuel and 500 whp on E85. Yes! I picked up 130 whp switching to E85

Your advantage is not living in CA like me. In my case I would have to go with the spoolinator in hopes of keeping the car visual "friendly". Are you already use to the 450 whp? I made 500 whp on a DOM 1.5XT-R on E85 but I rarely run the car in the high boost setting let alone go over 12 psi very often.

How much ground clearance are you getting at full height. I've debated getting some myself. Thanks

I've been trying to determine if removing the OEM navigation will create any issues. As it stands the nav unit controls the OEM alarm sensitivity which leads me to believe removing it will undoubtedly create issues. Has anyone here successfully removed the OEM navigation with no ill effects? Thanks

Was there a particular reason other than cost that lead you to use anything other than OEM? I personally would be afraid to run them, especially if they can't determine with certainty why they failed in the first place.

Perhaps I should keep them. I am currently on Stoptech both front and rear BBK. I don't plan on ever going back to stock but if I ever needed to send out the stoptechs for service it might be worthwhile to keep the OEM brakes. Thanks for the help everyone.

So..... Whats the going rate for Spec B front and rear brake calipers?

That's the alternative alright.

So..... I have quite a few oem parts I might have to unload due to a relocation. I normally keep all oem parts in case I ever decide to sell the car and the buyer wishes to go back to stock. I have front and rear Spec B brake calipers, oem exhaust, all 4 OEM wheels with tires, OEM top mount intercooler, a Q300 and a few more things I can't remember. Are OEM parts worth the hassle of posting and trying to sell them? I'll need them gone within the next 40 days.

Sound clip?

Can you elaborate on this? (I had the mod to up the voltage from the alt slightly (~.7v) that the WRX guys like to keep the voltage from falling too far.) Thanks

Add a duckbill or not? That is the question.
