Well Routine Oil Change and Tire Rotation at 91k and Had them check out my Black Tranny Pan.. Well sure enough the Dreaded CVT Leaking Recall Service Bulletin luckily I'm still under warranty.. So either 2 options One is a Quick Gasket Replacement the other is another Access panel Dealer's not Authorized to Open and Repair Leading to a Complete CVT Replacement.. Down Side to that I'm in a loaner for 2 Weeks Depending on Availability.. [emoji30][emoji22][emoji22]

The Carbon Fiber Intake can no longer be sold outside of NZ and not to be sold out of the entire STI Performance Package on the Legacy. So the only way to get it is to travel to NZ and sweet talk a dealer or find an aftermarket one in Japan.

This is it no? Waiting for them to give me shipping estimate via NZ post. Going with someone else.

 

 

 

Yep that’s the one! How much did they quote you?

Instead of welding, cutting and what not how about we use an older one that doesn't have any defects.

I found this one for a '99 Legacy from another forum.

34160AC030 is the part number.

Is it possible for someone to measure the Legacy Universal steering joint to see is this will fit?

I found a couple of links that show that the STI is about 1-2 inches shorter than the one for our Legacy/Outback and we would need to install the Lock Down.

This is for a different gen legacy but it's showing some information.

Funny in that most folks debadge their cars and not add badges but to each their own. I have been thinking of putting a TURBO badge on mine with a flame:p

Thanks for sharing what you did to your 6th Gen today.

Badge. And yes he said he can do international shipping. But he is asking too much imo.

Here's the part number from my invoice

93079AL030RS

For the badge or the intake?

Also which Third party vendor? Make sure they can ship to the US as I paid for something and come to find out they didn’t do international shipments.

I can't find any reference to an RS model on the Subaru site. What is it?

It seems to be only available in South Africa and New Zealand

I’ve been trying to get in contact with him but he hasn’t responded since the order of the carbon fiber intake. I actually contacted Subaru New Zealand directly to get things rolling.

Took about a week from New Zealand and after everything about $100

Yeah I had to track it down through like 4 different companies until one said “Oh we were wondering when you would call us”

As far a needing a tune icewolf I doubt it really changes anything but sound. Cat back I could see needing some but nothing crazy. Course this is my first new car in 10 years lol. Nameless has been making these for years and deny specify us needing one.

Do you happen to have video and more pics. I feared that when they finalized this that the gap between the muffler and bumper frame would be there. I wonder if the bumper ring can go back on it to hide the gap.

I got in contact with a parts dealer in NZ already and just working out logistics.

Does this count?

Installed these.

Did not ask any questions, took the pictures and they submitted for warranty approval by Subaru. I already know the service manager hates my guts from a little incident where he was having a bad day, so hopefully he submits it in an impartial way (or at least, submits it at all) Said it would take a week to get a response.

 

The body shop manager said, and I quote:

 

Paint just doesn't hold up anymore like it used to.

A rep from SOA had to come to my dealership to look at my older car and they ended up approving it to get resprayed even though the service manager didn't want to do it. I saw the final bill and it came to about $6300 to get resprayed.

There is an actual 3.6RS, just not in the US.

Also that intake is for the 5th Gen from the looks of the duct securing points.

Tell me about it. We sure got the short end of the stick. Still love the car though.

Does anyone know where I can get these items?

This is really bad after seeing those photos. The best thing to do is to respray it at a body shop or if you feel comfy try to wet sand, clearcoat and polish it yourself. If you live in a climate where rust is bad then get it done sooner than later.

Most likely it was burned in through the clear coat. Complain to SOA and they will determine if they can help you. They paid to have my hood, roof and trunk lid repainted on my 2016 I had before.
