It doesn't fit your car. I don't know what you want to get out of posting here. There isn't going to be a fix for it. If you want to know what's going on, wrap it with a fragile masking tape and drive it for a while, then inspect it for damage to the tape. But, once you know, you will STILL have a bar that doesn't fit. The problem has but one solution, uninstall the bar that doesn't belong on your car.

Then, the gen4 legacy bars would fit. I'd think that would've been worked out already if that were the case. Gen4 was a long time ago, surely there are aftermarket bars.

All the reporting is super useful, and entertaining besides. If I could think of one thing I'd like to see that's absent, it would be time on some kind of track in addition to your straight runs. No pressure though, you're doing great.

The bushings also look problematic. What's going on there? They look smashed or torn.

That's really great to know! One less thing to wish I could do while knowing I never will.

You can get a shop to build you headers. I wouldn't mess with the cams. That's a step for MUCH later into the job.

Nope, I was wrong, it looks crazy but it matches mine. VERY long end links. However, the bends in the bar look to go a lot lower to the ground than the stock bar(see pic of stock setup below), and look at all the open air around the end of my stock bar, and how close yours is to the...um....not sure what that is. I don't know if your end link needs to be even longer, or of the shape of the bar is not quite right, but something is wrong and I bet you get some "clack" sounds when you turn, no? Sorry, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but this doesn't look right. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160807/6143707a50bcf4f961c9c3a8138bde3e.jpg

I think the issue is that it's just the piping for the intake that's any different. CarID I think has piping to make a custom one for cheaper, I was thinking about that. I did wonder if the takeda a was better though. Thanks.

Is it just me or does it look like maybe that sway bad was installed backwards? I'll look at mine and see if it goes under or over those control arms...pretty sure thy should be over.

Did you notice any remarkable change in performance?

Im looking forward to reading your observations. Thanks for posting.

What has been your peak gains over stock so far?

And how do you like it? Any remarkable change? Is it doable without special tools? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing all this. any recent dyno numbers? What are your total gains?

Looks nice, maybe a little low, but maybe that's just the angle.

Any difference in "umph"?

That sound is great, no doubt about it. For me, however, I want the show to be a few steps behind the go...I always chuckle when I see a car making a lot of noise but not getting anywhere. To each his own, naturally, but if my car gets loud, it had better be a friggin rocket

I was wondering this too. "Worth it" can mean different things to different people. In terms of power, are there maybe dynos posted somewhere using this exhaust?

Looking forward to pictures.

If you're not getting the whole nameless cat back, and you're concerned about money, why not just get the Subaru y-pipe and the 3.6r right side pipe and muffler? I wonder, does the extra flow with a second exit hurt the torque on the 2.5? Typically the benefit of an aftermarket exhaust is power from increased flow due to smoother bends and wider diameter, to a point, and then greater flow can hurt performance. I wonder if the 3.6r dual exhaust would improve power (greater flow after the cat) to the same degree an aftermarket single exhaust would. Anyone have any insights?

you mean these 6th gen legacy forums? the model without a turbo that boasts about the shift toward greater efficiency owing (in part) to dramatically redesigned contours for better aerodynamics? I could have been more delicate with my point, you're right about that - my apologies to the OP.

Aerodynamics fail. Roof spoilers on sedans ruin the aerodynamics of the (in this case, very well designed) car. Here's why: Although I guess you choosing those mud flaps instead of the Subaru Legacy-specific aero version means you aren't going for aerodynamics?

Or, for that matter, bushings (e.g. steering rack)

has anyone ever looked to see if intakes made for other models fit in the latest legacy?
