So I recently had a creaking noise too it was fine and then all the sudden when I took the car off ramps i noticed the sound later that day. Every thing seems fine no issues with steering or vibrations no tire wobble when I jack up the car. It doesnt happen always over bumps only sometimes. Anyone that has had this issue figured out what it is?

@tigger73 I actually did get them to change it to a 245/45. And I didn't bother getting new tpms cause I'm going to use my stock ones. And thanks for the info

I searched and wasnt able to find any info so i figured i would ask. I have ordered a set of 18x8 MSW type 77 with 245/50 with a 45mm offset was wondering if anyone had rubbing issues with going to this tire with the stock suspension and ride hight.

So ive seen this question asked but only saw one response to it and i wanted to see if there was anyone else who encountered the problem with upgrading to the dual exhaust and losing low end torque? And if so was there anything you did to correct the problem? Just trying to find out before i purchase the invidia exhaust cat back system.

Still no issues here love the hid's

Well after doing the tests last night I didn't see what a lot of people have. They weren't blinding me or my friend. And yes I know they aren't legal but I'm not going to worry about it. If it does become a problem then I will fix the problem. I'm also sure that 99% of the people on this site have something illegal on their car so I find it funny people bring it up on this thread. And that is not a shot at you YeuEmMaiMai

Finally got my kit and installed they look great and what a difference from stock. did a bunch of testing with a friend and he said they didnt bother him at all. i drove behind him for a while set up on coming situations and he didnt have one complaint but said they looked great. Thanks XD for all the help!!!

Ill take a pic of it when lifted up tomorrow for the better fitment.

 

Did you have to modify the 3.6 midpipe? That would be great if it matches up.

@Upstater I have no problem with your input and information. I have a problem with being called cheap and lazy. As I've said before in talking to people that have done the hid install with the same car lights I have had no issues I've even seen them in front of me and there was no problem. Everyone who decides to do mods to their car will end up doing something illegal even if it's just tints. Many people with lifted trucks are illegal cause the standard hight of the headlights is to high. I get that and I've already stated that if it does become already issue I would redo my projectors. Just no reason to be rude you voiced your opinion and I appreciate the info but there's a better way then being a jerk.

I'm not being "cheap" or "lazy" but why jump the gun buy new housings when people here and others that I've seen and talked to about this say I don't have to.

Actually met a couple yesterday that has the same car and did a hidden kit in the same way I am the lights were not any different except the color I did not feel I was getting blinded by them. Also called XD and spoke them on this and they said it shouldn't be a problem. AND @upstarter thanks for the unhelpful rude reply!! I hope you go on the jeep forums and say the same thing

Installing HID insert kits into stock halogen projectors is actually not legal.

 

For one thing, the halogen projectors in your Subaru have squirrel finders, which project some light up to illuminate street signs and squirrels.

 

For another, there is no self-levelling feature on halogen projectors.

 

If you want HID's, the second best way is to retrofit with a proper HID projectors, which at least have the correct cut offs to reduce glare, though still lack the self-levelling feature.

 

Best: buy the OEM HID headlights and install them, with both proper cut off and self-levelling.

 

Wish I saw this before ordering lol. I'll go ahead with the install and see how it works out. Thanks for the heads up.

Also sounds like someone should go into business making just the midpipe going to dual probably would make a good amount of cash lol

Looks sweet thanks for the info and I promise to use the search first before just throwing random questions out. Haha

Da_Maxx I definitely will be using the search next time haha. Just looking for better visibility overall and I was checking out the hid kits from XD and will be getting one from them actually going to order today going with the 4300k with the Philips upgrade. And then down the road I will look into the high beam upgrade. Again sorry for being a noob. Again thanks for all the help

Use the search function. That being said:

 

Unless you have the 3.6R, no direct fit dual exhaust. Requires some fabrication.

 

Takeda 4303P is a direct fit intake- http://afepower.com/afe-power-tr-4303p-takeda-stage-2-pro-dry-s-cold-air-intake-system

 

Thanks for the info on the search function as well as the intake and exhaust.

SSD Performance has a direct fit intake- http://ssdsubaru.blogspot.com/

DRL disable is unnecessary as our low and high beams are separate bulbs. Unless you're planning to put HIDs in the high beams, which pretty much everyone recommends against doing due to repeated on-off being hard on them.

 

Was thinking of doing LED for the highbeams but wasn't fully sure on going that route. But thanks for the info guys it's greatly appreciated

I am looking to upgrade of hids but I hear it's good to do the drl disable but can't seem to find how to disable them. Sorry if I sound like a noob but I'm new to the Subaru world

Hi I am new to the Subaru world and I'm looking for some advice. I've looked around on here and have not found a clear answer on dual exhaust if it's able to be purchased or it has to be customized. Also I've noticed that some of the part numbers 4 a cold air intake here are four earlier models if anybody can point me in the right direction that would be great thank you for your help
