    2021 Touring XT aftermarket exhaust sounds / tuning

    in Seventh Generation Legacy (2020 - )

    Posted

    There is basically only axle backs available, either muffled or muffler delete. Lachute Performance and Nameless. No tune needed and there is also no tune available for these cars.

     

    Here is mine with the Lachute Performance axle back. Don't think it's worth the money, the CVT makes it sound not so great, except at idle and full throttle. More videos on my channel.

    21 XT high engine RPM

    1: It revs that high in the beginning to get the catalytic converter up to temperature quicker. Completely normal.

     

    2: Yes, normal also. The colder it gets it also adds a whining sound like a supercharger but that's usually not till it gets sub zero. (Celsius)

    I wasn't a fan of the 2020s vs the 2015-2019 but now I think it looks better. This new style doesn't look too bad, could have been a lot worse.

     

    Those new Sport wheels though, not sure what they were thinking.

     

    I'm interested in that new "Sport tuned suspension" hope it swaps over.

     

    Wonder if that refresh comes to Canada, so far I haven't seen anything and we didn't even get the Sport trim on the 7th Gen.

    No Cobb Accessport?!

    oh no, even the 2021 Outback XT gets an Accessport from Cobb. I'm bought this Legacy Touring XT about a month ago and have been nothing but disappointed with the complete lack of aftermarket parts available.
    If there was one for a 2020+ Outback there would be one for the Legacy, it's the same car. But there is none!!!! You can buy all the accessories but no access port.

    Lane Centering. What’s your verdict?

    in Seventh Generation Legacy (2020 - )

    I changed those setting and it didn't seem to make any difference. I'm wondering of that setting is for Europe where they drive on the left side of the road instead of the right line here in the US
    Only country in Europe which drives on the left is England and Ireland. [emoji6]

     

    Mine bounces between the lines, definitely no centering. Some people have reported improvements after a calibration but it's hit and miss.

    3.6r to XT?

    I just traded in our 2016 Legacy 3.6R Limited for a 2022 Legacy XT Touring.

     

    So far only have driven it home from the dealer but I can say its way better than the outgoing Legacy. Nicer interior for a start, smooth ride, quiet and comfortable. Instrument panel is a lot better and the large touch screen is quick and easy to use.

     

    The one negative I found so far is the lack of a power outlet where the USB ports are. I had the wireless charger added so I'm not sure if that is the reason but I use a radar detector and so far the only place I see to plug it in in the center console. Beyond that I'm loving it.

    There is also another 12v socket in the glove box, I have my dash cam plugged into that. Wires run through the A pillar and into the side of the glove box, so no messy cables.

    Upon delivery and during the initial 24/24 provided maintenance...

    Hello,

     

    Here are some answers as best as I can.

     

    1. Does not really matter. In your climate I would doubt the dealer would put 0W30 in your car but I would ask anyway as some will do this.

     

    2.Dealerships generally will not pit an aftermarket filter on your car. Its more because of liability and the what if factor. Now Independent shops should have no issue with this. I would caution you however on the Purolator Boss filter. I have used this filter on several cars I have all different brands. The filter has a great rating however its just not right for any car I have placed it on. The best bet is to stick to the OEM filters or a M1.

     

    3. Once again the dealerships will shy away from this as its not OEM. if you need to do this you can do it yourself with ease or take it to a shop and have then do it when changing the oil. Just remember to change out the crush washer everytime.

     

    4. This one is tricky. Why do you need a Catch Can in a 7th gen Legacy? I don't see a reason at all. If you plan on modding this car I can say right now go and spend your money on something else that you can do that with like a WRX or a G37 or something. With the CVT in this car it will not perform at all and you will literally get smoked by base Civics. So once again if you are looking at the mod the car route spend your money on another car. And honestly back to your question if they find out the problem was caused by the catch can they will not warranty it. And the Catch can is visible so they can and will blame any engine issue on it.

     

    5. This is already done when you purchase the car. However you can always tell the sales guy that you want to make sure just in case. All they will do is most likely plug it up to the machine and see if its all updated.

     

    Once again not to be an ass but may I ask why you are asking about catch cans in a car that has a CVT? Even if you bought the XT I am not understanding why if you are looking at mods you just did not buy a WRX. You probably will be happier. Did you test drive before you bought so you could see the performance of the car or did you just order the car? For me if no CVT was involved then I could understand. But anyone who buys a CVT trans car and then starts asking about specific mods such as catch cans really should have bought another car.

     

    I would say since you still have a month before the car is delivered go find your model and test drive if you have not. You still have time to make the decision and get out before you take delivery. For me I would be looking towards a nice used STI with low miles or a low mile WRX or even new one if you can find which are probably 90 days out when I look the local dealer.

    He is likely asking about the catch can since it's a direct injection engine which are prone to carbon build up on the intake valves. Nothing to do with performance.

     

    So far noone has reported carbon build up though, so fingers crossed.
