You guys here are quick and efficient in responding to questions, wish I had more input, but this is my first subaru, in 40 years of driving. Any way, my headpipes are in sad condition and because its a NA I'm not spending 800 bucks for headers. But... in researching parts I have come to notice that the 05 pipes are a simple Y and converter, while 06 seem to be a tri y long tube setup. Now plainly it looks like the extension pipe would need to be changed as well, but do they interchange from year to year??

I have been looking at various manufacturers bars, and they all pretty much state GT only, mine is an I Limited. Is there a physical difference in the bar, is it the chassis mount clamps that are the problem or end links?

NO VAG product from 2005 through 2015. Supposedly all the timing chain, chain tensioner, HPDI fuel pump and cam shaft issues issues on all the engines are fixed after 2015. No answer for the carboning of all engines and the occasional catastrophic engine failures caused by it, other than to take it in to be, walnut shelled every now and then. After 2015's I have no info as they are still under warranty and haven't had any come through the shop yet.

After reading through some of your threads I can see you have done your time, lol.

That was quick!! thanks!

Plainly you guys have never owned an Audi. How about getting 30K on an engine having it seize, then trying to tell you its not covered, all the while there are numerous campaigns for bad high pressure fuel pumps eating the camshaft, cam seizing due to incorrect machining, oil galleys plugged with machining debris from day one, bad engine temp sensors, control arm bushings and ball joints that go bad before 30 K,. A HVAC tray design that traps water, and floods the passenger compartment ruining $2500 worth of trans abs, and convenience modules. I owned and repaired Audi's for over 20 years, Subaru ain't the only ones dodging and weaving.

Just got this car 2 weeks ago, loving it so far. Drove Audis for decades, but they have become over priced unreliable plastic S*&^ piles these days. Any way cant seem to get any real flow to the floor, although anywhere else is like a hair dryer. Are there any known issue?? Is the HVAC vacuum or electric controls??

 

Thanks
