Siper2 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hey all. My wife and I got a 2001 Outback LL Bean (white) this past June, used from GRMPer on NASIOC. Good price, and a good car so far. We just got new tires for it (OE-sized BFG Traction T/A-V), and are having some potential alignment issues (see here), but otherwise we're in love with it. Sucker takes a lot of oil compared to my '00 Impreza 2.5RS, I'm not used to dumping nearly 7 quarts into an engine! Anyway, I've been thinking of some light mods that I could slowly work in to the Outback. I don't want anything major, just some ideas. I got my wife (it's her car) a Momo/Subaru shift knob as a car warming gift, but that hardly counts. The only thing I have planned right now is a Baja Turbo rear swaybar, which I think is 17mm versus the OE 14mm, and should bolt right up. The car has a hidden trailer hitch, a cool accessory, and I may get a couple SoA options like the hatch lift bar or a rear spoiler. But for example, is there a decent catback exhaust that will work with this car? Particular suggestions on a model, even if it's a Magnaflow? What diameter will work best? I'm guessing 2.5" ... The stock one feels pretty sizeable as-is, but I'm not sure of the exact size. Is the SPT performance axleback unit the same internal diameter as stock? $205 on http://www.subaruwrxparts.com isn't too bad. Does anyone know if a 2005 WRX blue six-stars badge will fit on the front? At this point I'm sticking with the ideas listed above, but any and all suggestions are welcome! =S2= http://www.nasioc.com - "Scooby Guru" http://www.RS25.com - Moderator (Regionals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siper2 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hmm.... http://www.stromung.com/subaru/subaru4.htm There's that for the Outback, in a couple configurations apparently. That's cool, I like Stromung's stuff... http://www.stromung.com/subaru/stromung3.jpg I just wonder if the tips will clear that hitch bar underneath. The OE exhaust has that funky downward bend in the tip, so that helps it to clear, maybe.... =S2= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siper2 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'm familiar with them from NASIOC and RS25, but I guess never checked for Legacy stuff. Then again, with so many vendors, it's hard to keep track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aczwild Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Then again, with so many vendors, it's hard to keep track.I hear you there, it sucks though because there really arent many vendors out there for early Legacys, even though they are adored in Japan JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

Siper2 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'm poking around boxer4 right now. I know there's a nice JDM grille for the new Legacy, but was there one for the old ones, that may fit an Outback? =S2= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
