LEGACY_JJK Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Ok....here's the deal to anyone who has any sympathy for me. I have recently purchased a 2005 Legacy 2.5i....yeah that right...a 2.5i AUTOMATIC. I am asking anyone who knows anything about Legacy's to please respond. WHAT IF ANYTHING CAN I DO TO MOD THIS CAR WITHOUT CHANGING TRANS OR FULL ENGINE SWAP....PLEASE LET ME KNOW. HELP??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewLGT Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 not trying to be a dick, but if you wanted to mod your car, why did you start with the worst platform for it? you could do intake/exhaust and suspension and appearance mods.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmarko Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Intake and exhaust is probably your best bet. Other than that, I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGACY_JJK Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 This is gonna sound funny..but ive never been a car guy. I have and still drive a 2006 Mercedes Ml320 and just wanted to play around. It was sittin at my local subaru for 19g so i grabbed it. What types of intakes and exhausts would you recomend......thanks a bunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGACY_JJK Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 So....what would you guys recommend for INTAKE AND EXHAUSTS??? THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Even with that you might gain 5-10 hp max. There's just nothing for you to mod to get any noticable power gains. A fully-loaded leftover 05 GT Limited with automatic went for $23.9k here just 3 weeks ago - that's what you should've been looking for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGACY_JJK Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 I live in a small coaltown with one car dealership which happens to be a Subaru, Mitsubishi and they dont even carry GTs on the lot..haha. Like I said..it was there and i grabbed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGACY_JJK Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Where i live..its only lil ricers or Vets that dont race cause they can barely afford their car so any power would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Dude, if your rich enough to be drivin a $60,000 benz - and rich enough to "just swing by and pick it up" for "19g", then your ******* rich enough to flip it and get a ******* GT. God. Gotta leave it to Hogmeat to set these idiots straight... I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time.

LEGACY_JJK Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 why not buy a ENZO...i could drive any car i want...im just simply wanting to further explore into Subaru and play around. ENVY AND JEALOUSY IS ALL I SEE...I CAN SEE THE HATE IN YOUR EYES...lol and im not exactly rich...yeah i got money but i love a nice BENZ and have my priorities set on houses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 how was your test drive before you got the car??...I know you just joined, but did you read up on the differences between the 2.5 and the GT before getting it? In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGACY_JJK Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 I did drive a GT and of course...absent a turbo..i was impressed by the handling and i just liked the style of the car and the boxer really...got any suggestions on what brand intake and exhausts i should get?

meier motor sports Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 do a serach and you will see. think there is a k and n for the 2.5i im not sure if there are any out of the box car backs for them either. but you can do headers off some wrx's check out the naturaly asperated section. and this thread and title is about the most idiodic thing i have ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGACY_JJK Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 yeah i know but i hit a wall being as i know nothing about modding cars...so i come to people like you who know...but i do know that k an n doesnt make crap for the 2.5i....and headers? can someone explain a lil on where to get these..thanks a lot...come on just feel for me a lil..

DLy Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 ...This has all the remnants of a trolling...but I agree with previous posters about flipping your 2.5i for a GT. They are two completely different cars...and there really isn't too awful much difference in price. Plus, a grand in GT mods...will be so much more rewarding than a grand in 2.5i mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGACY_JJK Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 this is not going to be a long term vehicle..just focus w me for a sec...what can i do to a 2.5i AUTO for MODS and what companies for Intake and Exhaust...everything says for GT ONLY...laugh if ya wanna...im still learnin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yup. I'd hope this guy is really old and computer illiterate - his grammar is terrible. Some crotchety old gramps with money - that's OK. he just better not be some spoiled little brat who's mommy or daddy buys it cause he says he wants it. I'm pleasantly surprised...

rvlmtfnk Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yup. I'd hope this guy is really old and computer illiterate - his grammar is terrible. Some crotchety old gramps with money - that's OK. he just better not be some spoiled little brat who's mommy or daddy buys it cause he says he wants it. i'm with you hogmeat. he sounds like a young kid who's just messing around, making up stories... "why not buy a ENZO...i could drive any car i want...im just simply wanting to further explore into Subaru and play around. ENVY AND JEALOUSY IS ALL I SEE...I CAN SEE THE HATE IN YOUR EYES...lol and im not exactly rich...yeah i got money but i love a nice BENZ and have my priorities set on houses" sounds like some 16 year old who's playing out a fantasy that involves him being super rich.

forestir Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 You might have better luck on NASIOC as there are some good mods for the 2.5RS Impreza. Most folks here have the GT, so are not much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
