tommypenguin Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I will on Saturday. One of the other users (puzzled) is going to help me get it fixed over at his house. So I only have to listen to this old truck for a couple more days. Have you decided what you want to do with your exhaust? Nice, as for my perrin mufflers, after I get my car back from the body shop I am going to buy some oem mufflers and put them on. I had one local say he had a couple for sale but I haven't heard from him in a while. Quikslvr I will pm you if I can't get a hold of him in a week to buy your oem mufflers if you still have them. As for my perrin mufflers double, I will sell them after I take them off, interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yup, still got ALL my stock parts. I really doubt I will ever take off my SPT CBE so let me know if you need them. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleM Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 yeah, I might be interested in the Perrin cans if I can afford them. My x02 cans being out of line with the cut-outs kinda annoys me, but not enough to spend a fortune on a nicer exhaust. Oh, and I bought the uppipe gaskets from subaru today, I got the manifold-uppipe gasket (2 bolt) and the uppipe to turbo gasket, but when I gave them my vin number they said this turbo gasket is a 3 bolt design, but my stock uppipe has 5 bolts on that end. So I'm pretty sure I gotta go back and get the right one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 The TOP of the UP where it bolts to the TURBO has 3 bolts for the UP->Turbo plus two that hold brackets making 5 total, but the bottom of the UP or the MANIFOLD->UP union has 2 bolts just like all the others. Tell them you need the round one not the triangle. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommypenguin Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 ^^^ He's right you need the gasket shown on this link. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=44662&d=1193512491 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleM Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Ok, thanks for the picture, that's the one I have. The other gasket I have is the exhaust manifold one, its just the 2 bolt design. I'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleM Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sorry its been a while since an update, been pretty busy. On saturday I brought it over to my buddies house (username puzzled), and him, myself and another subie owner got it to stop sounding like a truck. The MR gaskets were failing on both ends of the uppipe, the bottom one was about half intact by the time we took it out. Also, we discovered that one of the turbo studs on the turbo-downpipe connection was messed up and needs retapped, factory flaw. Car runs fine now. We were also having a hard time getting the MR up-pipe to bolt up to the exhaust manifold, and where the up-pipe and exhaust manifold were, there was a pretty big gap before we bolted the 2 together. After we torqued the crap out of them, we got it so that you can barely see between the 2, there's just a very small gap there now, we tried to double-gasket it, but that didn't fix the small leak that was there. So, I think the up-pipe is messed up, or else I got the wrong one...I'll have to talk to the vendor about it, but I think we might just gut the stock uppipe and be done with it. It will fit perfect and be free. I have no idea why the uppipe would be too short...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/subaruwrxfan/Spec%20B/Uppipe002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/subaruwrxfan/Spec%20B/Uppipe001.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilT Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hogzawst mod is supposed to be on the mufflers, not the UP Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommypenguin Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Ya that was not meant to fit for sure. That gap is wide enough to slip a cheeseburger in there. I wouldn't have even attempted to connect those flanges, just for fear of the aftermath of stripping the holes, which has been done. Do you have pics of what it looked like after you guys tightened it down, or did you just leave the way it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleM Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 No, we tightened it down so that the gap is very small, we thought another gasket would do the trick, but it doesn't, still a small leak. I don't know what could be wrong with it. Boostjunkie said it might be bad flanges, we'll have to take it apart again and see what we can do about it. I'm glad everybody else thinks its as crazy as I do...anybody with an MR up-pipe care to measure the length of their pipe? That way I'll be able to see if its just me not doing something right, or a manufacturing flaw at MR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
