Roke Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Does this trick only work with HID's, and does it screw up the light cutoff like it looks like it would? Sorry for the late reply. With halogen bulbs there's no use in doing this. I did this to change the direction the 'rod' that's running alongside the HID bulb is facing. That rod casts a shadow if mounted without this mod. (A halogen bulb doesn't have this rod.) The light cutoff didn't change. I simply rotated the bulb. Nothing else was changed. Maybe the bulb is tilting a little bit out of center because by cutting the bulb base you lose one of the 3 dents in the metal. (I can't find words to describe this better in English.) But I can't imagine that causes any major problems. The light image projected on the road looks a lot better since I did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylew Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I bought one of these and put it in my '96 OBW and absolutely love it!! I plan on put in the LGT. Not sure how much cutting of plastic I'll have to do since I plan on putting where the lighter / ash tray is. It is slightly larger in diameter but so worth the work to make it fit. No need for an adapter anymore! And I know that no cutting would need to be done if it is used to replace the port in the arm rest. http://www.eachbuyer.com/car-truck-cigarette-lighter-adaptor-dual-usb-charger-power-plug-socket-12v-diy-p318030.html Wagon is LIFE! - 265,000 miles and climbing Unofficial Build (Restoration) Thread Steering Rack Rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe452 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'm curious to see how well this will work with the 1 amp port considering most new devices are designed to draw at 3 amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylew Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'm curious to see how well this will work with the 1 amp port considering most new devices are designed to draw at 3 amps. It has a 1 amp and 2 amp port. The 2 amp is what most phones and tablets use, I haven't seen a mobile device charge at 3 amp before. The 1 amp I find perfect for my iPod, but still charges a phone (obviously not as fast as the 2 amp port) It's just super convenient because it gets rid of the need for large charging adapters and is super cheap Wagon is LIFE! - 265,000 miles and climbing Unofficial Build (Restoration) Thread Steering Rack Rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe452 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'm going to do something unheard of on the internet, you are correct, I was going off of the Nexus 6p charges that are rated at 3 amp. either way I like the idea of built in USB charging.

Roke Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Thinking of modding your factory mufflers? They're pre-shaped. No options to put a tip on it you like. But it's quite easy. Just bolt off the factory tips and cut off the 'trumpet'. Patch mufflers up while your at it. http://myalbum.com/photo/UvJIpipjZL6o/360.jpg http://myalbum.com/photo/kz2KfZajNpSz/360.jpg http://myalbum.com/photo/NAVW7IWFD59S/360.jpg http://myalbum.com/photo/JNib2POeveSV_oFQnxv/360.jpg http://myalbum.com/photo/jET2ISfbyFvK/360.jpg http://myalbum.com/photo/1QGLbtQHRgKc/360.jpg ( ^ metric) http://myalbum.com/photo/TEXcybXxYR6M/360.jpg http://myalbum.com/photo/pJqOGV5HAE6u/360.jpg http://myalbum.com/photo/HF54jHaxYwIE/360.jpg More info?

Ask! Good innovative modding. I intend to paint my WRX's muffler ends black, too, but am still uncertain of a process that won't flake off like it did on my LGT's... what did you use? Different from my own long buried posts on here with internal mods I made to my LGT's mufflers, which were more performance oriented than cosmetic. Your mods compliment those of mine nicely as options. Here is something I've done on my WRX for performance reasons, and also highlights what is lurking within the LGT's mufflers as well. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2757586 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roke Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks for the link to your mod! I came across that topic while searching for exhaust options. I used Hamerite heat proof paint. I'm also wondering if it will hold. I actually had to paint them because the previous owner did that too. I painted the back of the rusty muffler on my mother's Fiat Panda almost a year ago to test it. That still holds up fine. But I didn't paint the back of my stainless mufflers I had before because I thought that surface wouldn't hold the paint for long. I had a Invidia Q300 catback for some years. That looked and sounded great, but since my Legacy is N/A it became way too loud, even with silencers in each tip. The fact that my Legacy is a wagon didn't help much either. I did try to block out some exhaust sound by isolating parts in the trunk and rear hatch, but that didn't help much. So I decided to go back to stock. I did that yesterday. http://myalbum.com/photo/MThhSSp5RjwC/360.jpg It's quiet like a walk in the forest now, but to be honest I like it. My wife likes it even more. I still have a bit of a rumble because I have the RalliSport Racing UEL header with Magnaflow high-flow cat. I sounds a bit like a classic VW Beetle or Saab now. My stock mid pipe has a stainless straight through resonator welded inbetween, so that opens up the exhaust a bit. http://myalbum.com/photo/6AZolukwDxeZ/360.jpg But off course the factory mufflers block the flow greatly. Although, I can't say I really lost much power. Maybe 10-15% less torque. N/A cars like back-pressure, so I might even have some benefits over the 3" > 2.5" (way to big) plumbing after the ECU adjusted itself a bit.

LuckyProfessional Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 *HEADS UP ON HOGZAUST* At least in Missouri theyre phasing in emissions inspections that include checks for exhaust leaks. The tech runs his hands along the length of the exhaust feeling for escaping gas. If theres any, the car is an instant fail. Hogzaust is in and of itself an exhaust leak. They will however pass your car if you wrap it with some heat reflective tape, exhaust wrap, and hose clamps, so if you're getting your Hogzaust cars inspected, check your states test for this and wrap the muffler flange.
