Malone75 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I just recently bought another subie but it's been awhile since I had my last one. Anyways I wanted to put a perrin cbe. Perrin intake or SPT intake on my car but the question is what is allowed so i don't void my warranty?? Oh and my car is an 2008 DMG Legacy Spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Any SPT parts should be good, but other aftermarket parts are in theory verboten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfang Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 First, very very few things void a warranty and almost all of it is not based on you(i.e salvaged titles, etc). You can mod your vehicle anyway you like. However, the flipside is if that mod causes the problem, Subaru can decline coverage for that repair. Only SOA can deny a claim due to abuse or mods, but there are some dealers out there that try to deny it themselves either because they do not know, or do not care.

F-WDC Spec B Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Stay with a stock intake if you only plan on a cbe as you would need to tune the car for the intake and a tune can void your warranty as well, again depending on the situatiuon.. There have been good reviews on the spt cbe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malone75 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 yea i plan on getting an cobb accessport but i just have the money for the intake and the cbe for right now. Plus i havent seen any good videos of what the spt exhaust sounds like but i know the perrin sounds good. Oh and blackfang you are still going to the meet this saturday right?

blackfang Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Oh and blackfang you are still going to the meet this saturday right? Yes, I am one of the ones who put it together along with my SOA Rep and another buddy. It will be at our dealership. We are looking at 160ish people and a lot of Subies!!

vkchu Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 yea i plan on getting an cobb accessport but i just have the money for the intake and the cbe for right now.

Oh and blackfang you are still going to the meet this saturday right? if you only have the $ for an intake and cbe, then get the ap instead. you can find a used one in the 500s in the marketplace here, and youll be getting a definite performance gain vs just some noise. add in a tune for ~100 depending on the tuner and youll be getting even more gains.

F-WDC Spec B Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 ^+1 the AP as a starting mod is one of the best things you can get unless you want to go open source or protune. but an intake can actually significantly reduce performance and fuel efficiency without a tune (even with an AP's OTS maps) and a CBE is mroe noise then performance and is not even needed to go stage 2.

Habitual Line Stepper Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Indeed the AP is a good starting point. Also, if there is a problem with the car, flash back to stock, unmarry the AP. And oh noes, SOA nor the dealer will know its been modified. "I for one do not doubt you, dude.

vkchu Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yea true thanks for the advice guys that is def my next mod for sure. Just have to find a performance shop here in va to tune it for me a tune isnt necessary (as in you can just use the cobb off the shelf map), but it is recommended. ive gone w/ mike @ tuning alliance, and am very pleased with results. others like infamous' maps. read around the forums and go with a tuner you feel comfortable w/ and are fine w/ the price point.

And oh noes, SOA nor the dealer will know its been modified. . . . unless the AP has an error and refuses to unmarry itself, then you get to pull the ECU and ship the ECU and the AP out to Cobb to have them fix it. Fun stuff, let me tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
