  1. And if you can't find it on there, Here is what he posted. Exhaust System The factory exhaust system fine for it's suited purpose, however it is extremely restricted. The focus of the restriction is the muffler. The exhaust pipe from the engine to the muffler is l 7/8”, which is well-suited for the EA series engines (see Flow Velocity below). The restriction is the muffler itself. Notice that the tailpipe, which is welded to the muffler, is actually smaller than the inlet pipe. The pipes inside the muffler are this small as well. At least this is the case on my 86 4WD wagon. This causes back pressure which robs the engine of efficiency and power. Some backpressure is desirable to control the temperature of the exhaust valves. But too much is not good. I replaced my muffler with a ''turbo muffler'' from a local parts store. Turbo mufflers reduce back pressure, flow freely, and aren't too noisy. The muffler should have a centered inlet and offset outlet. The dimensions should be 3 7/8''x7'' oval. The shell length is 13”, and the overall length is 19”. Try to get one as close to these specs as possible for to fit properly. The inlet and outlets are 2” in diameter. You'll also need two 2'' muffler clamps and one 2 x 24” extension pipe. If your original muffler is shot, you can cut off the muffler from the pipe and reuse the pipe. If not ' get a muffler from a salvage yard and cut the front pipe off of the muffler. The pipe will tit snugly into the muffler after removing the old welds and old muffler inlet. I cut the hanger off of the old muffler and welded it to the extension pipe. You cat: do the same or use a muffler clamp to hold the extension pipe to the hanger. I paid $17.99 for the muffler $3.49 for the extension pipe, and $0.99 each for the clamps. A great deal considering the lowest price for an aftermarket ''stock'' muffler was $100! The result is a noticeable power increase and better fuel economy. The throttle response is ''snappier'' and that dead spot right off idle disappears. The sound is barely louder than stock with most of the sound being very low pitched. You can ''feel' it more than you can actually hear it. It's more noticeable when decelerating, but there's no popping or cracking as associated with ''glass packs'' or straight through mufflers. I find it a pleasant sound. If you're looking for something a little louder you can use a 2 ¼” extension pipe in place of the 2” extension pipe. This pipe will slide over the outlet on the muffler (instead of inside) and will require a 2 1/4'' clamp to hold it in place. The larger pipe has a slight ''megaphone'' effect deepening the exhaust sound and adding a little more volume. A word on performance exhaust systems. These systems replace the exhaust system from the catalytic converter to the tail pipe. Some systems actually replace the entire exhaust system. They also increase the size of the exhaust pipe up to 2 1/2,' These systems are fine if you plan to run the engine above 3500 RPM all the time. They actually reduce horsepower and torque at lower RPMs. The reason:
  2. Ok i was looking at the 80's part of the site and found this! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/ea-performance-page/subaru-ea-performance.html Now he say's it will work, But if i buy the OEM EA82 turbo muffler/tail pipe will if just bolt right on? Because that would give me a little better get'up and go!
  3. And i know it was not a Loyale! That's why i said RX coupe'
  4. Because there's JDM and UK, Aussie one's. Just like Datsun with there 1978 240Z. In Japan it's called Nissan Fairlady. Because Datsun is a part of Nissan. So you understand.
  5. Hey 75subie, Nice Brat! I kinda like the T-top. But i'm more of a hardtop guy my self. Anyhoo $2200 is a pretty good price. Since it's like new!
  6. Oh! Yeah i think i remember that! I've heard something like that!
  7. Thanx for the link Shannon! Yeah i see there's some difrent links one is to 60's-70's Roo's and then 80's. And 90's to Presant! Cool!
  8. Wow yeah, Hey monstaru i like your Brat! I think it needs a brush guard tho! But still cool! And there was a Shelby Edition Rampage? I didnt know that! I thought Shelby only did Editions for Ford? :-\
  9. Oh yeah i know the Daihatsu Charmant. And it's really a 83! Wow good guess hey. You know i've seen so many JDM only vehicles so nothing is obscure! Yeah it does look a little like a old Corolla. Cool car bro!!
  10. yeah i have to agree, I like the Brat's the way they are. And i really like the Aussie ones. Those Aussie boys really know what there doing with Roo's!
  11. yeah i guess for $300 you can't go wrong.
  12. I dunno if you can get those parts from Rockauto? I never looked. My dad used to have a 84 or so Omni, The one that look's like the Daytona. But the push rod that moves the clutch plate had a little bend in it and it whore a hold in the plate! Someone else reved the car and let the clutch out and bent the push rod a little. So that's why he doesnt have it anymore. That was in the erly 90's tho. Anyhoo back to the topic. Are you going to paint the cap or leave it white??
  13. IDK it look's like a pile. No offence. I thought it was going to be better.
  14. Yeah you don't see those to much anymore. The one mistake Dodge made with the rampage and Daytona/Omni was they used a VW clutch! So if you need parts you can't get it! Nor from Dodge or VW. So that was a bad move!
  15. Hey bro, yeah the cap looks good! In some ways from the back it almost remineds me a a Dodge rampage! But it still look's good. WAY TO GO!!!!
  16. PS: Hirst, What is your avatar? A 1983 Mitsubishi lancer?
  17. Ooo Yeah i'd like to see pics form a brochure UK or JDM or whatever. I'll; have to add your site to my fav's. And Yugo's are really a Version Autobianchi. Yeah i have to agree they share the same look's but there really related?
  18. Oh yeah there's tons of cool mini/micro vans. Like the Mitsubishi space gear. And Toyota Hiace. Even Nissan has some cool ones. I would buy one if i could find one. MICRO VANS ROCK!
  19. That's guy's site has some good clear pics! Yeah i have to agree, I don't like the thought of that body kit. "RUST TRAP"! Like most body kits. Now if they put a 81-84 Brat bull bar insted that would be good! I like the lil' Justy's! You have to like them, There cute! With there lil' 3 cyclender engine. Atleast the first ones anyway. Now did the newer Justy like "91" have a 1.3?
  20. Wow! Yeah the Sambar's are cool! I like the Sambar mini truck. Yeah i've seen alot of pics of Libero and Sambar's! The Libero was also sold in Australia. As you know aussie Roo's are always cool!
  21. Yeah see a canvas top with a roll bar is a good idea. It turns heads. You've got to see about those pic bro. I mea a 3dr Loyale with a canvas hatch sounds cool! Oh! And are you sure it was a Loyale? Maybe a RX coupe!?:-\
  22. Yeah man, I woundnt do that either! And yeah that Econoline looks really trust werethy lol! Look's like a seen from Hannible!
  23. Hey yeah where do you get those black plastic things on the resr doors? And don't feel ignorant about racks. Atleast you learn something right!
  24. Well yeah because think of all the fun you had!
  25. Ooo Wow now i'm getting wet! That thing is almost mint! I see you'v got a big dent in your front fender. But thats an easy fix. Oh and those are just rack posts. There not for ski's! Like those are what you mount stuff too. Like the Yakima load worrior roof basket. But it still look's cool! You'l know what i mean if you vist Yakima.com How much more accelertion does the turbo EA82 have then the N/A EA82?? Pretty fast? I'll give you 5 stars on that!
