anyone know?

Will the muffler from a Loyale/EA82 wagon fit on a brat? Just wondering cause I got one. Thanks

anything special about it besides the fact that it is in great shape?

Hmmm, I've personally had several seize up on me, I guess I was just unlucky!

Supposedly they fixed the hg problem in 03 so anything 03 or newer but I don't have any experience with this yet

yeah I know but I consider the north west to be like washington and oregon! Besides my point was that they just love to use all kinds of ************ty stuff on the roads on this side of the country. Ya know the rust belt!

Oh I thought that Pennsylvania was considered north east?!

Thats why I said most of them are bulletproof excluding the 2.5's

Don't ya just love the North east!

Thats a good question? I had my old Ea82 wagon almost completey on its side...it was the passenger side..but it was way over and it didn't tip! That and I recently parted an EA82 out and when I pulled the tranny I pulled the car over with a tractor and again it was at an insane angle and it didn't tip over..We just used the tractor to hold it up.

I second that! It could have been fixed! And I put more faith in people on this forum than I would in japanese people over the phone who work at subaru!!! Or most people who work at a dealership!!! The difference is experience! People on here have pretty much gone through anything you can go through on a subaru!

So you just had a cherry bomb in place of the muffler? I love the sound..it sounds like a subaru. My brat doesn't really have the "boxer rumble" I would love to have it sound like that!

The video is a little dark but.....that Brat does sound awesome!!! What exactly do you currently have under the hood, exhaust etc. ?

Well the sad thing is that you can have this trouble with any brand car at any given time and any given dealer! Too bad you let your bad luck with the one subaru you had lead you to never own another! There must be reason there is this huge forum and several other subaru forums.......maybe cause subarus are awesome, and the majority of them are excellent and most of them are pretty bulletproof!!! Sorry you had a bad experience!:-\

Yeah when I first started working on subarus I was told by a subaru tech that those belts should be "Hummin' tight!"

+1:grin:

I had to shim the lower holes on the shocks so that the bolt would not be loose when bolting it in the stock location and on the top I had drill out the holes to get the bolts through! But not too bad pretty easy install! And I only paid $20 for mine!!!

Yeah I have a real hard time using ramps on my 00 RS! It rubs a little on the bottom of the bumper cover because it's so low! It IS a pain!!

yup never heard of or seen a suby with a frame!

Just to put my 2 cents in....The wheel bearings on these will rarely loosen up. They will just get noisy. Thats what I have found anyways! Good luck!

Does MWE make axles for the EA81's? If so how much and is there any warranty on them?

Yes its in a can and actually if you take the nozzle and little red tube off the top of a WD-40 can and put it on the top of the chain and cable lube than you have an even more precise way of applying it...especially on the seams and in any holes! My uncle just always used, used motor oil and put it in a garden sprayer and sprayed the bottom of his vehicles with it. I guess that used motor oil was already thin enough!

This is basically what I did except I cut the lower radiator support out as well and then used a narrow piece of channel in its place! Much stronger!

Mine doesn't anymore!! But even when it did it wasn't enough, it still rusted!
