you see my thread about gettings screwed by my local mechanic who i though was cheaper? Subaru IMO is better i dont care, atleast when they make a wrong like order the wrong part, they give me a brand new car to drive, and usually let me drive it for a LONG time. And THEY never surprise me, they always contact me before ADDING anything to my bill, unlike the dam transmission shop. And subaru told me, that they could have dont the job they quoted for 1500 for the same price, except they replace the WHOLE unit where hte drive solenoid c is, to a newer designed unit, that doesn't get torque bind, or isn't as fragile. AND atleast my car would have had honest work done, not some guy who charges 3000 to swap the tranny with a used one.

definitly aware of that, but my first OEM battery lasted 9 years, and the alternator lasted about 11 years. I think thats good, but we did top it up once, the battery got replaced, because my dad thought it was a good option to get it replaced, because we had a motomaster battery in there, and subaru tested it and said it was weak.

ok, i went out, and as soon as i turned it on, the battery was a tad bit weak, and the abs light came on upon start up and didnt even move yet, so it must be low voltage, and when i put the vent speed to the highest setting the vents slow down, and the dash lights, and exterrior lights dim. Is this a alternator problem or battery? the battery was just replaced by subaru with a subaru battery, and the alternator was just replaced as well. Tommorow ill check the voltage at the battery, but the abs light was on, and the led on the abs unit didn't flash i waited a pretty long time but no light, but it said according to abs diagnois instructions, if no LED flashes, then there is improper voltage. But i think this might be a alternator issue, because once the car is started i dont think it matters much if the battery is weak or not, it should still be able to run the car above 12v. What do you think?

lol, believe it or not, I HATE loud exhausts sounds like a guy farting driving by:lol: well a ricer will be a ricer, i think ill get a muffler from a parted out legacy, my old one had a nice big hole in the bottom off it, thats what happens in Canada right? Thanks, never checked out that site, 100US is pretty good, but thats if i cant find a muffler from another legacy. I wonder how much of a difference there is between the turbo and non turbo muffler ?

Dang abs light comes on every so often, and now its winter, and i need it to work ALL the time. So, i im guessing the oil from the front left CV with a broken boot is spewing all over the abs sensor, and occasionally causes the light to come on, and usually when it comes on i cant look at the ABS unit to count the light flashes because im in a rush, just hoping its just the grease spewing, the boot has about a 1inch rip.

I got this crappy muffler,but it sounds SO awful, surprised that i can barely hear it in the car, but if someone is standing outside WOW!! its SO loud, i can hear it from a mile away! But it makes the car sound like a ************ box, so i want to get the OEM, and i liked having a silver muffler instead of black Its for a 93 legacy wagon, i looked on OEM part websites, but they are NOT actual OEM pipes, says a different brand, its pretty much my moms car so no performance guys, lol. Thanks, just hate the way it sounds from the outside, probably loosing some performance too:-\
