now i have four lights on the front. im thinking of a new muffler and maybe a skidplate or push bar if i can find something at a junkyard

 

any suggestions on some loud mufflers that i can slip on and clamp without having to weld?

Loud mufflers without welding = cordless drill. Just put a few holes in your stock one - or your pipes and you'll get plenty of noise.

 

Nice looking car. How much lift did you get swapping in the struts?

haha theres an idea!

 

struts alone probably gave me 1.5 or 2 inches, then the bigger tires gave me at least another inch. looking to maybe make some half inch spacers or something to pick up the rear from sagging.

 

since it has a 4at and the awd is actually 90% torque in the front most of the time, im going to do the solenoid bypass mod to install a switch that makes it close to a 50/50 split for when im rallyin on back roads or in deep snow.

originally saw on a forester forum but a good thread is here
