November 28, 200718 yr i just got a 04 outback sport and i need some power tips. first off im not looking to take an STi off the line. (or a wrx for that matter) im just looking to see what small (reliable) mods will give me some extra boost. in-town and freeway driving are fine but on my very frequent trips to mt hood it seems to lagg on the uphill seections. as for the car it has a 5 speed and an ej25. if nothing else i just need a good recomendation for intake/muffler combo
November 28, 200718 yr some headers maybe....? you can get updated fuel maps for the N/A engines too i think.
November 28, 200718 yr Yeah, I heard the updated fuel maps are good for a bit of power and MPG. I think Zap reviewed one awhile back. Headers will help, but the general consensus around here is to stay away from the Borlas. They are equal-length and sound Honda-esque. And they have a propensity to crack out. Many a horror story has been told...
November 28, 200718 yr Erm....I think you'll find that the largest portion of cracked Borla's are replicas. Look to cobbtuning.com maybe ?

More like the opposite, and the cobb headers are way over priced. From what I've been reading it was only the early borlas that cracked. The e-bay stuff is about half the price of the real thing. I have also heard that the OBX and Cobb headers are made by the same place, just sold at different prices.
November 29, 200718 yr Engine management and better flowing muffler will be your best bet for power. Suspension bits will make the car feel a LOT sportier, but it won't help you up a steep hill.
November 29, 200718 yr A good tune up. New plugs, fuel filter, air filter, wires, fuel injection cleaner(or seafoam in the tank and seafoam through the intake.) Then again its a 04. Id look at the maps to tune the car.
November 30, 200718 yr A 2.25"catback exhaust/muffler, CAI, borla header or equal length header, Perfect power SMT-6, Perrin crank pulley. I did all those above cruise up the passes in my heavy OBW...no problem...!
