litewaitdave1 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 some headers maybe....? you can get updated fuel maps for the N/A engines too i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatswhatshesaid Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Erm....I think you'll find that the largest portion of cracked Borla's are replicas. Look to cobbtuning.com maybe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virrdog Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 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.

Andyjo Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 My borla's (all 5 sets) were genuine :cool: and they all cracked :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyclimbs Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 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...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
