Ricearu Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 If it has equal length manifold it will sound like a regular 4cyl with a glasspack. like a civic... yuk. better look into unequal length headers while your at it. might eek a few more pony's out too. also if your going for performance get some 2.2 cams reground by deltacams. mmmm torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobie_newbie67 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Could I Ask about the Brake Calipers your Subie Has? I've had Problems with the Front e-Brake Mechanism. i actually still have the stock calipers. these were direct fit rotors. took us a while to get the caliper screwed back in but it didnt fight us, which was nice. after getting them in with a screw driver and a hammer, i went down and bought the special tool for it for next time i do the brakes.

1982gl4 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm loving it. I also had an exhaust put on it at the same time, she's really loud, like obnoxiously! I removed the second cat and now it has a strait pipe with one glass pack in it. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bheinen74 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 ^ you need asap to extend your tailpipe out past the bumper. if you don't know, there is moisture and lots of corrosives in exhaust gases, and it will cause rust unless you extend past the body. trying to give help cause you will regret overlooking that. as quckly as you can go get some piping and make it go to past the bumper. trust me. exhaust gas is very acidic.

How bad does this happen in West coast cars? because mine is under my body still.... doesnt come out close to my bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I shortend the pipe for this very reason. ^ you need asap to extend your tailpipe out past the bumper. if you don't know, there is moisture and lots of corrosives in exhaust gases, and it will cause rust unless you extend past the body. trying to give help cause you will regret overlooking that. as quckly as you can go get some piping and make it go to past the bumper. trust me. exhaust gas is very acidic.

bheinen74 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I shortend the pipe for this very reason. you sir, will learn. please extend the pipe to the end of your car. unless you car about carbon monoxide, and other rusting gases. do what you want, but i have seen cars rust due to too short tailpipes. Speaking of i have too short cd's shorty the pimp etcs but you are too young to know. On this subject i will only give facts and you should listen to facts. science is real and the gases coming out are real. Out them past your bumper dude.

The Dude Abides Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I will only say 2 things about this. 1. hes right about the exhaust gasses because i did the same thing and it rusted the shield and the underside pretty good. 2. It sucks when your hauling something with the gate open and the fumes roll up into the car. Yea thats happened quite a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Luckily I have a sedan But I think Ill leave mine like it is... if it rusts, Ill repair it and learn my lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain why the area between the bumper and the back of the car was rusting even though I live in 3-10% humidity. My pipe ended just in front the tow hook. I did that so I wouldn't crush the pipe when I was wheeling. Oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricearu Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 04 sti struts and springs. the back sits a hair lower than the front so I will level it later, but I am so happy! It handles like a dream and rides like an NPR box truck! all was direct fit except had to swap top strut mounts off of my rears. no biggie Before After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982gl4 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 After :slobber: That looks so good.... I think I'm just going to do stock replacements with mine (kyb) but damn if I could find some of those, it would be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
