May 24, 201114 yr ha! the audio blares because its from my phone Agreed, that does sound pretty awesome! Im curious what mine will sound like with a FrankenMotor swap
May 24, 201114 yr "Im curious what mine will sound like with a FrankenMotor swap :)" It will sound like a FrankenRu. Doug
May 24, 201114 yr Author 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
May 24, 201114 yr i started the process of obtaining the engine and drivetrain from an 02 wrx. i also installed the SPT cat back into my 09 wrx. got a new car cover for the brat as well.
May 24, 201114 yr Author I swapped my badges, and added a SPT sticker I couldn't help myself and it looks hardcore. AND ITS +15 HP including the badges LOLOLOL Also painted the front bumper trim (faded out) mmm thursday she is gettin STI struts and 16" steel rims for now. Edited May 24, 201114 yr by Ricearu
May 24, 201114 yr 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.
May 25, 201114 yr Author sweet that was QUICK! That's cool though it sure is a helluva lot more fun. I love my 5spd leg!
May 25, 201114 yr 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!
May 26, 201114 yr ^ 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.
May 26, 201114 yr 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.
May 26, 201114 yr 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.
May 26, 201114 yr You have stated your "Facts" and I have viewed them, Please do not talk down to me.
May 26, 201114 yr 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.
May 26, 201114 yr Luckily I have a sedan But I think Ill leave mine like it is... if it rusts, Ill repair it and learn my lesson.

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
May 27, 201114 yr Put a pair of fresh front axles in today. Next project is brakes all the way around!
May 27, 201114 yr Author 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
May 27, 201114 yr 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
