  1. If you're looking for a stock one,I have it Zack K.
  2. I chased a p0171 for months, checked all the above,nothing. In my case,it was a crack in the OEM cross pipe, which led to too much oxygen getting sucked in and fooling the O2 sensor into thinking car was too lean. Worth checking. Zack K.
  3. I had that code and checked the maf, 02 sensor,smoke test and it wound up to be a rotted out flex section on the cross pipe in the exhaust,sucking too much air before the 02 sensor. Bought a new Grimmspeed cross pipe and the code went away.
  4. I've got every part needed for the swap,including a new aftermarket braided high pressure line and I'm simplifying the return line from the rack. Do the stock lines that mount at the rack use O-rings or do they bolt up like a AN line? I want to make sure I've got everything covered before I get a nasty surprise once everything's apart,lol. Thanks,Zack K
  5. If you're talking about making the mid spoiler,I'd be in! Zack K.
  6. First time for me as well, I did the whole exhaust when I first got the car and thought it would be bulletproof for a while. I did a smoke test on the intake,not the exhaust,and found nothing. I thought the car sounded a little louder lately,lol. Zack K.
  7. Finally found my problem! An aftermarket crosspipe that was less than 4 years old. The flex section was completely rotted and letting in too much air only at idle,fooling the O2 sensor about a foot downstream. Bought a Grimmspeed one and installed, no more high A/F learning at idle and low load! No more lean code as well, hope this helps someone! Zack K.
  8. For those who have done their own flaring,what type is it? Is it the ISO/ bubble type of the inverted (45deg.) type? I'm in the same boat and trying to figure out what the car has. Thanks, Zack K
  9. Thanks for all the replies guys. Even though it's my DD, I don't put on that many miles a year, so with about 9K in the last 2 years, I consider my MAF and O2 sensors fairly new,sorry for the confusion. My AFR is where it should be across all the rpm and load ranges, and the LV is pretty steady,I was just worried about the idle range being so out of whack. No CEL's,drives great,idle is smooth. Not sure if I can fully rely on a smoke test,so I'm gonna do the soapy water check around the IC/BOV/TGV connections and try the MAF wires wiggle test. All my hoses are silicone with new clamps and zip ties in the right places, so I'm gonna look in some not too usual areas. Can leaking PCV/ breather hoses cause a leak that would make it lean out at idle? I want to first rule out any leaks before I touch the tune,which has been good to me for the last 5 years
  10. I haven't changed anything with the tune or any parts in the last 2 years,why would my maf scaling be suddenly off that much? Would an exhaust leak affect the 02 sensor that much to read lean and add fuel?
  11. Bringing this thread back from the dead. The OP never posted a solution and I'm having the same problem! 2005 LGT, Cobb stage 2 OTS,new MAF,new-ish O2 and air filter (4K miles) A/F learning pegged at 15 in line A, DAM at 1, no timing corrections. AFR stays at 14.7 at idle and throughout the rev range. Idles and drives great,it's the reading that's bothering me Oh,it's been smoked with no leaks found
  12. King springs are 30% stiffer. I have them all around with KYB struts and love it. Full tank of gas, trunk filled to the top,and 4 passengers,and no sag in the rear at all.
  13. Also,the strut body limits how high the car can go. You can get a shorter spring and lower the car,but not get a longer spring and raise the car. You can get a stiffer spring that will make the car's weight sit higher than stock,like the H&R or King.
  14. I was in the same boat a few years back. I didn't want to lower the car (as we have crappy streets here too and I wanted to keep the clearance since it's a DD) and wanted to keep it simple stock ride height without coilovers. Got a good deal on KYB's and found King springs (stock ride height but 30% stiffer). At around the same mileage as yours my stock springs dropped around 1- 1 1/4in. So getting the setup with the KYB/King raised me to a good stock height. I have it now for a few years and love it. Comfortable yet firm. You also can't just throw Outback struts on,as the strut bodies are 2' longer. Unless you get spacers for the F/R suspension,your angles will be all wrong and you will have massive POSITIVE camber.
