  1. Just picked up a Borla catback for the outback. The invidia I had was AWFUL, your ears bleed when in the car and your brain was actively scrambled. Luckily I had saved the stock exhaust but it wont pass inspection, rear flanges at the mufflers are bowed and its a pretty significant exhaust leak. Plus there is a hole in one of the mufflers. Fingers crossed she doesn't drone on the H6 Wagon. Thanks to @chestercopperpot for the exhaust.
  2. Thanks for this!! Had this exhaust on my old LGT back in the day. Time to get this going on the MT Swapped H6 Outback.
  3. Its not really documented. I used the drivetrain from a 2005 LGT ( rear diff, drive shaft, 5MT ). All my CVs worked just fine in the manual car. Being a 2005, this was probably the easiest year to swap as they were basically the same throughout the world. I bought the MT transmission connector from iWire and adapted the T9 connector to the 5EAT connector. This got my Neutral safety switch and reverse lights to the TCM connector under the dash, and that gave me a straight shot to the ECU. In the AT cars, the TCM gives the ECU the start permissive and it triggers the reverse light relay. So with some quick jumpers I was able to get that all working as intended. In the center console I had to short the key lock solenoid switch, this usually came from being in P on the AT shifter. Then I could release the key from the ignition. I then reprogrammed the ECU with a EDM version of an H6 MT car, killed the few codes I didn't need and BAM, it seems everything is working as intended. No CAN errors, cruise works, high lift works, AVCS works. Not sure if I had any readiness monitors yet, but that's my next investigation. Hardest part was doing the mechanical work on my back in the garage. The 5EAT is HUUUGE and HEAVY (I'd guess 300lbs), and I had to make an adaptor between the 5EAT transmission bracket and the 5MT transmission bracket. I did this differently than most, but so far it seems to be holding up? I don't plan on doing any clutch dumps so its likely fine.
  4. Because they are expensive haha, also I had no idea what it would take it actually make it work, just a rough idea of my path.
  5. Finished tuning my 5MT swapped LL Bean. Now just on the hunt for the correct 3.0R Spec.B cluster from England. Also my 5MT output seal is leaking now, and my exhaust is bumping the original 5EAT crossmember ( which makes no sense because it fit fine before.
  6. Sounds good, next I need to find a pedal assembly and a lgt 5mt cluster.
  7. Hey buddy! I'll take that off your hands and it can sit next to the invidia exhaust and lgt doors I still haven't used yet haha.
  8. I have an invidia catback i would be willing to trade for the SPT in RI. Do you have any photos of the SPT? Also do you know if its a V1 or V2?
  9. I just found some in AUS, they arnt too crazy $$$. A little more money than the nameless and probably alot less drone. Hmmmm.... I'm also waiting for raptor superchargers to get more headers in stock, looking like mid to late July. I did not end up having to take the dash out. You can drop everything below the drivers side dash and get to the lower two screws, and then pop out the upper pocket/dash vents and the top screw is right there. It took a while to figure out what all I needed to undo but it really wasn't that bad.
  10. Got the drivers side actuator done, it was a bear and a half but totally doable. Just need to take everything apart haha. Also picked up some used nameless 5in tailpipes for the outback installed. It's a little more droney in the wagon than I'd like, but I've been told it's not bad outside the car. I just wanted something subtle. Now i wait for the next round of parts!
  11. Im also running 4 pot / 2 pots so that might help the pedal feel some too. But the stoptechs are just very very dusty. I've had no experience with EBC pads or rotors.
  12. I had some stoptech pads that felt really good. Honestly through, when I did the stainless lines and master cylinder brace it made the biggest change in pedal feel. Just be aware the stoptech pads dust alot. I hope I dont have to tear the dash apart to get to the drives side actuator. If that's the case I'm gonna replace all of them haha. I did the vent mode select previously from the passenger side and it was a nightmare.
  13. Yesterday I got my cobb rear swaybar installed on the outback with some new moog end links. What a difference! Also I loved the whiteline swaybar bushings, they are fuzzy on the inside and don't require any grease. The day before I swapped out what I suspect might be a bad charcoal canister, and I think a leaky fuel pump assembly. I was getting a strong smell of gasoline every time the car was filled up. Fingers crossed this fixes that. Next up is the drivers side HVAC damper actuator. Lost all heat on the drivers side, put the AC in self test mode and found the drivers side actuator is stuck in cooling. That should be a fun job.
