Just had both of mine done. Worst side was the passenger side...awful smell coming through the vents.
There's a kit with both gaskets and spark plug boots, I think...you can find them for about $100. Cost me $300 for labor on both sides and the kit. Subaru wanted $600.
Also listed in classifieds. Easily welded in at an exhaust shop. 4" single rolled tips, nice boxer rumble at a very low cost compared to a full CBE.
Less than a year of use. I'll clean them before shipping. $125 shipped.
Ok, 2005 LGT. Is this http://www.ebay.com/itm/VAG-COM-409-1-KKL-USB-OBD-II-2-Diagnostic-Cable-Audi-VW-/320751418073?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&vxp=mtr&hash=item4aae463ad9 the Vag-com cable I need?
I was put on hold...came back and said "we have guys that drive wrx's and sti's that have them removed." "There's a screen." Pretty sure he meant banjo bolt filter.
After reading several pages in this thread, I'll continue to change/check my oil regularly (every 3k).
I called Winchester Subuaru on Friday...asked if they would remove the banjo bolt filter...Service manager said, "yes, we do, but it's a 6 hour service, approximately $600." I lol'd...said, ok. Nevermind. Really, 6 hours??!!
Just got my GT last week...already wanting/needing aux in. I'm pm'd you...is it best to just order from your website? http://sites.google.com/site/leptronix/
