For the 2008 SPT Performance Exhaust on my 2010 Legacy GT I used a hose clamp on all 4 isolators. The lateral hangers I rotated the isolator 180° and used the middle hole for both the vehicle hanger and muffler hanger. For the mesial hangers I used the upper hole for the vehicle hanger as usual and the middle hole for the muffler hanger. I traded this exhaust for my Invidia Q300. My wife and I both thought the rumble was way too deep at slow driving speeds and b/w 2000-2500. The SPT exhaust that I traded had a resonator installed upstream closer to the donut flange. It is literally perfect now.. meaner than stock but not too loud, much more tolerable than the Q300 yet still growls. Great on highways and in parking speeds around town. I really love the SPT logo and keeping it OEM (even though they didn't make a true OEM for our LGT's..) Oh.. I did have to take a sledge hammer to the spare wheel tub to prevent the passenger exhaust pipe from rubbing as well.

New Clutch - Engine Lugging?

Try the clutch damper delete mod. Also try a fresh oil change. -

Fixed the front seat back support. It always felt "off", and after playing with my wifes '14 Outback, I know something was broken as my Legacy only made the left side firmer. As this is my first Subaru, I naively thought this was a cool Subaru feature to help keep me in my seat when I made hard bank turns.. Out of curiosity, I opened the seat up to find a broken midline straw thing and two broken hooks with the top hook in working condition but just unhooked. Checked the local dealer price... didnt really wanna pay $353.67 for a new "Frame Assembly Front Back Rest, #64110AJ03A". SO... bent an old wire hanger and added a few zip ties down the center and voila, Bob's your uncle. My back didn't know what it was missing out and boy is it far more comfortable to drive. -

Changed the O2 sensor, went with the denso brand for about a hundred bucks.. P0420 code came back today and Im pissed! CAT was just replaced last summer with 40k miles on it. Only thing I haven't replaced is the A/F ratio sensor (Bank 0 sensor)... -
How about that weather? I also was considering the Koni drop with /13-14 springs, as well as the face lift with the STI lip.. but I get tons of snow in the front grill from plowing through 6-10" of snow.. and then that melts into the bumper and forms just massive ice chunks. I found a new 2010 Legacy GT owner in Chippewa Falls! Has the twilight blue metallic. I am also dealign with the dreaded P0420. Dealer even added spacers to up/down stream sensors for me, rec'd 1-2 cans of seafoam, and Cata Clean. Sad part is I had the turbo and cat replaced at 70k with a used turbo/cat with like 35k. Sitting at 85k now and code has never gone away, just keep resetting the ECU agh.. Moral Hazard how does the romraider work? I miss my cruise control and traction control.

What did you buy for your 5th gen today? - V3

Bought the Media Hub Kit H621SAJ200, for non nav HK head unit, from berter auto group. I installed it and realized it did not come with the USB/Aux module that goes in the center console (H621SAJ220, also impossible to find). It had been in their shelf for 8 years and they didn’t check to make sure all the parts were included before shipping! Berter auto felt bad and refunded me the whole cost! Which was super cool. So.. I take that money and buy the HJ621SAJ300 (media hub kit with Bluetooth) from an Australian dealer and verified that they did have the H621SAJ220 usb module. 1) I can confirm the H621SAJ300 media hub kit with Bluetooth works worth the Limited 2010-2012 Legacy GT models with Harmon Kardon 6 cd head unit (Bluetooth quality sucks tho, use USB.) 2) Now I got an extra media hub kit (without the usb/aux module that goes in the center console), and want to give it away for free. Does anyone want one? Just pay shipping please. You would just need a female to female USB coupler and run the line to the glove compartment or something. It’s like $259 normally but I figured I should pass the love! -

Anxious to install this but wanna have all the right parts. Ya know... "While I am under there" might as well replace : TMIC coupler, add some braided steel lines, shifter bushing and shift stop. Everything except the braided lines have been sitting on my kitchen counter. Anyone that added steel braided lines, what brand and part number did you use? -

Bought the Media Hub Kit – Subaru (H621SAJ200). Fiance has factory installed in her 2014 Outback, loved using hers too much. Should pair well with the ProClip phone mount! -
I’m pretty indifferent. No complaints on the BBB, Subaru Certified Mechanics, and good google reviews. However, NO loaner, and it took them 2.5 months to fix the clutch and head gasket. I took Uber’s everyday for work and then borrowed my dads car cause it got so expensive. He had to redo the timing tension just last month, Chilson Subaru in Eau Claire scoped the belt and saw it flapping around. Also had to redo the axle seals. The bracket the tensioner mounts too had striped threads. AND no part numbers for any of the parts he installs. I wanted the brand and part number of the stage 2 clutch he put in and he couldn’t tell me, I was hoping to chat about it on the forums here. Oh additionally he charges me $395 for an OEM flywheel, and when I last spoke with him he said he just remachines the original, and said it’s just like how dealers do that to brake rotors. So I suppose I wouldn’t recommend him, but I didn’t know of any other place to go that knows Subies, besides the dealer. What had you heard?!
