  1. 350 to 400 HP is a lot for these cars but there is more to power than peak horse power. If you are serious about going for that much hp you will need a ton of supporting mods. I would say a good first step before you drop 5-10k is to get ARP head studs in it, a drop in panel filter, and a nice dyno tune. This car really opens up the power band from stock with a good tune. It may only be 10-15 more hp than factory at peak but in your 4k rpm range it might be 50 more hp. I strongly recommend you thoroughly read this stickied thread containing a lot of lessons learned about power in the 5th gen gt platform from the people who trailblazed back in the early 2010s. https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/5th-gen-gt-power-roadblocks-and-solutions-259192.html
  2. A word of caution. I know cobb's system runs .5-4.5 volts saving 0 volts and 5 volts for error codes. With an ethanol sensor even a small amount of water in the system can throw of the values by a huge amount. Cobbs flex fuel plus their AP will put you in limp mode if it determines that there might be a problem with the detected ethanol percentage. While you are tinkering it would be a good idea to see if the open source code has anything like this.
  3. The power roadblocks sticky thread mentions it. The non cobb solution is not a kit and it's open source. You will have to do a lot of research and work.
  4. I have an 04 Outback H6 VDC Sedan that's developing an exhaust leak that sounds like it's from the left rear wheel area. Is anyone selling some exhaust or know of an affordable replacement with or with out the catalytic converter? I'd even buy headers back if available.
  5. In addition to the throttle body coupler check the intercooler end caps top and bottom. The high boost can separate the end caps bending back the aluminum tabs.
  6. I tossed mine because it got too damaged but I have been running the Primitive Racing skid plate.
  7. 2021 q1 Pulled the engine. Big first for me personally. Free engine stand is too big and I had to buy longer bolts to mount the engine.
  8. ssulb care and cleaning during the winter will definitely help. I know my subframe isn't the greatest and I've thought about replacing it. Since I lowered my car I've had some scrapes and bumps, one incident with summer tires, a freak early snow dusting, and a curb. My subframe is probably structurally sound but as I am building this into a track car I want to have one that's not dinged up and rusted. It'll last the life of the car if all you are doing is commuting but when you start modding requirements can change.
  9. yeah, I know, damn bearings, good things coming soon though. Picked up a very lightly used no rust vf54 from a 15+ WRX buy sell trade facebook page of all places. I have an exhaust housing without a crack now. I can either go OEM or BNR TD05 upgrade. Still deciding and talking to my tuner.
