Stage 4 Built Subaru Legacy

Did you put larger tires on?I didnt think legacy's were that sleek.

Tires are barely larger than stock.. This car is a 5EAT.. just has some long gears.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Ratio 3.540 2.264 1.471 1.000 0.834

I know it has a 5eat. i have a 4eat.

I didnt think even with those ratios it would top out over 160-ish.

are many of the subi guys trying to pull the front drivetrain shafts out? it would make for less parasitic loss on the motor.

I've considered it but the rear diff would grenade for sure. Although it would be easily replaced without having to match gear sets

Nice.

That car is retarded loud though.

Is it really that loud or is it just because it is in the garage?

3.5" dp 3" mid pipe and dual 3" pipes with 4" tips.. no cats just two dynomax bullet mufflers.. its pretty loud. But remember the with the wastegate wide open its straight dump

since you subi peeps are here, on a sidenote, is it cheaper to make a wrx with mods faster and handle better than a sti or just buy the sti? price comparisons?

sti has superior drivetrain.. i would start with the sti platform unless you feel like upgrading a trans once you start putting down decent power. Basic wrx i'd stick with less than 400whp .. anything over an your starting to push the limits

With the price of sti's coming down so much (can get a 04 sti for ~15-16k) you are better off just buying a sti.

Unless you get a wrx for 3-4k and then blow the rest on transmission and engine swap.
