Susie needs some powah - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Okay so if you dont know Susie (blumeanie) just picked up a 2003 Legacy L with 10k on the clock and sad sohc 2.5. Im trying to help pull a little more power out of it because it kinda doesnt go anywhere sometimes.

Nasioc told me part of the problem is it has 10k of granny driving and the ecu only knows that and I should reset it and beat the snot out of it.

Also, Would my stock 05 wrx exhaust fit this car? I really dont see why it wouldnt.

Im probably gonna swing by my work and try and pick up the STi drop in filter and see if there is anything else for this car. Maybe a short ram or something.

Otherwise this car is awesome, makes me want to park my car and drive this one everywhere actually.

Yeah, Subaru ecu's are very adaptive to driving style. Reset that s.o.b. and dive it hard for a little while.

tjf · 03-15-2007, 11:38 AM

y dont you get a CAI im sure they make one for that year legacy

Yeah, especially if its an auto.

Buster · 03-15-2007, 11:38 AM

Anyone know anything about the exhaust. My stocker has been sitting for over a year now and its got maybe 5k on it.

Buster · 03-15-2007, 11:39 AM

cool, this helps. I just want this to be a little more fun because it is slower than the beetle, i just like it more than the beetle and its just a better car.

Snoozie · 03-15-2007, 11:45 AM

It makes me sad that the stupid Beetle was faster than this.

Renegade_ · 03-15-2007, 11:47 AM

I don't think the exhaust would fit. The flanges probably wont line it up. You could make it fit but I doubt it. Then again I wouldn't be surprised if the catback section fit because subaru is wierd like that.

Its an Auto AWD.... The drivetrain loss is rediculous and the AWD split is 90/10. 5MT or bust.

Buster · 03-15-2007, 11:47 AM

yeah but the beetle was stupid. give me a month and you will forget about that car period.

Buster · 03-15-2007, 11:48 AM

All I was really hoping for was the axleback to fit because the stock muffler looks like poop.

Broken5hift · 03-15-2007, 11:50 AM

put lots of stickers on it and take off one of the windshield wipers. thats pretty fast right there

Dave · 03-15-2007, 11:52 AM

#1 congrats on teh purchase!
#2 done a tuneup yet? new filters, sparkplugs, wires, oil, and a timing check do wonders for old cars ;)

Axleback I don't know. Just look at the flanges. I don't know how the exhaust hangers will line up either

Buster · 03-15-2007, 11:55 AM

again, it just doesnt seem like something that it needs, it has 10k and perfect maintainence.

Buster · 03-15-2007, 11:55 AM

I had read that someone with a B4 put an STi exhaust on but I cant get any real info.

Yea, the lady left all the maintenance records in the car.

CWon7bolt? · 03-15-2007, 11:56 AM

What ever you do make sure you reset the ecu last so it can learn what ever you change on the car.

Dave · 03-15-2007, 12:07 PM

in that case:
#3 trbo!

HGs pop on these motors like crazy if you throw any kind of boost at it. 10:1 compression = not boost happy.

#4 trbo and weld bolts to head/block!
