Happy 2012 everyone!

Must say, I put about 8,000 miles on these Potenza G019s, and they don't show any sign of wear. And I drive them track style now and then, very solid hard compound tire, thats also great in snow, wet, mud. Very pleased Bridgestone!

Put the Steering Damper on today. Stock Vs. OME

I run without a muffler right now, its not very loud, has a nice growl. Although I can agree with running open head, its gonna be loud, plus you lost a lot of bottom end. Good to know about cost, this might just be the way I go!

On the topic of exhaust, that is something I really need to do on TW10. The mid pipe flange has a pin hole where it meets the 2nd cat, as the cats flange is rotted all way. What I'd like to do is: Either get a new cat or eliminate the 2nd cat all together (Is that possible?) Get a Duel Resonated Midpipe from a 2.5, or have one made. Run it all open out to the rump roast end. For shiz and gigz, if I walked into a tire/exhaust shop, and asked them to replicate my midpipe but with 2 resonators and a larger diameter pipe (2.25") what do you think that would cost out of standard exhaust tubing? Under $200? Cause then, I would either get a decent muffler like the Impreza guys run, or just do it straight open bumping the size from 2.25" to like 2.5 or 3". Ideas, Thoughts, Rants? Lets have'em.

Same here, I think the glass is a little more durable. But, everyone has their opinion. If you want to fix your poor headlights, swap some HIDs in place of the 9004s. You will light up the entire road. All my vehicles have HIDs now. No going back!

That is pretty interesting, I wonder why they didn't continue them onto the Legacy. Personally, I like glass lights better then plastic, they just project better. The lights in my Loyale and Land Cruiser are both glass and still out illuminate better then the Legacy or Outback lights. You just can't do all the funky shapes with glass as you could with a polymer.

Superu, you will want to look for 1998-99 Lights, that were the only years they had two piece (96-97) had the single piece legacy style. Yes, like 987687 said, you will need to splice in the other connecter to the vehicle wiring. Its just a 9007 style. And yes, the 9007 bulbs are WAY better then the H4 bulbs. I also agree with 987687, The projectors are plastic. Also, on the first gen Imp, they are plastic from what I have seen in the yards. Subaru did away with the Glass housings when they stop production of the EA82.

Its a '95 Outback. Do I need to say more? Do the math.

100% direct swap. The only think you will need to change is the H4 harness end, to the Outbacks 9007 Harness end (That was easy) Other then that, all the mounting holes are right where they should be, even for the corner light (You will need a little square push in plastic nut, like what they use for licence plates) so the corner light has something to bolt to. Other then that, direct swap. And the light output is much more solid/full and even, no stupid little flares off to the side like with the stock housings. Totally worth the 30min it took to swap them in. Cheers. Edit: one thing thats funnny about the OB lights Vs. the Legacy. With the OB style, the entire Lamp housing pitches to adjust beam angle, unlike the Legacy style, where only the inner bucket moves. (This reminds me of an EA82 lamp now) lol

Never drive the car.

Stock Headlights: Outback Headlights: For fun:

Clear Lights.

100% agreed.

Yes, the one pictured is like $150 from an 80s 4-Runner. Crazy.

Is that felt wrapped? Glare reduction, like a rally car!

Couldn't take the insipid ratting of my cup holder in the Legacy, so I ripped it out and threw it out the window onto the highway. No more ratting, problem solved.

Inclinometer anyone? Thats what is next for TW10. Went to the local junkyard in search of one from a Montero with little luck. Looking at something like this,

Worth knowing! Sticky this!

Outback headlights on a Legacy, "SAY WHAT!?" Yes, its true...

'98 outback headlights in. Need to wongleflute with them a little, but should be good to go.

Yes, the header hangs down to low (Wraps in front of the oil pan) and the skid plate will not be used. Also, you will need to run the small genuine filters, because the pipe is to close to the filter.
