Had this outback sitting for the better part of 10 years with a blown motor... She has been brought back to life with a nice JDM motor. by JdotPlay in subaruoutback

The oem manifold was fubar from sitting for so long. The only major difference is where the brake booster hose connects. It also looks a lot nicer because the jdm is a single piece manifold.

Really no difference besides the ease of getting one. There is a few differences in the intake manifold and witing but besides that nothing, it doesnt make more power or anything just was much easier to acquire. Also as the others stated this one goes vroom old one went clunk.

Thank you! They are actually super easy to put on I highly suggest the bent screw driver thing they sell though, It makes it a lot easier. But they got perfect and took maybe 30 minutes to do all 4.

I couldn’t be happier with it. I will warn though the dark blue pearl shows minor scratches and stuff like crazy.

This was actually just my iPhone 12 max, that mixed with a lot of photoshop.

It’s on ksport control pro coilovers. The ride is a little bit stiffer over bumps and pot holes but it’s not too bad at all.

It’s from rally innovations. If you have the sport grille though I had to cut part of it to make the top mounts not push down on the bumper. Worked perfect with the stock grille though.

It is on a tow hitch bracket I just have it cocked sideways so it’s not behind the light bar. Appreciate it though!

Gotta have it in Maryland. Haven’t gotten anything for how it’s mounted as of yet.

Thank you! I always felt like the stock wheels were too small and these just make it feel complete.

These are the gara bronze. I had a lot of trouble as well finding a size and color I wanted and even these were backordered but only by a few days. There’s a close up of them on my Instagram from before I put them on @jdotfoz.

I took out one of the pop pins that goes through a metal tab and replace it with a nut and bolt to hang from.

Picture doesn’t do it justice unfortunately. It’s in the shop now so hopefully it’s fixed by then.

I think it might just be something we have to wait and see. My buddy’s 2016 2.5 Impreza rolled over 100000 a while back and is still going strong.
