Thankfully, Subaru saw the light and put the turbo where it belongs and the DP looks awesome! So easy to fit with their flanges and the welds are just amazing work!

I am really impressed with the quality to be honest. The welds, the finish, even the muffler tips - all built with quality in mind.

And the sound is just tits! 8)

For those that are interested, the part numbers are:

HS10SL1GT3-Invidia Q300 SS Tips 2010-2013 Subaru Legacy

HS10SL1DPC-Invidia Downpipe Subaru Legacy

I bought mine from LSD Motorsport in the US, who were super easy to deal with.

Latest update -

Got Matt to tune the wagon last night, and I am very happy with the result.
As well as getting rid of some annoyances (rough idle, reverse rev cut, etc), he made the car come alive.
He estimated it to be about 200kWATW, which is a huge improvement over stock.

The engine is able to breathe a lot better due to the filter, TMIC and exhaust, but the power and torque coming from it now is bloody unreal!

Best mod yet, without a doubt. :D

Update -

Got G88 to install the front swaybar last week, as well as upgraded LCA bushes.

Steering feels way tighter, and I can feel exactly when understeer is going to happen now, rather than just having a vague notion before.

Also got the ride lowered and levelled, and a wheel alignment.

Looks and feels great, aside from the shittty job that ************* did on my rims - they were machined and plugged which is fine when done right, but these weren't done right at all.
They would loosen off, and ended up destroying 10 wheel studs in 6 months!

So it is back to stockers for a while until they sort out my rims, or replace them. :evil:

Niceeeeee, i want to get my front sway bar installed too, now that you've said that haha..

New rims! New rims! New rims! New rims!

Don't get the same, ask for you money back.. i'd say, if they can't get them right the first time, don't give them the chance to stuff it up again.. especially if you're life is at risk!!!

So I got my rims back - turns out that the inserts they used last time were not good enough, and they have now been replaced.
I will monitor them closely, but if I have any more dramas, they are being refunded.

Anyway, I got the Valenti centre tail light installed tonight - prick of a job! The light part was fine, but removing the wing, and then the double sided tape was uber painful!
But, it's done now and looks great. I think I need to tint my lower reflector lights now, as they are too red.

Only two more uninstalled items left now - some HD exhaust hangers, and the other item is secret... 8)

OK, more of a positive update this time!

So last time, I had dodgy inserts, which were failing.
I took the SSWs back, and they refitted a new type of insert and gave me the wheels back, but they were worse.
I had 10 nuts loosen (some a full turn) in 2 days!

Needless to say I was not impressed, so told Pete to replace or refund, which he agreed to.

So, I looked at a bunch of rims, and eventually settled on the Stance SC-7 in black - They are more of a Euro style, and I actually prefer them over my previous ones now.

Some quick pics, excuse the dirty vino-wagon...

Also installed the Valenti centre brake light, but forgot pics. :( They can wait until it's clean!

Still have one mystery item to install also!
