    Re: '05 Legacy 2.5i - Satin White Pearl

    Wow thanks for all the compliments everyone!

    Cervantes, I wasn't really a fan of white either until I found this car. I just love the pearl when the light hits it right.

    Yamazaki, I don't currently have any interior photos. Nothing too fancy inside, but I will take some pics soon. That's a good idea.

    Meanwhile here's another pic I took earlier this year... Snow should be here soon.

    You will actually lose power compared to your stock EL's

    Re: '05 Legacy 2.5i - Satin White Pearl

    The stock 05 n/a header is unequal from the factory and is routed differently than 06+.... I had a garbage bag melt onto the factory header and it stunk every time it got up to temp. I couldn't remove all the plastic and I wanted some rumble. I didn't notice any performance difference between the two.

    Call me a ricer, but there's not much real power to be made from these engines.

    But here's how she sounds...

    The plates that aren't blurred are photoshopped.... I really don't have 666 666 plates, lol.

    I am planning on making it out to wintercross that day, it's actually my birthday. It'll be my first time on a track, any suggestions?

    Meh, wish you would have kept the dark tint, I was loving the black and white look you had going. Also not a fan of the window stickers either, but to each his own!

    Now you gotta drop a turbo in it!

    Re: '05 Legacy 2.5i - Satin White Pearl

    I got a ticket the tail light tint so I had to remove it. It's annoying getting pulled over for stupid things like that all the time so I've had to live with the changes. I didn't like to see it go at first, but I'm not unhappy with the new look.

    The stickers are for my buddy's new restaurant. They'll be coming off soon though. I don't get involved in serious relationships with decals.

    If the changes you see now aren't doing it for you.... You won't like what I have in store for the car. Lol.

    Sorry my bad forget the EL exhaust was introduced in 2006

    And yes you can make good power with these engines, some cams and TWE exhaust manifold and you'll be hanging with WRX's!

    Yeah, most likely. Seems silly to me to boost a car that is readily available in a turbo version from the factory. And I'm kinda-sorta in the market for a 2.5RS coupe as a new project.

    Thank you. Take your time with it, especially prying the lenses off, and I'm sure they'll turn out well. Good luck.
