    Love watching the banter from you two. Al's dry sense of humor and intolerance for internet bull shit is another huge reason I watch. Keep it up guys, can't wait to see some more weird cool stuff.

    Another great episode Al, very informative!!
    We bought a 2004 model 3.0 Outback 10 years ago because we couldn't afford a 3.0RB sedan at the time, despite the slow changing box and fly by wire throttle that shrugged whenever you asked it to reach for full acceleration, it was a powerful family wagon that hauled us all around in safety, comfort and relative frugality......
    I eventually took out the central huge muffler which gave it a really nice rasp at higher revs, but wish I'd known what Al knows back then, proper extractors with high flow cats and 4 cylinder mufflers at the rear would have been the go :). The muffler shop I went to were clueless.....

Looking forward to seeing what this kit is capable of, just upset I never got around to putting it on my wagon

    Great video, very informative. I did my own EZ30R conversion based on being inspired with one of (I think) your first with the blue Forester, using a Vipec V88. I've done the same thing (EZ30R with Vipec V88) but to my 1988 L series offroading wagon. It's a bundle of fun and flies up massive sand dunes with ease. I love the idea of flat exhaust collectors - I have raptor headers and they hang down way too low for my liking. I also have a Raptor supercharger kit ready to bolt on but man, this video makes me want to turbo it instead! I really need to get it tuned better because it's a real bastard to start and it really shouldn't be.
