Always a love/hate 🤣 sometimes they work and go as planned, sometimes they want us to "accidentally" punch ourselves in the face with a breaker bar 🤷♂️😵💫
Just for future reference 08-14 STI/wrx is base off the 05-09 Legacy. So almost everything from 08-14 Wrx/STI will work on the Legacy. I mentioned it to Tanner about a month ago. Good job on the Legacy.
Had figured that was the case. If something hasn't been available for the outback/legacy in the past I've always just bought GR parts and they've worked, even seat rails, etc. It's what actually makes a subaru, a subaru. 😉
@@MatlasDI that's true. I'm working on turning my legacy into a full track car. I had the car now for 11 years and it has been a fun learning experience.
@@ahmedsimmons4465 oh yup 👌 that's similar to what I want out of my outback. Legacy is taking the place as the daily to be able to do some wild stuff. 🤙
Looks real nice, at least it was "just" a usdm bumper and nothing fancy. I love how you just send it and cut and plastic weld your only bumper for the car. Id want to do it on a spare first personally 🤣
Had a fair share at cutting random parts up, I don't even think at this point 😅 it either works out and give ourselves a pat on the back or we laugh about it 🤣🤣
Nice clean install . Im going to be running the Process West FMIC for mY LGT. It has XO2 Racing FMIC now and I did have to delete the Fog lights as well so I am sure I will have to cut off as much as you did for this kit. Turned out great ..
Thanks man! Process west is a good kit, might actually be a more viable option as I think they have the inlets located lower on theirs so it may fit under different components depending on how the piping is routed. Definitely interested to see how that works out 👌👌
Great Video definitely an underated channel,yours and tanners videos are always fun to watch regardless of the content of it cant wait to see the channel grow more and give you the credit you deserve 🙌🙌
😂👍🏼 you guys remind me of how my younger brother and I do installs. One both helping and criticizing the other, keeping the fun vibes flowing. We work on his EJ and on my FA similar but slightly different trying to improve function properly. Until certain fitments don't cooperate with the car lol, I know the feeling all to well. But really that front mount looks stealthy and in your face aggressive on the legacy 👍🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
Samee, car is so close. 🙏 Chewie was making 400/440, but we pulled and sold the shortblock and most of the components off it. It'll get a new setup running a 6466, so hoping to around double the horsepower on this next iteration. Going to be a long term project as I want everything on it to be perfect and will be doing a lot of custom pieces. 👌👌
Nice video! I have always wanted to get a front mount but ETS is waaaay to salty. Thanks for confirming my suspicions about the Grimmspeed kit. Cheers 🍻
Well I was planning on going with this kit for my 05LGT, but I would rather keep my fogs and functioning tow hook cover. So I guess I’ll go with the top mount kit. Thanks for the vids Mat! And keep up the good work!
Thank you Kevin, I'll have info hopefully soon on if a jdm front bumper can keep more of these pieces so I'll update when we pull the trigger on that. Ets is always a good option as well with a kit that fits our cars 👌
Did you ever end up putting a fmic on the Outback ? I’m looking everywhere to see if I could pull off getting a fmic on my xt without chopping it up to much or maybe it would be better to stick with aftermarket top mount .
@jjequihua8842 Before teardown, I still had the grimmspeed topmount that was modified for speed density. It did well and honestly felt more responsive in daily driving than the front mount, likely due to the shorter piping. I have a different front bumper on the outback, so I'll be going custom with this next setup to limit having to chop that bumper up. I've seen people run various front mounts without having to do a ton of work. I'd just be mindful during of where the charge piping comes out of the core. That's typically the issue rather than fitting the core itself due to the huge foglight housings protruding from the backside of the bumper 👍
Pain in the ass, but good result. Front mount looks good! Sad to see the expansion tank won't work, but there's more important things to fit there, so no worries. Pay it forward or save it for a new project, eh?
Yeah always a lot of moving things back and forth. Was sad about the Moroso, tried real hard to keep it on there. Was very unfortunate. Might work on the outback depending on mounts for the AMS manifold so we'll check things out 👌👌
If I had to pick, I'd go with the cobb for silicone, or killer b for a hard inlet. I've had a few different ones and perrin having a plastic insert is annoying and it will easily deform if overtightened in the slightest whereas the cobb is metal, and the other popular hard inlet is agency power, which seemed to work pretty well but their supplied couplers are a little weird. Cobb silicone is probably the easiest to work with. 👌
@@MatlasDI I know it is, I won't order it until I absolutely need it. I have a lot of electrical work to go through and figure out my transmission issue whether it needs a service or new clutch kit with TOB
@@ThatwhiteSTI honestly Chewie made 400 with a grimmspeed top mount, and that was with the 5eat robbing horsepower, could have pushed mid 400s as a manual and that was on a 1.5xtr and 1000cc injectors with a single 340lph pump, so it isn't a huge deal, but it definitely helps. Priorities suck, we need cheaper Hobbies 🤣

@@ilintner003 yeah the fitment chassis wise is perfect and should fit even better than mine due to the piping being designed around having their intake as well.
I think the core would fit, but with foglight placement, the end tank inlet and outlet wouldn't work and I'd have to cut a lot out. I had an idea for one that might work with Chewie if I don't go a complete custom route.
@@MatlasDI what might you go with? I'm thinking about going FMIC but that's a lot of cutting. I was thinking JDM bumper but I'm not sure that would even work. Any ideas?
@RPDallasT I think in any case, there's going to be cutting of some kind involved. For my outback, the only one that looked like it might work is a GD treadstone intercooler, which has a very interesting design and, from measurements, appears to line up.
Matt is my spirit animal! I love my STI and working on it but I also hate working on it at the same time.
Always a love/hate 🤣 sometimes they work and go as planned, sometimes they want us to "accidentally" punch ourselves in the face with a breaker bar 🤷♂️😵💫
Good job at making it all work out! Can't wait to hear her start up 💪🏾

A great video brother. It's good to see you and Tanner. Subies forever guys and gals.
Thank you, sir 🙏 Yess, Subie is life 🤙
It’s coming together one piece at a time 🔥
👌👌 starting to look like a runner again
Making stuff fit/work is one of the best feelings!
💯 best feeling when it works out 😁
Well done! I am sticking to the Grimmspeed TMIC but it's good to know there is a good FMIC with a good core available.
Grimmspeed TMIC is still a very capable intercooler, ran it for years with good results. Thanks man 🙏
Your videos have been amazing during the final dialing in of my LGT. Great work, dude!
Thanks dude, means a lot 🙏
Good to see you back

When I bought my LGT it had the pipe going under the Intake Pipe closer to the injectors and valve cover.

Excellent work bud keep on churning

I wonder if the facelift 08-09 usdm bumper will fit better
I'd say all depends on the fog light location and how much they stick out of the back.
That’s awesome man!!!!!
😁👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Tom! 😁👌
Hey Matt.
What turbo inlet would you recommend for these legacy's.
I have a buddy that just picked up a new turbo for his 09 spec b.
If I had to pick, I'd go with the cobb for silicone, or killer b for a hard inlet. I've had a few different ones and perrin having a plastic insert is annoying and it will easily deform if overtightened in the slightest whereas the cobb is metal, and the other popular hard inlet is agency power, which seemed to work pretty well but their supplied couplers are a little weird. Cobb silicone is probably the easiest to work with. 👌
This will be perfect for my 05 outback 👌
Yussss. Outback bumper might work a little better as well. 👌👌
So how'd it work on your outback?
Didn't run this one on my outback, only the legacy. Outback will get a custom setup due to the jdm front bumper.
@@MatlasDI so it would work with the stock bumper then?
I'm going to have to go frontmount on my STI, when I retune it cause I'll be going to over 400 wheel, and I'm on TMIC right now

Looking to get either the standard jdm spec b or switch to a face-lift late model jdm. My dream would be to make it somewhat of an S402 clone.
Do you think that mod would fit chewy with its bumper
I think the core would fit, but with foglight placement, the end tank inlet and outlet wouldn't work and I'd have to cut a lot out. I had an idea for one that might work with Chewie if I don't go a complete custom route.
