Replying to: woodyboy (Jul 11, 2008 10:22 am) On the Snow Tires: I'm in NJ and use summers and snows. If going to summers I wouldn't go narrower than 215-45-17, as that's stock. I run Nokian Hakka RSi snows and they are GREAT in the snow/slush/rain we have here in NJ. On Synthetics- I would wait to 5,000 miles before switching and wouldn't switch after 60-70k of regular. On the SPT Exhaust, I have it on my 05 wagon, it gives you a bit more power and throttle response and has a nice tone. I happen to know the manager of SPT who designed it and it's a nice unit. The actual increase is 12hp/15lbs of torque at the wheels, so not sure the 30/30 is correct at the crank or not. -mike

Replying to: paisan (Jul 11, 2008 2:51 pm) I have seen excellent reviews on the Nokian RSi, so I will definitely keep them in mind when choosing a winter tire. I will wait until the second oil change to convert to the synthetic. Nick |

Replying to: paisan (Jul 11, 2008 2:51 pm) Do you have the high flow air intake and heat sheild as well as the SPT exhaust? The parts guy at the local dealer gave me the SPT brochure and that's where he quoted the 30 HP and 30 ft-lb increases for using all three products together.

Replying to: woodyboy (Jul 31, 2008 4:33 pm) I'm planning on doing a Cobb DP and the Access Port. Just found out that the "stage 2" map bumps you to 305hp/385lbs torque at the flywheel. Those are some gains that would be nice to see. -mike PS: I might be interested in your intake, although I am not a big fan of intakes.

Guys, i would really like your input on this one! I have just recently received a 2007 legacy GT, what would be the best intake brand for this car? Also what would be the best combo performance wise for the best price? Thanks, Austin

Replying to: paisan (Jul 31, 2008 4:43 pm) Sorry for the delay. For some reason replies to me are not coming to my email. I just happened to stumble across yours. My direct email is woodward-slc  comcast.net I definetly notice the low end torque loss, but I feel it come on a little stronger as the turbo spools up. I think I am going to remove the intake and go back to stock. I do not track my car (yet anyway) so I would rather have the low end. If you are interested in SPT intake and heat shield they have only been on the car about three weeks. I paid $270 for both. What would a fair price be if I pay the shipping? Also I notice a stumble in acceleration as I climb through 4000 rpm. I have not asked the dealer about it. Any ideas? |
