Earl 1-scooby nil
Once upon a time, my subaru had a painfully annoying exhaust rattle.
So I jacked it up and cut off the heat shield Now it's all quiet again That is all |
Must be getting icy up your way these mornings matey, how are you finding her?

So much better than the bm, they're a world apart. And yeah freezing, not lost grip once :)
I'm already addicted! |

And the first was? Haha
Yeah it was the piece on the near side manifold/downpipe, chopped it from the manifold flange back, quiet as a mouse now. Well as quiet as a mouse with a flat four shoved down its throat anyway ;) |
The only part of my exhaust system that has any shielding on it are the OE headers. Goes fine - track it a lot as well.
The biggest mistake I made was to take it to a well respected Subaru specialist not a million miles from where I live. That mistake cost me about 4K and a year of total misery. Dave at API fixed me up though :thumb: |
Ouch, you wouldn't believe the amount of horror stories we hear about main dealership screw ups at my garage. And sounds like that was one big screw up for 4k :s

About 3 weeks? ;)

It wasn't a dealer, so can't comment on them.
Do most servicing and simple stuff myself. Do it right (well maybe not the first time) when it suits you. |
Ohh sorry you said specialist not dealer, don't expect f-ups from them
|
My bad - as they say.
I should have put "specialist" or so-called or something like that. I think if you are getting anything that needs the engine out, or to do with the transmission, you need to be fairly choosy. |
Yeah deffos
|
Just cut the rest of it off, was still a slight zinging and it was niggling me so I did an hours ramp time before work sorting it. Must have saved a good 2kg of weight too!
