I feel great! Sort of... Well... my car feels great
The silver I got from the member here has been fixed (somewhat). I got the rear diff fixed, and PS leaking stuff taken care of on Friday at the tranny shop. I took the car out for a spin and it seems like there is no power in the car what so ever and the car is as loud as it can be.
I took it to our muffler shop. Put the car on the lift and guess what I saw... From the headers, there were 2 pipes to the cats (original setup). Once it left the cats this is why it was so darn loud. Once it went from the cats, it went into a X pipe and 2 straight pipes came out of it to the tips at the end. No muffler, no resonater nothing. I was going to get the same setup as a lot of you guys have (magnaflow) but I can not get anyone in town with the muffler/resonaters in stock. I told the guys at the shop that from the back of the cats, they have free reign and they can do what they want. They kept the X, and rerun 2 pipes and went into dual in, dual out muffler. That's when I left. They told me they might have to put 2 more resonators on each side and 2 more after that to quiet it down. :D :D I got back tonight. I have not seen the underside of the car yet. I was told the car has 60k mile new engine. All I can say is this. I have only sat in a car like this once. If I recall, it was a 40k 96 SVX that Stan Burg owns. This is the 2nd quietest SVX ever (apart from the ABS shaking -- needs to be fixed) I am happy. Monday, it'll go in for the ABS and on once that is fixed... dacah and bodyshop for new paint. :D |
Good luck on the project. It sounds like you have a good one for fixing up. Hope all works out for you.
PM me about the stereo cage doors. :) |
I guess that means that mine is not the lowest mileage SVX anymore at 47k. :rolleyes:
But then again I never really though it can be the lowest milage one on the forum for that long. :D |
I could be wrong about the milage on Stan's car. All I know was that every single SVX I've been inside have some form of noise. 4 svxes out of 5 that I've sold had the resonator removed. The most quiet car I have is my Passat and I think now my silver is going to be going neck to neck on the quiet scale. I can not even hear the engine noise unless I roll down the windows.
Damn that ABS light. I think something is wrong with that though. The light shows up once in a while and something seems to be clunking. I thought it was my front diff but it's not that. I have full power in all my gears both forward and back. |
Next time the ABS light comes on, get the code. Perhaps a sensor or tone wheel is broken.

Another Liquid silver in the hands of an enthusiast. I love the thought. :)

I guess that's why they lost their Subaru liscence. |
They probably got their ticket pulled because they are not selling enough new Subarus.
As for my car, I found out what's wrong with it. I need a rear pass side wheel speed sensor. I wonder how much they run... |
