EJ stopped by the shop and mentioned that he wanted to dress up his engine bay but retain his stock air box. The polished Zero/Sports intake pipe was an excellent solution for EJ.
The Zero/Sports intake pipe is less restrictive than stock and also looks a lot better than OEM! To keep the theme consistent under the hood, we also replaced the OEM intercooler hose with a color matched silicone SAMCO unit. Unlike the stock rubber hose, the silicone hose is made for longevity.
When a downpipe is exchanged for an aftermarket unit, a common problem is the loss of the factory heatshield. The Cusco heatshield is an excellent deterrent of heatsoak for enthusiasts using top mount intercoolers.
When Andrew visited us, he already had an aftermarket down pipe installed but was experiencing bad heat soak. This resulted in a loss of engine power. Below are the pictures from the install.
The Zero/Sports High Flow Downpipe with Catalytic Converter is the choice among many hardcore Subaru enthusiasts in
Combined with the Zero/Sports World League Catback Exhaust, enthusiasts can enjoy an increase in performance without harsh exhaust noises. This exhaust also keeps the Subaru signature boxer rumble perfectly intact. While cruising, the loudness of the exhaust stays at a comfortable 70db. During acceleration, the loudness only increases to 78dB. The overall diameter of the exhaust piping is 3”. This exhaust has attained the difficult JASMA recognition as a result of Zero/Sports’ dedication to quality.
With this in mind, Charles decided that the High Flow Downpipe combined with the World League Catback was the perfect choice for himself and his family. With two young children, he wanted to ensure that they would not become uncomfortable with harsh exhaust drone entering into the cabin. The exhaust had OEM quality fitment with no modifications necessary to attain that stock “OEM” look with aftermarket performance.
To keep an eye on how his engine is performing, Charles also opted to install Defi-Link Meter BF Exhaust Temp, Boost, and Oil Pressure gauges. We thank Charles for stopping by and becoming part of the EAT Motorsports family.
