Update after logging data from this weekends drive tells me plenty. Overall I am as happy as any 2.5 ltr Subaru daily driver owner should be. New breathing and cooling mods are ordered and then re-tune soon should hopefully see some improved kw in the quest to break 150 kw atw.

The brake upgrade I did recently is just about the best mod I have ever done in a Subaru. Dixcel and ACRE get the thumbs up for me.

Overall this car is the best daily driver I have ever owned.

I rate the Lib! An awesome car that has been tastefully modified.

Update on some new mods purchased and arrived:

Hyperflow CAI

http://www.hyperflow.com.au/index.ph...d=hycai-my08ck

PSR Turbo Inlet Pipe
Cusco Water Spray Controller
Spec C 12 ltr water tank (on order)

Once the tank arrives all items will get installed and re-tuned to suit. Will also be installing the ARC Liberty BL5 Intercooler Air Guide which has been sitting around for some time. http://www.prospeedracing.com.au/pro...Air-Guide.html

I am also thinking about buying the Zero Sports Cool Action II Splitter to try and funnel more air on to the i/c.

Will report back after install and tune with results.

HI Dave - how loud are your Hitech quads? Looking to recommend some to a Mate with 07 Libbo tuned by STI. Thinking to get centre and downpipe done locally.

cheers.

I'll chip in 2c here. It is not loud at all. It puts out a nice dak dak burble at idle and as the revs rise you know it's a Subaru but it almost has a crackle in it, sort of like when you put Lukey glass packed mufflers on a V8 but obviously with the boxer note. I don't think a Policeman would ever consider it too loud.

There is a sound file Dave has somewhere but I think that might have been when it had the STi mufflers on and the larger mid section of pipe, so it's not the same as it is now.
