Looks like great work Jeff.
I was interested by the V-band flanges...great idea. Also nice was the idea of making your tailpipe or midpipe flanges match with the OEM, allowing more individual choice in exhaust system setup. |

That is the idea, more choices for everyone. Also the V-band is a cool thing, and our solution to this normally very expensive connection is very good. The price our systems(current ones) isn't going to change when this occurs, and the 2008 WRX will come with them.

good info Jeff!
Has anyone tried to put the legacy SPT intake on it yet? I had the parts guy at my dealer xref the PN for the 08 stock parts with the legacy stock parts, the numbers aren't the same, but I'm still curious! |

I was digging in my trunk earlier, the sedans don't have the charcoal canister inside, I can take pics for you, if you like, but I guess that's another difference! |

In the Hatch, they are all under the steel flooring in the trunk. So its not exposed with out pulling those parts off. I didn't take apart our sedan too far, but it has the same steel cover. It all should be there??? I will take a look later today.

ahh, I didn't pull out any steel covers, but I have had to get to the spare, and didn't see anything that looked like the shot from the hatch.

turbo should be a vf40, when i bought mine its identical to a legacys gt motor, looks like they just went legacy to wrx. i just need to figure out how to turn the boost up to the 13 psi the legacy gets, then ill have the 250hp as the legacy has. any one have stock dyno numbers on these cars.

According to a Perrin online sales rep, one other thing that the 2008 WRX does NOT share with the LGT is that the '08 WRX has a NON-catted uppipe like the '06-'07's did. Just thought I'd share that here.

TRUE! No cat. BUT you can legally replace the OEM catless Up-pipe with a PERRIN version and it works to make more power! We have done it here on our shop cars. There is improvement across the RPM band in both torque and HP. Jeff has some dyno results some place to share here I am sure as well. I believe the gains were 7 trq and 10 HP.
If I can help any clients, just let me know! [email protected] Last edited by PERRIN; 11-21-2007 at 12:49 PM. |

Get that dyno sheet and make a thread about it. I guarantee there are a lot of people that will be interested in finding this out. |

The mechanical o2 sensor fix is just 2 spark plug anti foulers screwed together with one drilled open a bit to fit the o2 sensor in it. As such it doesnt matter what year/make/engine you use. As for the downpipe, until there is engine management out, you dont want to do a downpipe or you risk blowing the motor. Im not being overdramatic there. |

if it had a vf-39 it might be a problem but with a td04 it won't |

i just picked up a 08 blue WRX sedan.....i was looking on ebay at the perring legacy GT mufflers, not the cat back but just the mufflers, they look like they will bolt right up to the 08's dual exhaust.

Traded in my 06' for an 08' sedan. So far so good, feels a little sluggish around top end but it definetly spools faster. The clutch will take some getting used to, i stalled it twice while test driving it. The release point is so much lower than the 06'. Does anyone know what the black plastic latch looking things on the exterior of the car between the doors and roof are?
