Hey man I love the videos and I subbed, but can you fix your mic or get a
different one? Its kind of hard to follow along with it constantly cutting
out…

Hi! do you know if it is the same way on an 04 Wrx? Thanks

So, this is not really a good place for this I know, but if I installed
headers + up pipe w/ a downpipe, will my car be damaged at all if I did not
get a tune for a month or two? Also if I did those, should I apply heat
wrap and if so, where is it applicable? Thanks so much!!!

Did my bushings earlier today and I just wanted to say thanks again for the
helpful video!

R Cruz says:

Awesome, just picked these up today, gonna do this install. Your video
looks like it will help a lot! Thanks!

tanamus13 says:

Fair enough. Thanks!

no, DP doesn’t get in the way. its the driveshaft that gets in the way.
dont bother to try and take it off, way too much work for what its worth

MrSpyKload says:

Sorry I did read the description before asking!

Yes this mod is a must have and shifting into gears feel direct and firm
because of the poly. I love TIC and kartboy mods, very inexpensive with
huge gains.

do the bushings really make a difference? I was thinking of getting em for
my 07 sti.

tanamus13 says:

How hard would it be to get the link out of the car if you aren’t doing the
shifter at the same time? Looks like you would have to remove the shifter
anyway?

know where to find one of those white plastic bushings that is around the
ball? can’t find them anywhere.. mine broke..

jjtrick23 says:

Word of advice from someone who has done this….be prepared to run into at
least one big problem. So do this on a weekend that you have all day

nukem384 says:

totally. the shifter isnt complete w/o the bushings. gives shifts much more
positive and crisp feel.

nukem384 says:

haha shouldve picked my dp video or header video!! anyway, yes you need a
tune or your engine will be all messed up. heat wrap the entire tube.
basically you just want to leave the flanges unwrapped.

nukem384 says:

for a part like that, id say just get it from subaru. not sure there would
be any aftermarket brands for something like that.

windycitizian says:

Is the install any different if you’ve already done the front shifter
bushings?

whatzhiznuts says:

Would this be any easier with the downpipe removed?

nukem384 says:

yeah you have to take the c-clip out of the cup to get the link out.
basically what i had to do. easier just to do both at once.
