Re: Time to
fair enough if youve got the headers already then is should be simple enough. the subarus sound so good when the revs are high, and im not even a 'petrol head'. ive not had mine above 5.5k for any duration, but ive heard there's limiter at 8k??

It's loud but it does sound good, going through the Holmesdale tunnel on the m25 at 2am was interesting. You're right the engine does like to rev, it took a while to get my head around driving the van at higher revs. I'm not sure I'll risk 8k though!

Not using the revs all the time is the hardest thing about driving my van now; it's addictive. I'm sure I've left many surprised people behind what they thought was going to be a slow old camper...
