I painted the lights myself with VHT Nightshades... the RFL didn't hurt the performance after the tune, performed flawlessly once tuned out. it had Megan Racing coilovers, I don't care what anyone thinks about them, so STFU, they worked great for the price and didn't leak on a car that was mainly highway and city driven, no tracks, no rallying. The wheels are 5Zigen ZR520 in 18x8. Car had HKS foam filter, Grimmspeed EBCS, Invidia cat-less down-pipe, and SPT catback WRX, tuned by AWDTuning

Because I lived in Houston... Not like it's going off road.

Always cool to see a tricked out Forester.. Do yourself a favor and ditch the ricer RFL valve..The stock valve will hold over 20psi and the vehicle will run flawlessly. I can hear the car stumbling due to valve clear as day. I am a Subaru Technician for a living.. Trust me.. The blowoff valve does nothing but hurt Subaru's performance. I talk people into reinstalling their factory BPV all the time and they always thank me for it.

I agree with 2LTRBO. I have a stock BPV holding 20psi without an issue. A quick search on any Subaru forum would tell you that a BOV(VTA) is a bad idea.

Are you the dude in Austin/somewhere in Texas that was at Meld's garage day with the AWDTuning folks like 2 years ago? Just curious if this is the same FXT.

Hey man I am getting a Fozy. I like those smoky tail lights, where did you find those?

[ChargersRock13]

@2LTRBO Would there be any way to get the RFL without hurting performance?

[2LTRBO]

@sada3393 My original point was if you are running less than 20psi and want to keep the vehicle running smooth then just keep the factory valve. Sure you can buy a shiney alternative but it's not going to make the vehicle any faster. The only Subaru's that can run a Blowoff valve without some kind of adverse affect is one that has been converted to Speed Density or use a MAP sensor. Those are few and far between and are usually built to run much more than 20psi.

[2LTRBO]

@sada3393 I am talking about the stock Bypass Valve, not a blowoff valve.. Blowoff valves are all well and good for vehicles that don't use a Mass Airflow Sensor because they don't cause advere affects. On vehicles that do use a MAF, ie Subaru's, they will hurt how the vehicle runs. The Bypass valve recirculates the air back into the intake keeping it running properly. A BOV vents the excess air and messes with the fuel tuning.

@2LTRBO Really???? the stock is better then a TIAL blow off valve???

[marcusklemme]

sounds yummy

@Matty231 Then you can't take it off-road where Subaru's belong!! :P

@Matty231 Why wouldn't you lower a Foz? Best thing I ever did to mine.
