Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone with good knowledge of JDM VAB STIs or access to Subaru EPC can help. My cousin has what appears to be an early Japanese WRX STI, which his father has given him.

Hiya, First post! I have very little experience with catalytic converters but our Legacy 3.0 needs hers either cleaned or replaced before next year, does anyone know where I can find some that aren't like, £800 each? 😢 If there's an alternative or anything either you can let me know about that'd be great. I apologise my knowledge is very basic, but I'm eager to learn :)

I have a delamination issue and I want to replace the system. Ideally I want something like KENWOOD I'm having an issue with installers saying theres no harness available and that i will lose all the steering wheel controls, cameras and car info. Surely there must be a way!? Anyone in a 2018 /19 replaced the system please? To replace from Subaru was £2-3.5k!! I also only have 9 days to make the claim through warranty!

Have recently bought a 2022 Outback Field and delighted with the car. Looking at the US forums their seems to be a distrust almost amounting to a paranoia of the CVT system.Have many of the UK owners had problems with their CVT and are they repairable or does it require a new unit. At what mileage do you change the fluid. Thanks.

I think this may be one for the more knowledgable Subaru members on this forum ?

it can be a blocked cat but equally it can also be an air leak as the two oxygen sensors compare gases going in and coming out - now it could also be that one of the sensors is dirty and is not reading properly or there is a slight exhaust leak that is causing the off-balance of the readings

Have a look at IceBoxAuto as they build bespoke systems to fit your car and they are offering a discount to club members at the moment

Thanks for replying! We were getting a check engine warning and purchased the appropriate OBD scanner to see whats up, its telling us its "Catalyst System Efficiency below threshold bank 1" which through our research implies we need to replace or clean the Catalytic converter? :)
