Nice job! 👍 Just purchased a 2022 Green Onyx xt, and now cruising the teh interwebs for modification ideas. Stock (but a lil) modified is where I’d like. 🙌🏼
@@jaggerh1 nice! I love the green! Leave the exhaust alone, opening it up loses low end TQ. The turbo is small, so it needs a little back pressure to build boost.
Love your mods man, that is one sweet Outback, beautiful color too! BTW, I've been running K&N air filters in all my cars for the last 30 years too and NEVER a problem.
I have the 2022 xt onyx same color and did chrome delete around the windows, mirror and the chrome around the front and rear emblems. Getting all that chrome out of the way made a big difference. Also put Nameless axleback with 5" muffler and Nameless strut tower bar. I went with Perrin 20mm spacers.
That’s super cool. I was always afraid that the door trim wouldn’t place right, but I know they look great. A K&N drop in filter helps a bit with mpg and throttle response. A good addition to the axle back. 👍
Thank you!!! Go with a wilderness 100%. More features for off-road and looks great. Unless you get a super deal with an onyx. But wilderness are bad a**
Love what you did, I have two quick questions. What did this do to your approach and departure angles with the 2 inch lift? With the muffler delete how do you pass inspection?
Thank you. All angles increased and the ride stayed smooth as stock height. In Ga, inspections don’t care if you have a muffler or not, they look for the catalytic converter. Regardless, the mufflers are bolt on and are easily replaced. I noticed low end power decrease with the open muffler delete, so I put the OEM back. These turbos aren’t super powerful so opening up the exhaust doesn’t help them as they would a WRX, etc. 👍
@@eziocomparini7068 Ahhh thank you for tat info! Reason I asked is I had a Forester XT that I put on the STI exhaust but I also had it with Cob stage 1.5. At stage 1 it was quicker but a simple addition of the STI stock exhaust and I noticed a difference. Too bad Cob does not offer anything anymore for the Outback/Forester. Interesting question is can we use the WRX curve instead?
@@Jynximotivation1 warranty on the suspension only if that’s what you’ll be doing, personally, I’d wait three years and let it naturally break in as well as be on stand by for any recalls. Just my opinion..
How is the gas mileage with the turbo? I know what Subaru says it will get, but how is it in actuality (before the new tires)? With current gas prices, I might choose the 2023 Outback Onyx with the 2.5 liter engine.
Oh sorry. 19/26 it’s about accurate. I don’t know about the difference with the 2023 but I do know the 2.5L is way better in gas and you don’t need to use premium.
@@eziocomparini7068 Thanks for that information! I've read that some people are realizing much lower mpg than advertised with the Onyx XT. And are you saying that with the Onyx XT that premium fuel is recommended? This is the first time I've heard that! Although I love the looks of the Onyx, I also love the Forester Sport, which is supposed to get 33 mpg. I asked a random lady in a parking lot what she realistically gets mpg-wise, and she said it's supposed to get 33 mpg on the highway but she often gets up to 38 mpg. With current gas prices, it just doesn't make sense to get a turbo engine. I appreciate you taking the time to read my comments and to respond to them. Thanks for your videos!
@@briang813 absolutely. Go with the Forester Sport. I love that trim. No need for a turbo in these. I had the 2.5 and the turbo. Yes the power is fun, but when do you really need it? I would be just fine with the 2.5. Less stuff to break as well.
Was curious about that myself. I have a 2022 special order Outback Wilderness coming and wanted to raise it another inch or two. I heard that anything over 1" can mess with the Eyesight system. What do they exactly mean by "mess" well, that is certainly up for debate. I'm going to contact Subaru and find out.
@@eziocomparini7068 You sure about that? A muffler delete shouldn't do anything to power whatsoever. Nameless even guarantees no loss of power or performance.
@@mikearmistead7914 believe me! I didn’t want to believe it as I loved the sound. After 500 miles to allow ecu to reset, car felt sluggish. I raced from zero with another XT and got blown away. Then hit 40mph roll and again. So these pulls confirmed the power loss. The OEM exhaust it’s perfect for the little turbo. Any less back pressure and it doesn’t spool as strong.
@@eziocomparini7068 But it's just a muffler delete. There really shouldn't be any pressure change unless they were installed incorrectly. If you're using the proper gaskets and confirmed there were no leaks, I would doubt the muffler delete is the problem.
@@mikearmistead7914 they were installed right. I’ve done many in my older wrx’s and 2 STi I’ve had. Them too suffer with say 3” exhaust and a stock turbo or tune. I found out that 2.5” with stock tune was a perfect diameter. It def loss low end on the Outback. At full throttle there was no loss, driving around town, absolutely.
Do you still have the Outback? Are you still happy with the lift? I have the exact same car (2021 Abyss Blue Pearl Onyx XT) and have been thinking about the Iron Man 4x4 lift kit.
Ive got a 2020 onyx xt. I have been looking into doing a 2" lift but after reading some forums, read that some people experience vibrations which has me sort of reconsidering. have you experienced this on your 2021 or 2015? Love the look! You even have me reconsidering keeping the stock wheels and saving $1300!
Hey there. The older outback’s 2015’ish did have a slight vibration at low speed. The new ones do not vibrate at all, drives like stock. Wheels? Keep the stockers as they are light. These engines aren’t super powerful like a V8 truck so rotational weight is key and I think it looks good. Go for it.
Technically if there was a suspension issue, dealers could blame the lift, even if it had nothing to do with it. I’ve found with Jeep’s and subarus, it’s not the issue. They build their cars for off road and will work with the customer. Companies like Readylift will engineer a product well enough before they sell it so it won’t cause issues. I’ve had my mods a year now and 10,000 miles with no issue.
The dealer would have to prove your modification caused the problem. They could try to deny a claim, but you could probably win that battle. The only scenario you might not win is if a CV axle blows out. That's a known stress point when you lift. Cost of doing business sometimes if you decide to lift a Subaru. Just FYI, "voiding a warranty" isn't really a thing. For example, if you do a bunch of engine mods and your engine blows up, they may have grounds to deny the claim. But if you do only suspension mods and your engine blows up...then they still have to replace your engine under warranty.
I just bought this same color in a 2020 model. My first priority will be the 2” lift. Can’t wait to get some lift on it. Where did you get the fog light covers and taillight covers?
How is the road noise with the tires compared to stock? The stance looks good with the suspension, tires, and spacer set up. How do you like the Star Tex upholstery?
Hi, the tire noise it’s evident between 30-50mph. It’s not annoying, but it’s there. I like it. Upholstery is nice, easy to clean and looks good. Thank you for the compliment.
I traded it. I miss it. It had a slight knocking sound from the front end and dealerships wanted to blame my lift. That’s why I sold it. Mind you two weeks after I sold it, there was a ABS pump recall that was making the noise, not the suspension. I miss the hell out of that truck.
@@eziocomparini7068 man, that was a fine truck. I have a 2020 TB and absolutely love it. Bought it a year ago and prices now on them are ridiculous. Im looking at lifts now and like how you recommended the RC lift for it, so may consider that. Please get another TB and make more videos, lol!
I have a 2022 outback wilderness. I'm wondering if I can put wheel spacers on it. As of now, they don't make wheel spacers for the 2022. So I'm curious if I can buy the wheel spacers from the 2021 outback. Thoughts?
Absolutely! They will fit right on. I think the wilderness, all it needs are spacers. I’d do 25mm. Just get hubcentric spacers. Send me a pic when you do. My Instagram is Ezio_comparini. Nice ride!!!
If the dealership can point out and determine the lift kit caused an issue, then no, will not be covered under warranty. But this would be for suspension components. Companies like Readylift do their research and build their kits accordingly. Everything else , warranty will cover.
I got them on eBay 1.5” I think. Just get hubcentric spacers. In my 2015 I had the same ones from eBay and no issues at all. I put 60,000 miles on them.
eBay none branded ones. They are all the same and built with the same material for the most part. Just buy hub centric spacers. My old outback had them on for 65,000 miles and zero issues.
Wheels and rims are the same thing. Tires are the rubber part. So yes, the wheels or rims are OEM, the tires are different 235/60-18 Atturo Trailblade XT. Make sense? Rim is just another name for a wheel.

Did you have to recalibrate the Eyesight to accommodate the bigger size tire and the lift? Loving my Outdoor (Onyx) XT
Nope, no need. Even the headlights are ok. Readylift did good with this lift kit.

The cv joints is my main concern with a lift and heavier tyres. But I like the look and clearance you have.
Just do it. Enjoy it. The CV joints may go bad at 120,000 miles instead of 150,000 miles. I would do it if I was you.
