This only happens to me if I'm stuck in stop and go for a while and everything is heat soaked. I don't have any movement of my bar like yours. Maybe I should try dot 4 instead of 3?
@@ramduch7413 Once everything is bolted up, it isn't a tight fit. It slips out a little and I fitted the clamp over the little gap. Perhaps if you use the wrap that would seal it up a little better.
Same. Mine never punched through the fire wall but my welds on the pedal assembly cracked. I found that if you let it go too long the clutch starts to not fully disengage and you scorch the flywheel. I replaced everything clutch related to start with a clean slate and bought the rallytek brace to prevent future failure.
This beats the hell out of trying to press those out! Might have to try that on my 02 Legacy GT. I see a bit of cracking on them but they aren't completely separted yet.
Yeah the cats are definitely what's causing it, same thing happened to me and I thought I blew my turbo or something lol. Replaced the downpipe with a Grimmspeed catless dp and now it's running perfect, after a protune of course.
I am chasing the same problem on a 09 wrx as well. Repaired the spot welds. Still had firewall flex by the clutch master cylinder so I ordered the brace. Seeing your issue now I'm thinking pedal assembly is next inline for me. Did you get it installed, and did it fix the squeak?
Yeah, that did the trick. No squeak or pedal issues anymore. Hopefully that may fix your issue. It is very frustrating until you figure out the problem.
I have a 09 wrx and just did the humble rumble kit to repair the broken spot welds and am getting the same clutch master cylinder flex now. I ordered the same brace as you installed and am disappointed that I still have some squeaking after install. Have you tried anything else to remedy the squeaky or had any other issues after instal?
This whole firewall thing is so hit or miss. I have not done the humble rumble kit but I did do a clutch master cylinder brace. I also did a brake master cylinder brace as well. My squeak is not high volume by any means
Not in this case, that wasn't the main factor. That was replaced which had some wear. The reason it was stinking was the pedal assembly split on the rod.
@@JesusJimenez-wi2ih I only spaced it to try and no throw a code. It is tuned now, so it isnt an issue. There are a lot of options out there from Ebay to any name brand you like for 02 spacers.
@@JesusJimenez-wi2ih Got it, I would get one to be safe. That way the the electrical isnt stretched if it is a tight fit. I dont recall exactly on the Tomei. I installed this and two obx downpipes at the same time on my wrxes.
Had a question about one of your older videos. Was wondering where you got the tomei catless downpipe for your Subaru. I ordered one but it didn’t fit I already have the tomei catback.
I dont recall, but fitment should be spot on. If is is new, it should be under warranty. There is alot of adjustability with it being two pieces and a slide fit.
Alot of patience is needed because you will be laying under the dash struggling. I had to disconnect a few electrical harnesses to clear the pedal lassembly out.
