Wink Old member, returning!

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I used to drive a Burgundy stage 2.5 07 SS w/ the g85 package, and sold it for a series of Subarus.. lots of fun but also lots of money!! After having 4 WRXs, i decided to take a break and save some money. I went out and bought a 2015 fully loaded Sentra SL to daily for work and misc bullshitting.. good on gas, comfy and well priced! I needed a toy so i decided to look for a LNF balt. Long story short, found one, 08' SS, Red w/ K&N Typhoon intake, coil overs, and some sort of one off exhaust shop fabbed garbage exhaust. The car is immaculate and runs very well. just turned 107k miles and scored it for 6 grand!! . Anybody have any tips on these LNFs? I know all about the LSJ but that was a totally different set up. Thanks!

-ben
will have pics tomorrow.

I too came from a rex to the balt (LSJ though). I loved my Subaru, but at 100k I already had to go into the center diff and replace the bearings. It was a bit of a maintenance ***** also.

Welcome back.

Find out how good the tune is on it. With the K&N and a potentially crap exhaust system you may want to get a reading on hos steady your LTFT and other indicators are. The K&N Typhoon has different airflow characteristics than the stock air box.

Unsure of any tune. Recommendations? Just going to throw a Hahn or ZZP cat back on there and some decent charge pipes, thinking of just sending ecu to ZZP? Thoughts? I know with subaru we had the Cobb OTS maps that would get us by in most cases, unsure if anybody ever came out with anything liek this for the balts. Thanks
