Back in August, my wife bought me a Prodrive Axle back (oval tip) from a Subaru dealer on the east coast. I used it for a thousand miles or so but just did not like the sound so I pulled it off and was going to sell it. I later found that Prodrive has said that they only recommend the re-designed round tip axle back for the USDM STi because the oval tip design just did not sound right.

I mentioned this to Chris when I was picking up some other parts and he offered to contact Prodrive and see what he could do for me. I got a call about a week later telling me that Prodrive had sent a new rond tip axle back to Maita and that they had authorized an even exchange for the used oval tip based on the condition that the muffler was in (Pix of my muffler were sent to Prodrive).

Chris went over and above on this and really helped me out, and the round tip muffler sounds much better. With the oval tip at WOT you would only hear a rushing air sound and no exhaust note, that is not the case with the round tip muffler.

Maita is also selling new cars with Prodrive extras - they had an 06 wagon when I was there that looked awesome. I took some pix bue because I was an idiot and forgot to adjust the ISO settings from the basketball game I had just shot none of them came out...

 

That is seriously above and beyond, nice! Can't wait to hear it

 

Chris J. is tha man!
i got my bike rack and snowboard mounts from him right after i got my OBS...
he hooked it up...even ordered new keys from the rack place for the snowboard mounts...
i just went on saturday to finally pick up the keys, since its all the way down on arden, and i never get down to sac area these days.

chris jones is a great guy! super freindly and offered to take care of me if i ever needed anything in the future...

 

Sounds like a great guy. Maybe I'll buy my next Subby from him.

 

You are going to buy your next Subaru one part at a time?

That sounds expensive!

 

I'm hoping he'll give me a deal.

 

Chris still has his dealer license. That means he can still make a deal on a new car. I don't think he can sell used cars though, but you can ask.

 

Is Chris on the forums?

 

yep...i found my rack in the Nor Cal Classifieds...

his user name is Chris Jones

pretty simple.

 

I had a really cool talk with him not so long ago, SUPER helpful on trying to find someone to fix my paint, really honest....though I got my car at Autowest...they had a white sedan....Autowest had the black one...oh well

 

As a member, yes. But he is not a vendor nor does he represent Maita on these forums.

 

Yeah chris coo. I always go to maita subaru and just kick it with him in parts while i wait for my car. Hes a good guy and will get u what u need.

 

Chris hooked me up with the rear diffuser I got awhile back. I buy all my OEM stuff from him now

 

woot for Maita. They have taken care of me in the past.

 

Thanks for all the LOVE LADIES!
