in the sound file are we talking about the deep thrumming thats constant throughout
cause i thaught that was the flat 4 burble from the unequal length headers.or is it the slight clacky tappy sound that u hear just when its being revved ....i think this needs explaining in more detail so people dont worry needlessly....what say ye?:}

As some of you may know I have contacted Subaru directly with my concerns.
Here is the reply.
My car is a MY97 UK turbo and is out of warranty. The noise does go away when warm.
I hope this helps everyone else with concerns.
Here is the reply.
I have contacted our Technical department for more information regarging "piston slap". Whilst it was acknowledged as a concern and some vehicles received attention during their warranty period if the problem remained at all engine temperatures, it was never considered to be a manufacturing defect and the problem was purely a noise which disappeared when the engine became warm. I have also been advised that we are not aware of any instance of piston slap deteriorating into other, more serious problems.
I hope this information is of asssistance to you.
