Installing a A-pillar gauge pod

aoisubaru · 05-31-2008, 10:10 PM

I just have a quick question. I can't find my owners manual now and I tried to search on the web, but no luck. I am planning to install some gauges soon and going to go with the pillar type. But does anyone know if there is an Airbag in the pillars in 07 STi's? Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Does your pillar say it has an airbag in it? Haha

Not sure about the 07, my 08 does... but it will tell you right on the pillar if it does.

I have the Stri gauges (egt and boost) and will also get afr wideband from innovate, Anyone has similar setup? I am getting the autometer pillar. If you have pics, I would like to see some.

The 04-07's have combo side air bags which pop out of the seats and protect your torso and head. The 08's have a torso out the seat and curtains. So to answer your question, definitely no air bag in the A-pillar.

woah did not know that one lol guessing when u put in new seats the are no more seat air bags
