My quest to do cheap exhaust is at an end. After a failed attempt at installing the "cheap" 270 dollar DNA motoring exhaust on an N/A while it fit, It hung way too low and sounds crappy, and the baffles failed within a month. Found a replacement Midpipe on ebay for like 150 and to my surprise bolts up perfectly, Wrx exhaust flange is twisted and one is too long somehow and one mount is in a different location on each muffler, I thought doing just flanges would fix it, and thought the cheap dna catback was just placed weird.
For another cheap project Bought a alpine cda-9887 for 150, and a 1din plus pocket off ebay for 10 bucks, trying to do a modified cubby pocket install because i miss having real audio, My audio control LC2i pro just doesn't cut it. Will be trying to see if i can bondo a solution up.
