Yeah.... it makes it alot easier to hear what is going on..... The car, stock, is WAY too quiet. I'm not driving a Ford Taurus, for petes sake.

You don't even know what you are talking about. I have both a Subaru and American muscle. The cost does not determine the coolness factor... and it definately doesn't determine the rice factor. Most ricey cars I see have a crap load of $$ spend on big wings and body kits. Does that make it acceptable... since it was expensive? Not in my book. Maybe you should try it before you label it "ricey". I think it sounds pretty mean and looks completely stock.

Good ones... I like the Hog-zawst mod!

My milage has been exactly the same since I did the Hog-mod exhaust. Hey... speaking of which... you want me to change the title of this thread Hogmeat? Maybe something like.... "The Hog-mod exhaust experience"

Glad to hear it.... They ordered my door panel... and I go in next Tuesday for it to be installed... but I think the shifter/console gap issue is going to be an argument. The guy is giving me a hard time since I have gauges installed in my cubby (like that has anything to do with it ).

I am still working on the second delete pipe... so right now I have both stock cans on with 2 washers on each side....

I had two guys approach me today and tell me how good the car sounded. The first was a co-worker... who said the car sounded "mean". The second was a guy with a WRX wagon at the gas station this evening. We chatted for a few minutes (we're both stg 2) and then I started the car up to leave. He gave me the big thumbs up and yelled "that sounds awesome"! I was pleased......

Hater.

Ah... .who knows what "the most restrictive thing is". Everybody just speculates on that. I have had the Hog-mod for almost a week now... with a 2 washer installation. I like it... but when I get some time I might try dropping it to 1 washer... just to see what it sounds like.

I've had no issues in the 100 or so miles I've driven.....

Hogmeat's mod..... yeah.. it'll work.

I doubled up 2 .... the total flange gap is right around 1/8", I believe.

To each their own.... I still think this is a very creative mod. My wife and I took the car across town today (~50 miles) and I think I like the sound even more the longer I listen to it. This might be a perma-mod for me!

Hey Hogmeat.... thanks for posting this up. I know alot of you guys said you tried this already... but I never saw anyone post it. Kudos to Hogger. I tried it this morning and ... I have to say that I really like the tone. I think I am going to leave it for a while. Thanks again!

He installed spacers on the bolts... between the flange faces.... thereby letting some of the pressure waves escape.... Just take the flange loose, remove the gasket... re-install the bolts.. while inserting a washer on each one (between the flanges)..... NOT BAD, Hogger! What thickness washers/spacers did you use?

Well... went to the dealership yesterday and got some story about how the interior parts are only covered for 1 year or 12,000 miles. So... I went out to the car and called 1-800-Subaru3 and talked to a customer service representitive. They called the dealership and informed them that the warranty was, indeed, 3 year - 36K mile warranty ... even on the interior parts. So... they are ordering me a door panel... but the guy is giving me some grief since I have gauges installed in my cubby. I told him that the cubby is completely seperate from the shifter plate/console... and that I thought it was BS to try and deny the repair. He said that they would take it apart when I came back in next week to see what they can do about it..... I really hate dealing with stealerships.......

Or mine.... But it is too loud and drony (is that a word?)

Depends if you're going to sell a set or two... vs. selling a bunch....

hogger... if you're gonna sell these.... time for vendor status?

Silver LGT sedan w/ spoiler heading N bound (morning) and S. bound (afternoon) on US 23 just south of Columbus. I saw you wave... I was in the RBP heading the opposite way!

I am going to take mine in tomorrow after work for them to take a look at it. I have had this console gap since the car was new. Hopefully ... they can just order me a new part and new surround and it will be fixed.... I also have a problem with the passenger side rear door panel..... the fabric keeps folding up over the arm rest....

Thread stuck.

Stickied.....

Nice post!

Wow... nice write up, Boxer..... not sure how I missed this one originally.
