Max Capacity

Mine still has a little popping when I rev it after it has been idling for a few seconds sitting at a stop light even with the new pipes and tips, (muffler deletes). I think it sounds nice, like a muscle car from the 60's. I enjoy having no mufflers better then the Hog-zawt system.

Here's some photo's and video's with out mufflers or deletes. I'll have to wait until the weekend to have my son drive it again while I get a video of the sound. I like the noise. I don't find it bad on the highway or around town.

Remember...it is an exhaust leak. That's what you are hearing. I fixed mine yesterday. Went and had muffler deletes made. I will post pictures when I get home tonight if it's not raining. I spent the extra bucks and had them flange the pipes instead of going cheap and just welding the pipes and tips to the Y pipe. They used the OEM rubber hangers to support the pipes and tips.

No ! It doesn't change the compression.

The louder the better. I plan to come up with a bracket to level the mufflers and drop the Y pipe a bit and get the gap bigger as soon as warm weather get here.

Well, may be just buy them beer and pizza.

It can't be very hard, my 16 y/o did mine in a few minutes back in the summer of 04. I didn't even know he was doing it.

I think back around page 75 or so, I said I have a 9/16" gap. I have thick washers. I put a sound bit in somewhere too. I'm not an Engineer, I'm a Assembly Technician that tells the Engineers they got it wrong before I assemble something they tell me to. And, yes I used to built rockets for satellites. I now build Oxygen Generators for the Space Station and Navy Sub's. The wider the gap the better.

Great job, make sure you do videos of anything else you do.

^^ what he said, sure is worth it though.

I have about a 9/16 gap. I'm thinking about making some steel straps to separate the muffler from the pipe. By raising the muffler inlet above the pipe exit. Actually, bypassing the muffler(s). Anyone else thought about that ? It's getting colder now so I'll wait until spring time to play with it more.

That's because the OEM bolts are metric.

Those flanges have been there how many years? There still about 3/8" thick. How many years or decades do you think it will take for rust to eat them away? Get over it. My rear wheel wells on my 86' Ford F150 have been rusting away for 10 plus years, and it's still fine.

Fredbeans.com like I think I said a page or so ago. Yep, here it is, http://www.fredbeansparts.com/servle...gacy-GT/Detail

^ Thanks, I stopped by my local machine shop. The guy's were impressed with the way the car sounded.

Has anybody had any problems driving the car like this in the Winter, snow and salt on the roads ? Can you see any problems ? I have about a 5/8" gap. Do most of my driving during the Winter.

http://www.fredbeansparts.com/servlet/the-1006/NGK-Subaru-Legacy-GT/Detail Is that the same plug as above ? Just ordered a set, under $40.00 shipped.

Here's mine. Two thick washers on all 4 bolts, for a 1/4" gap. I may add a 3rd washer this weekend.

I have noticed the same affect. Dash is saying 20.1 mpg for the past 60 miles. Damn it sounds to good. mendozer, do both sides. Balance of the exhaust signal. May be it doesn't matter with a Y pipe, but balance is key in a lot of things.

Did this this morning. A little WD40 or PB Blaster, I used my big a** impact gun, 14mm socket and 14mm box end wrench. I did run the bolts out a bit and then spray them again and run them in/out. Sounds nice. I used two fat washers for spacing. Put anti-seize compound on the nuts and bolts when I put it back together. Should have done this 75 pages ago

So, we're talking about removing the 2 bolts (each) where the mufflers meet the Y pipe ? Or the 2 bolts behind the last Cat ?

Here's my thread from last Sept. check post #26 for photo's. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94193

Mine squeel's I guess most of the time. Been doing it for a long time. Clutch still grabs fine.

Almost 99,000 miles. I still use the cheapest 5W30 oil I can find that meets the SAE spec. Well ok, I did pay $12.00 for a 5qt bottle of Pennzoil Highmilage the other day. There was something for $10.99 but I said, what heck, I'll buy the good stuff this time. Walmart has the best prices. I'm thinking about using there oil soon.
