Benjamin M Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 How loud is the 5". that's my curiosity. i like it quiet. Loud Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk well, I'd say that it is quite loud so far. I took some dB readings after the install (sorry none before) and from 10ft directly to the rear it's 72dB at idle. 82dB at 3k RPM and up to 96dB with some throttle blipping (up to 6k or so) 90dB is 4 times as loud at 70dB - basically like a lawnmower https://www.chem.purdue.edu/chemsafety/Training/PPETrain/dblevels.htm Told ya! But I still ... for now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt A Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's a bit much, but surprisingly my wife doesn't seem to mind. She said she actually likes it. We'll see how she feels on a several hour road trip on the highway. I do intend to take some sound clips today. I think the sound actually mellowed out a bit a few hours after I installed a new map.

Moderators BarManBean Posted May 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 25, 2015 I thought the 5" nameless mufflers were incredibly loud at the worst times. Idle and WOT sounded great--highway cruising was awful. "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdemod Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I ordered just the axle back 5" muffler setup from nameless and should receive/install them in the next couple of weeks or so. I am currently all stock and will be doing a downpipe before too long as well. I haven't decided on what I want to do for a mid pipe yet but I will update as I go. I will go ahead and take video before and after each step: 1. Stock 2. Axle back only 3. DP and Axle back 4. DP Mid and axle back (whenever that happens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin M Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I have the same RSB but I had clearance issues with my Nameless CBE and I ended up having to get extended hangers to alleviate this issue. I think we've discussed this before...but I too had clearance issues with my CBE and WL RSB; KB extended exhaust hangers did the trick, until I installed my OEM hitch, which contacts the hangers and pushes up on them just enough to get some periodic contact/rattling between the RSB and Y-Pipe.

I had no clearance issues at all. how much lower does the exhaust hang now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaitanium Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 whiteline 20mm adjustable, with avo endlinks. corners much flatter in the rear now. you on stock struts? switching to prev gen outback rear struts does more than the RSB swap does. I did my SB upgrade before the struts and it really made no big noticeable difference. Once the rear struts were swapped, thats when i noticed the biggest handling gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is to upgrade them once the need arises. But, my car has all of 42k miles, so it will be a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvrick Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Question for those of you who cut out the bumper for the muffler tips, what did you use to do the cutting? I'm no modding expert and would like to use the right (or good) tool for the job. Aviation tin snips? Box cutter? Razor blade? My Outback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no modding expert and would like to use the right (or good) tool for the job. Aviation tin snips? Box cutter? Razor blade? After my Nameless exhaust melted my bumper around the tips, I used a heat gun to heat up the bumper and a box cutter to trim it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I would guess a dremel should do the job as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted May 28, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2015 I used an air saw. A dremel cutting blade will make an ugly cut on plastic in my experience, basically just melts it.

xt2005bonbon Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 In any case, I also suffer from a melted bumper and it is quite ugly. But I saw this last week in a walmart parking lot on a wrx. I think I will do something very similar on mine. Just need to figure out how... http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=209627&d=1432824925 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xt2005bonbon Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yeah. now I remember that. Although I have fairly large quad tips (Stromung). Not sure if they'll fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvrick Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I've been looking at a few things. I might try to retrofit some random ones on ebay, depending on how much cut ends up looking. Some examples. I'd probably hit anything chrome with some high temp black caliper paint. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-Steel-Exhaust-Pipe-Trim-Tailpipe-Rear-Bumper-FOR-2014-Mazda-6-ATENZA-/131254364730 http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-2007-IMPREZA-WRX-STi-EXHAUST-CARBON-FIBER-REAR-BUMPER-HEAT-SHIELD-/221782325068 http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Mitsubishi-Evolution-EVO-10-X-Carbon-Rear-Bumper-Exhaust-Heat-Shield-2pcs-/281460278697 My Outback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmagic4 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just wanted to throw a comment in here that anyone considering Nameless Performance for their CBE or other needs shouldn't hesitate. mine came in and is installed, and I couldn't be happier. the fabrication, fit and look are top notch, as is the sound. I'm still tweaking some things with the tune (got an accessport from them too, to tune after other mods i'd made), but everything is great, and their customer service has been excellent along the way.
