kurtis9813 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 So basically yesterday I dropped the entire exhaust system on my car to have a corroded flange cut off and a small pipe welded in its place. And to my surprise after inspecting the entire exhaust, there are small leaks every foot or so due to rot. i'm going to need all brand new parts from the headers back to the axleback. I'm already expecting parts from subaru too be riduculously expensive. Are there any aftermarket exhausts for a second gen legacy or impreza(that will fit without crazy modification) i can have pipes extened if thats all that has to be done. Really all im asking are what are my options for replacement exhaust from the headers back to the axleback? Also keeping in mind that I'm not trying to spend a crazy amount of money.

Osei Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Try Rockauto. I replaced the exhaust from the cat back on an Impreza for @$150 shipped. Look up a coupon code, which will generally save you 5%. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 yeah look up the SPT catback, theyre legacy specific.. bolt on and go.. for around that $150 price.. there was a seller on ebay that had them, although they were branded 2.5GT on the axle tip for the USDM, they were made by SPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ2.5GT Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I had the same problem. When I took off my midpipe, it came off in two pieces....not sure if that's still considered an exhaust leak at that point! the rust was pretty bad. If you want some sound, I highly suggest the speedy racer UEL headers. I wrapped those in the DEI exhaust wrap and sprayed after with the high-temp silicon spray. Everything worked well! As for the mid-pipe, I went through Partsgeek.com and got the Bosal pipe. Everything was bolt on and go. Currently, I have no muffler on and it sounds amazing! Definitely hear that subarumble! Now, I'm just waiting on the Vibrant muffler from Summit Racing. Good luck with everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 what Vibrant?... i'd get an 18" resonator put in after the midpipe, it makes for the single best n/a exhaust ive ever heard I went with the 1046 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerswimmer89 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Whatever you do, be sure to keep the cats, cuz otherwise your car will throw a CEL and it will run like dump. I had a tsudo catless midpipe on mine, with a magnaflow axleback, and it was pretty terrible with all the bogging and chugging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 did you just go 02 less or something? they make an o2 sensor spacer that accounts for the higher exhaust velocity of being catless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenva Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 You said from the headers back. I got 2 of the Magnaflow direct fit cats and they were somewhat reasonably priced. Got them from Amazon. It's been about One & 1/2 years and no codes. The rest was replaced with boring Walker stuff. It is silent though. Edit. My 2.2 Legacy is not a race car. I won't lie to myself and try to make it sound like one. RIP 96 Legacy 2.2 4EAT lost reverse @ 374,000 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
