GhiaAddict Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Or you could order a full bolt on set up from La Chute Performance for $1500 Cdn. Made for our H6 Legacys http://www.lachuteperformance.com/en/products/lachute-performance-catback-2010-2014-legacy-h6 Yes but that exhaust still doesn't address the Y-pipe and cats for that kind of money. For that buy a new Invidia and just have the flange welded to mate to 3.6R. Still have $300-400 in your pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a mod I spend a lot of time perusing the 4th Gen forum. There are so many young noobs over there that don't understand that the wisdom of those that came before them is here already and they don't research, read, and try to understand. They think they are the first to inquire or have an issue. They are helpless. You sir, like most of us 5th genners, have more than a clue and are an asset to our corner of the forum.

Timothy.B Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Okay, I think I got this straight. Buy a WRX catback, Raptor headers. Then have it custom fabricated from the headers with two hi-flo cats (because the Raptors will melt them like the fires of Mount Doom) into a Y-Pipe with a flange. Which then connects to the extension of the cat-back and the extension would basically be a ultra quiet resonator. Correct?

Raptor Headers $400 shipped Vibrant OBD1 Ceramic Catalytic 3" $100 x 2 = $200 Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator 3" $112 Tsudo SS WRX Catback 191679859804 $449 shipped So right there you have roughly $1200 Have a reputable welder do all the needed welding and make the Y-pipe. Maybe $300 for that, but I'm not sure. This is all an estimate so once I actually get around to doing this, I will document my whole process.

Unsp0kn Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 That's what I was kind of thinking. That custom fab is cheaper. I've never had one done before. How much did they do for $600? Mid pipe to the mufflers with a resonator in the stock-ish location. If you aren't doing headers or the collector then building a catback for a 3.6R shouldn't cost much more, if any. Full header-back with a WRX pre-fabbed catback that needs customizing, that will be a lot more work and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhiaAddict Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I agree with Unspoken... I will be keeping cost down because I will fabricate everything beforehand. I intend to drop complete factory exhaust and get all the correct measurements. So basically I will be taking my new custom setup to a welder and just have him weld no fabrication. Welding isn't too expensive until fabrication comes into cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy.B Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I was looking through Fredrik's build thread. I'm curious how well the J-Pipe he used helped with the droning that most people mention with the 3.6R's: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4667783&postcount=25 Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy.B Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yeah, that's what I was reading. I wish I had some real world comparison, lol. The drone/hum seems to be problematic around the 2k range and seems it'd be a good way to cancel it out. Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihazapear Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I have 3" pipe replacing my resonator and 2.5" replacing my mufflers. Practically straight piped apart from the cats... https://instagram.com/p/BBrCVWBwHnk https://instagram.com/p/BBtBf9HwHha I have pretty much the same thing on my 2011 2.5i the cold starts are pretty damn loud!

Aces36 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 5" Nameless axle back. It has a nice smooth low frequency sound. From idle to around 1900 rpm with a light foot around town its slightly noticeable inside the car. From 2000 to 3000 rpm on the highway under load, it still has that low frequency growl but it gets loud inside the car. I wouldn't call it drone, just sweet music from the tailpipes. You definitely need to turn the radio up at this point. Quiet again from 3000 to 4000 rpm then it screams again above 4000 rpm. It almost sound like a detuned Porsche GT3 if you have ever heard one. I have no idea what it sounds like outside the car but people do turn to look. http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp217/sts-v/285BA414-F7AC-47AA-9031-96ADD68725EC_zpszku518o8.jpg Here is a link to a short Photobucket video taken on my iPad. I don't know how embed the actual video here. Click on the pic and it will take you to Photobucket. Play it loud with the bass turned up a little. http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp217/sts-v/th_Exhaust_zpshe2igvvi.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy.B Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Sounds good! They look good too. I've been contemplating a lot about these but fear they'll drone too much. Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces36 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I would have to say if you are sensitive to loud noise for extended periods of time like a long highway trip, stay away from the Nameless. They do definately make thier presence known. I have been around loud cars my whole life so i have no problem with the noise. From what i have read, the Nameless is one of the loudest exhaust's out there for the 3.6. I still need to ride behind my car while someone else drives it to see what it sounds like outside the car.

Slowbaroo Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Okay so I have a 2013 2.5i and this is the info I THINK I've gathered from this thread: - LGT (and 3.6r?) Y pipe and back should be a direct fit - Hanger is needed to be welded onto my passenger side Exhaust that can fit: - Q300 - N1 - Nameless axlebacks? Is there a place to buy the Y pipe only?

Picky1 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Actually the 3.6 mid-pipe is slightly longer and would need to be modified to work with a 2.5i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2Fiver Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 You might want to make sure theres a hanger there too for the other muffler. From what I can see in pics there's no second popout for single exit cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
