Recommended Posts

Posted
Hey there. I just have a couple questions i have a subaru legacy 2.5L H4 DOHC 16V TURBO and would like to know 1st what the performance difference is between getting a full exhaust sytem compared to a cat-back sytem? And 2nd whats the best aftermarket exhaust to get for this car? I live in california now but the car will be actually in tennesse. I'm already looking into a cold air intake and possibly a rechip or dyno or diablo tune? I would really like your opinions since i have never worked on a subaru before.

A full exhaust includes a downpipe. Catback is a midpipe, y-pipe, and mufflers. Just a full exhaust is not enough. You will need a tune. If you do not tune the car, you risk overboost conditions and possible damage to engine due to the lack of a tune.

Stock is pretty good. If you have to get a new exhaust, it will be up to your personal taste.

No need. The factory airbox is very efficient and is not a restriction until 350+ whp.

 

rechip

No need. On the 05-06 cars, a $15 VAG-com cable and an e-tune ($150ish) with RomRaider is all you need.

 

 

dyno or diablo tune?

Yes (dyno tune), but you can get a open source e-tune where you get a file from a tuner, flash it to the factory ECU, do some pulls, datalog and send to the tuner, and repeat until the tune is complete.
