fantasyxiv Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hi there, I was just wondering in terms of the tuning side is there much power difference between a full 3" turbo back exhaust system Vs the install of a 3" dump pipe with high flow cat mated to the stock exhaust system? Reason being I'm asking I can get a 3" dump pipe with high flow cat made out of stainless steel grade 304/mandrel bent for less then the recommended retail price of a mate who's selling his brand new, unused still in box. Atm with fitment and tuning from my tuner I'm looking at about under $1000 Aud purchased, fitted and tuned. I would love a full TBE system but all the shops here are quoting me around $2000 Aud some with fitment/others with out. That's for stainless steel, mandrel bent systems. The cheapest pre-made bolt on system (304 stainless steel, mandrel bent) which use to be $1250 supplied over the past two years has now gone up to about $1800 Aud just supplied. Now I'm kind of kicking myself that I should've sorted this out a couple years ago..... Any advice/information will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 There is no reason to go with a full TBE, the net gain in power over a DP with stock CBE is minimal. What brand is the DP that your friend is selling? I'm not sure I would go with a custom fabbed DP and expect it to work as it should, I would probably stick with tried and true if the one your friend has is AVO or Invidia, etc. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Too much flow in the exhaust can be a bad thing too! #overboost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below are links for the systems/ parts. Update: One shop got back to me with a Invidia branded 3" dump and cat for $900Aud supplied. https://www.bestmufflers.com/bshop/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=12&products_id=6756 http://www.xforce.com.au/bolt-on-systems-for/subaru-liberty-gt-2010-to-/cid-1063040026 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I know Fahr_side has them custom made. Not sure by who, but he said he has had great luck with them. His are very similar to Invidia's design from what I understand. May be worth shooting him a PM My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
