tylerb2311 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Good evening, Excited to say I have finally gotten my hands on a 2006 Legacy GT. Mostly stock besides the following: Invidia catless uppipe Grimmspeed 3" downpipe Cobb accessport v3 DNA Motoring cat back exhaust (owner installed then removed did not like the sound) Also comes with an extra set of steelies with All season tires. Stock wheels currently have BFGOODRICH G-Force Sport COMP-2's. I also own a 2009 Legacy 2.5i Special Edition 5MT that I have been driving the last 4 years. Definitely an upgrade in the power department since I am used to really no power at all lol Edited April 28, 2020 by tylerb2311 Adding pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgoodhue Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) If you can afford it, keep the 2.5i for when the GT is inevitably broken down. Edited April 28, 2020 by dgoodhue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) If you can afford it, keep the 2.5i for the GT is inevitably broken down. That's why I keep the Spec B, currently driving it while fixing the wagon. Works great having two of these. LOL Been thinking about taking a picture of the wagon on four jack stands and labeling it, "Assume the Position".

SubOperator Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Welcome to club! Enjoy the GT but as said try keeping the 2.5i as well, 14 years old turbo cars are picky bunch.

Pleides Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Enjoy the GT! Definitely toss that catback in the trash. My car had that turboback from DNA and it didn't fit worth sh*t. Previous owner put it on and told me it was difficult to fit it without modification. It sounded like a Honda at high RPMs, so I replaced it with a lovely Borla unit. Spendy, but sounds great. Check all the rubber on your car when you get a chance! The rubber in the suspension just wears out way too quickly in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous owner said he has it on for like 3 days and took it off because it sounded horrible. I am guessing just loud and raspy for sure definitely not what I am looking for. I was interested in the Invidia Q300 setup.... thoughts? Deff don't want to go cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Q300 exhaust on my 5th Gen GT and really like it. That being said exhaust sounds (rasp, burbbles, tons, volume) are very subjective, I would listen to different exhaust on youtube. What one per person thinks is the best sounding Subaru exhaust might sound like crap to another person and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q300 is too loud for my tastes but it’s up to you. The Borla and Greddy exhaust systems for these cars sound really good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerb2311 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 My buddy has theInvidia Q300 setup on his 05 GT and it's loud, but sounds real nice. He also has a headers and some other things done that. I am looking for the rumble, but more of as daily driver then a performance build...

I am looking for the rumble, but more of as daily driver then a performance build... This is exactly what my wagon sounds like. Uses a catless uppipe, Invidia catted downpipe, and Borla catback. Here's one with a gutted stock downpipe from a user on here named Gunnar (can't remember his username but he's got a dope wagon called Vaderwagon somewhere on here), I'm quite partial to the Borla because it isn't super loud. It has the token rumble. The Greddy exhaust also sounds good. Similar to the Invidia Q300 but a little quieter and lower-toned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08legacyexhaust Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I have a borla s-type exhaust for the 05-08 gt for sale. Part# 140123. I sold my gt a while back and never got around to selling the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing a lot of research and the Borla setup is been my favorite so far. Looking for something for a daily/weekend driver so don't neccesarily need to go super loud Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
