SIDrive Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Factory mid pipe has a hole and one of the mufflers sounds like it has a hole - can't see it. What is the current best economical replacement. I know these cars are getting old. Plan on keeping the car since it runs so good. Would like to get Stainless. Was looking at the X-Force catback. I read some complaints about chrome peeling. I thought it is 304 SS? Do not trust the ones on eBay. Invidia Q300 and Borla are too much money for what the car is used for. Looking to spend around $600.

GearJamr Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I think the HKS is around that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORULZleggy Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Check out Nameless performance. It is about 800, I have it on my tuned Gt and I like it. save up a few more bills or eat tuna and you will be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 For $600, contact a few local exhaust shops. See what they can do for that money. My Q300 is getting louder the older it gets, it has maybe 30,000 miles on it. I think Summit Racing has a replacement OEM style mid-pipe. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

I ended up cancelling that order (back ordered and date kept moving further and further away) and getting Nameless mid-pipe and fujitsubo mufflers.

I wonder if they line up correctly with an AVO mid-pipe I have right now. Show us some pictures of the setup if you have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDeere714 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 My dumbass went with DNA. Before anyone gives me shit I got it for $150 and it was close by. Damn OEM midpipe was on the verge of falling off. It did drone a lot and had a bit of a tinny rasp to it at first but once it finally broken in it wasn't that bad. Sure it hangs a little lower than stock but it's the sound I like and when the shit mufflers finally blow out like everyone says they will i got my old nameless mufflers to put back on. Any one got sound clips of nameless 5 inch mufflers with a resonator delete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearJamr Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 There is probably one in the exhaust sound clips thread..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one got sound clips of nameless 5 inch mufflers with a resonator delete? If you’re happy with it, then who cares? There’s probably some on YouTube. I’ve got $180 in my 2018 STi mufflers, Sti mid-pipe is around $300, plus fab work. It’s not stainless but doesn’t sound bad. Shogun did it to his, it’s on YouTube search “Legacy GT STi catback” if you’re interested. Or when your mufflers blow out there’s enough axle back options out there.

I’m done dumping money in it now. Rather pay off student loans and get a down payment ready for a newish car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
