Project84 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Well, I live in KY and they just did away with the Emissions Check around my area. I was under the car the other day and realized how restrictive the exhaust is on these cars... what would the outcome be if I cleared out the exhaust and ran straight pipes? besides the obvious check engine light because of the 02's... anyone have experience here? I'd most likely run true duals if there is room under there for some 2 1/2". what if I just keep the stock exhaust except for removing the cats and putting in straight pipes? performance gains? mpg changes? sound changed... anyone got clips??

Garandman Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Along with being illegal and loud as hell, you'd gain very little in performance, if anything. Good car to drive, and capable in rain and snow, but you have to spend a lot of money to gain much straight line performance. Do today's kids a favor and leave the cats on. Buy new speakers and save your money for replacing the head gaskets..... Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project84 Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 cats are for hippies you damn hippie!! just kidding, I was halfway serious about this post, I wouldn't open up the exhaust unless I had a good reason to, and 165 hp at the crank isn't much incentive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cman41886 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 i have to agree with VVG, the exhaust on my 97 outback wagon is straight enough, and loud enough with a damn K&N air filter. YOU WILL, HOWEVER replace the head gaskets sooner or later (probably sooner) mine went wen the car overheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
