madcatz Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 So I come in to work this morning and I run into a coworker, and the first thing he says is "is something wrong with your car? Do you need a new muffler?" FML! I love the sound, man, but now I'm going to go around asking other people what they think. Last thing I want is to sound like the Civic riceboys that we all make fun of. It shouldn't take an "initiated" person to be able to enjoy the sound. And maybe my wife is right, Legacies are too elegant and subdued for this kind of stuff. Maybe I need to get some baller rims and drop her a couple inches. And get some Japanese writing on it. Yeah, that'll do it. OR, maybe he was just focused on the fact that it was loud. you dont need rims....stockers FTW but you need Bright Takata Green Japanese Kanji down the side of the car.....just make sure the drivers side is backwards and all....gotta go full out right? -Travis Rob (rao) you're a fine gentleman, thanks I guess.

welby Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'm just gonna leave my exhaust stock. The guy that bought my Jeep TJ has an '03 WRX wagon and he picked up an Accessport, intake and aftermarket exhaust (Forget which). He wanted to show me his car and took me for a spin. It sounded OK, but was pretty loud, I can see how it would get annoying quickly, especially on the highway. Anyways, our neighbor my wife's friend was over and they were talking; when the guy left with his WRX, neighbor girl commented "What is he, 17?". Gotta admit, I laughed. I'm 38 and WRX guy's around 40 as well. IMO, if it's not a V8, it's best left quiet. Some of the ricers that run around town, I'm actually embarrassed for them when I hear their cars. More embarrassed that they don't realize it sounds like shit, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkailburn Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 anyone do this on a stock WRX yet? -Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snick Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I put three thick washer on each bolt two days ago just cause I had them lying around. Sounds surprisingly good will no significant effect on gas mileage. I was thinking about gutting the cats in the dp on my 06. Does anyone have this done with this exhaust mod? Is is significantly louder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I had gutted all 3 cats in my 06. No real difference in loudness. they aren't meant to muffler sound, and really, they don't. You will, however, notice significantly better topend power. By all means, GUT THEM!!! I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time.

snick Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I live in California and emissions is pain in the ass sometimes. Is there any way I'll be able to pass an emissions test with the cats gutted? And if I do gut the cats do I need to retune? How much is it to get retuned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 snick, welcome, but do a search on these boards. You won't pass emissions with gutted pipes so I think you're looking at buying aftermarket pipes with high flow cat converters (Cobb, Invidia, Perrin, etc). You will need to tune regardless to take advantage of having the cats gutted. There are a lot of different ways to tackle this one. You could by an AccessPort and go with a pre-loaded tune, or you could get an e-tune or even pro-tune. Or, you could go open-source for cheaper and have someone on these boards set you up with an e-tune. If anything i wrote doesn't make sense, again, search the boards, it's all been covered.

hollatchaboy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 anyone do this on a stock WRX yet? -Luke yup, my buddy's got a stock '08 and he did it... sounds great. real throatty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkailburn Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 yup, my buddy's got a stock '08 and he did it... sounds great. real throatty. any sound clips? my brother has an 05 wrx and i was thinking about doing this mod on his car without telling him are the exhausts setup the same on the 05 and 08? the closest flange to the muffler is over the axle so i was worried it would just sound like an exhaust leak. thanks for the reply, -Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nka Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 So, I just did it. Had to cut the half of the bolt with the dremel (no buffer) to remove them. I tried directly Stage II. I had 3 fears : 1) Be too loud 2) Sound wierd (really like an exhaust leak) 3) Hate my long road (since it's too loud). 1) It's not. Really a mellow sound. You can hear it at idle and low RPM, if you FLOOR it, it's not loud (seem's that almost all air go into the exhaust) and on crusing a 120kmh (~70mph), I almost don't hear it (just ok!) 2) Well, from inside, it don't sound like an exaust leak ! 3) Anwser is on 1. So, don't wait anymore, just do it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepis Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Wow, I skimmed the whole thread and I will be tired at work tomorrow. Will do this to my 2009 Legacy after the first freebie oil change at the dealer. Quick question, will this sound as good on a 2.5 as it will on an LGT?

nka Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I don't think it will sound good on N/A engine. N/A engine have a more high note tone, so that will sound more like a civic with an exaust leak. I didn't try it, just guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 it only takes 20 mins total to try it. What can it hurt? Dont like it? Go back to sock! I'm pleasantly surprised...

nka Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Took me 3 hours since I have to cut the bolt with a dremel. Would take 45 mins with a real buffer Edited June 17, 2009 by nka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
