06jax2.5se Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I see that there is a thread for intake, but nothing for exhaust. Anybody know of some exhaust systems for the 2.5 NA's? Is there systems out there or am I going to have to go custom???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockerGT Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 One member was able to bolt up the Borla catback for the LGT with little to no modifications. Other than that I think you will have to go custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc0032 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 All catbacks should bolt up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDDAD Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Just watch the exhaust size, as the ones for the GT's can be to big for the N/A engine. ...when death calls, Im good. I got caller ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05ABP2.5i Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 http://www.xcceleration.com/leg-engine.htmbought the borla headers from these folks. haven't heard anything on the exhaust yet but i will be getting one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDDAD Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 http://www.xcceleration.com/leg-engine.htm bought the borla headers from these folks. haven't heard anything on the exhaust yet but i will be getting one soon. Do you have pics of the header? Very interested on how fitment and any noticeable hp gains. ...when death calls, Im good. I got caller ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06jax2.5se Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 if you try and go 3in like on wrx's and gt's you will run into problems right??? Somebody told me what would happen but i forget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleLegacy Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 make sure the borla head isn't a 4th generation version. i've heard that the 4th gen ones were prone to cracking at a pipe-to-pipe brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05ABP2.5i Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 i am out of town right now, i will be back next weekend. i will have some pics then. as far as fitment, no issue. sorry but i dont have any #'s but a gain is noticeable. WOT is deff. better, hell the whole rpm range is better. i tried a DIY intake with the 05 Impreza intake, ended up throwing a CEL. i think that is due to the fact i cut the intake box off just before the MAF and put a K&N filter in place. i see alot of people are keeping the box and using the piping. that is my plan when i get back. as far as the 3in, i have also heard that is not the best thing, but from what it says it starts 3in after the cat and tapers to a 2.5in. i wouldnt think that would cause too many problems. i hope someone who would know a little more looks in on this thread and could shed some light on the issue. as for right now, i plan on running the borla headers, intake w/ box, xcceleration exhause and quite possibly a meth inj. from Snow Performance. Any suggestions???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickB34 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I did a little searching online and it looks like the headers are all the same from 97-06.... somebody correct me if I'm wrong, looks like you can get a much better deal than from xcceleration.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGe Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 here is my two cents. i have an axle back currently on my car right now. You would actually be quite suprised what it sounds like. And alls it is are magnaflow 14827 polished stainless steel. I took out the resonator at the mid pipe and put 2.5 all the way back. here is a couple small video clips if you want to know what it sounds like. they are not high quality but you get the general idea. it will take a couple minutes to load, so be patient. http://www.ddavisart.com/cockpit.MOV Start up... http://www.ddavisart.com/legacy006.MOV Take off shifting...... http://www.ddavisart.com/legacy007.MOV OTM.

SeattleLegacy Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 ^^^ nice clips. i wonder if keeping a resonator (stock or aftermarket) would take some of the "poppy-ness" out of the tone. i like the rumble, but it gets a little "poppy" or "tinny" when you get into the throttle.

Kostamojen Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I did a little searching online and it looks like the headers are all the same from 97-06.... somebody correct me if I'm wrong, looks like you can get a much better deal than from xcceleration.com That is not true. 06 models have equal length headers, basically an all-new design header and cat section. I really need to get a copy of the diagram so I can start posting it... Theres much confusion and poor information on RS25 and NASIOC about this as well.

ldc2335 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 i have some imco mufflers, basicly the muffler shops version of magnaflow...really just a straight thru turbo muffler for those of you wanting decent affordable sound..cost like $150 installed http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/6004/s30100901mh.th.jpg with resonator...slightly louder than stock <a href="http://media.putfile.com/25i-legacy-exhaust" target="_blank">Click here to watch "25i-legacy-exhaust"</a> with out resonator alot louder than stock but still not obnoxious. <a href="http://media.putfile.com/25i-resonator-removed" target="_blank">Click here to watch "25i-resonator-removed"</a> p.s. no thats not a turd in the second video, its a piece of mulch..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trohler Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Just keep in mind, his is an 05, with unequal lenght headers. The 06s will not sound as good (less boxer sounding) due to the equal lenght headers. 07 Impreza 2.5i Special Edition 07 Kawasaki Ninja 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I really need to get a copy of the diagram so I can start posting it.... Alright, here we go... (Note, these are impreza exhausts, however the header+cat sections are the same as legacy's) Heres an example of the 93-05 exhaust: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a383/Kostamojen/93to05exhaust.jpg Heres the 06+ equal length headers: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a383/Kostamojen/2006EXHAUST.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I want something that'll bring out the boxer sound, what should i do? will it sound like Honda's tinny can sound???

I'm not going for that... at work now and is unable to listen to the clips, but i will when i get home You have an 05 right? Then you have the unequal length header, which means it will still have that boxer sound. Borla headers as mentioned, along with a catback equal a very rumbly boxer sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Thanks for the tip, any sound clips? what kind of set up would i need if i'm going custom with magnaflow exhaust tip? ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Thanks for the tip, any sound clips? what kind of set up would i need if i'm going custom with magnaflow exhaust tip? Borla heads + the two magnaflow mufflers is all you really "need". I wouldnt go without a resonator, it can get loud with magnaflows without a resonator (sounds great with one though).

Kostamojen Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 use stock piping? You mean the y-pipe? I havent done any ressearch about if its worth keeping stock or not, but it looks like it is a decent diameter... i'd probably just keep it and just do the two axle backs + the headers.
