beatadrum Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I just got an 07 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limitied, not the GT. I am very new to Subaru's and modding in general and dont plan to do much with my car. I was wondering if the same exhaust's that fit the GT's will fit my car? Also I want an exhaust that will add horsepower obviously, but isn't huge (I'm thinking 3"). What kind of horsepower will an exhuast add to my car as well?? Thanks to whoever can help!!! ....any online websites to buy things for my car?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacychick Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I've heard people say that 3" is too large for the NA cars, and it could actually cause a loss in HP. I don't think you would get enough of a hp gain to buy a full catback. You should just buy a pair of shiny mufflers for a little more bling and more sound.

beatadrum Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 thanks....now I'm sad....lol oh well well what size would you suggest?? and which ones sound the best??.....man that blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJack Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I just installed the ebay exhaust. $430 shipped. Right now i have the full cat back on and im starting to think its too loud. I might try putting the stock mid pipe with resonator back on and keep the mufflers. IF this works well it still far cheaper than buying anyon elses mufflers alone.

legacychick Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 That doesn't mean you can't buy a cat-back. I know there is a guy around here with a 2.5i that installed the megan racing cat-back. It's 3", and it fits and sounds nice. I was just suggesting something that would save a little $. I would look around in the Naturally Aspirated Powertrain section and see what they've done mod wise.

LDS06LEGACY Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 i think for us n/a the best bet is the borla exhaust i believe it has 2-1/2 pipes, but i was thinking of the megan exhaust because i love the dual tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJack Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have the ebay exhaust. $430 shipped. I had the whole cat-back on my N/A It sounds great but i found that it resonated thru the car really bad at low rpm. So today i took out he mid and Y and replaced it with just the Mufflers. Looks good, has a little rumble and still costs far less than just mufflers from other makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJack Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 After having a cat back on my N/A. I have to say just go with the mufflers. I dont think there will be much power gain. That or have smaller pipes made up. I am very happy with just the mufflers. I would like it just a tad louder but its cool. Spending $600+ on a cat back just for sound in the end seems like a waste The only thing i wonder now and haven't tried is using the cat back pipes with stock mufflers. I bet it would sound good while freeing up some flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShockerGT Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Money issues man!! Money!!! hmm... gonna make a proposal to my friends to get that for my birthday You're lucky you don't have a GT. When I had the 2.5i, I didn't really look for mods. Once I bought the GT, I am always a click away from buying something new. Sometimes I can restrain myself, sometimes I can't. Im hungry for horsepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJack Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Right now my priority is MPG. I just got out of ram that got 11.5 . So im happy looking good while going slow. Although i was in a wrx today and i think it will be my next car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
