champagne 2.5i Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 What do you guys think of the Legacy Genome exhaust on [url]www.JDMPartTX.com?[/url] Do you think it would give any performance gains? The price seems reasonable at $800. [IMG]http://www.jdmpartstx.com/pics/e_legacygenome.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 800 dollars is not reasonable. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerdave Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I guess "reasonable" is open to interpretation. I had a different adjective in mind when I saw the $800 price tag for two cans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne 2.5i Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 I meant as far as JDM parts, and the fact that it's STI. In retrospect, I guess it's not that reasonable considering how much flowmasters or the such cost. They do look nice though. Other than the cost, what do you guys think? Is there anything better or comapable out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerdave Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I know there is other stuff out there, but they're also imports, and likely to be just as pricey. Borla's supposed to have something soon, and I'm sure others will as well. Patience, grasshopper. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidiq Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 [url]http://cobbtuning.com/legacy/power-i.html#mufflers[/url] Not out QUITE yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 $800 for a pair of stainless cans is just fine. If you want them, go for it. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 The std. STI dual tip cans cost about $1200-1300 new. I looked at that same set of genomes and passed, as I have been told that they are a bit loud compared to the other STI cans. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 One thing to remember with an Outback is that you will need to modify the rear bumper (read: CUT) to fit a LGT exhaust. I am sure you knew that already, but thought someone should mention it in case you didn't. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 If I have to pay 800 dollars for a nice set of cans, I'd rather just have a girl with a nice b cup :D Honestly though- that's a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerdave Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I must be out of touch, because that kind of $$ for two stainless cans seems absurd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 well, at the end, there's no gains really, just sound and looks.. I rather opt for a set of Kansai Ti Mufflers ( [url]www.prs.jp[/url] ) instead, but that's just my taste. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne 2.5i Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 yeah, maybe I'll wait out to see what else comes out for the outback. $800 is a lot (even though I really like the look), but I really want to do something to the outback to make it stand out. I guess for now just having the only 05 OB in my area will have to be unique enough. As far as using a LGT exhaust, I figured I could just use longer hangers. P.S. thanks everyone for responding so fast and with so much input, that's what makes this forum so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plunk10 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 On the WRX, there used to be a $895 option for ONE sti can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red beast Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 i got two small trash cans, $100 a pair. $800 = 5hp gain? is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Accessport + Downpipe with Cut out ~ $900 = 35+whp to 60whp.. that' s more worth it ;) Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
