awdG35killer Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 this is sweet. would go great with a Bosal UP and if they ever make a DP w/ cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 How does a person earn these "suby bucks?" My dealer/salesman never mentioned it. Was it only during the original car purchase that you can earn these? How else can they be earned? get a subaru master card. go to the subaru website. you get 3% back on everything. up to $500 a year. i currently have about $125. you can us it on parts or maintanence.

SUBE555 Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 I *REALLY* hope that Bosal doesn't sell out to SPT exclusively.. We all know how overpriced the SPT parts are To be honest, the SPT Cat-Back isn't really much of any more than the similar Bosal named unit. I have yet to hear any good word on the products, last time I asked was about a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illt3ck Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I can't wait for this catback to come out, I'm definitely buying it. Has anyone attempted to contact someone at Bosal to get a definite release date? I tried calling but their phone system is a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 That Bosal cat-back is a very nice-looking piece. When you see some of the other, low-hanging, unrolled-tip things that are on offer for our cars, the decision to wait, for those making it, would seem to be made by those images that lead off this thread. I imagine the price will be right too, though the Legacy Bosal stuff looks a lot nicer than the WRX cat-back, which makes sense given the marketplace positions of both cars. Personally, I would wait for the SPT stuff, to at least give the home team a fighting chance. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mryat Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hi guys, I'm the one that built this car so thank you for the nice coments. (By the way I'm changing the wheels on the car) Here are some updates; The gauge pack should be available soon and go for around $900. The car is at the Atlanta auto show at this time which i'm not to happy about. It should have gone to the NY Auto Show but S**T happens. Yes those Perrin sway bars are the first ones out but there for show only. They will be replaced by real ones when the car gets back. The hood should have been open to show off some other parts that were on the car. Subaru & I will be having a meeting in the next couple of weeks doing some test fitting and some sound tests. I have a sound clip which I would love to share with you guys but it's to big to send:-(. The system should retail for around 700-750 and yes it will be through SPT. On the other hand we are coming out with an uncatted down pipe and that should arive in abut Two months. We do make an uppipe for the GT and it is ready for sale. (We do not sell to the public but always looking for stocking dealers) If you have any other questions please call me at work 800-631-7271 x 227 Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaStaMooN Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Mike sent me some pictures of the upcomming kit. Its a 3" catback to a 2.25" ypipe. 304 stainless steel. Nice looking piece for sure! And not uber expensive like some other kits.. I think I found my next major purchase! Enjoy. Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 On the other hand we are coming out with an uncatted down pipe and that should arive in abut Two months. Mike Thank you. That's the one I'm waiting on assuming it's a shorty downpipe only replacing the second cat. My tuner likes Bosal stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Dual-tip option?? I have a love for wagons and dual-tip mufflers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mryat Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Lets put it this way. The only way, and I feel the best way to sell parts is to get information from you guys what your looking for. I am not some suit who sits behind a desk and looks at stats. I do all this work on my own time as this is just a small part of our business, but it is my first love. I also go to several car shows, drag races ect. throughout the year to see for my own eyes whats going on in the market. Sure at times its hard to explain to the suits what you guys are looking for but I do get my point across. So in the future if you have any comments or ideas please share them with me, email or call me @ 1-800-631-7271 x 227 I', there from 8:30- 5:00 M-F est Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mryat Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Patagonian GT, sorry I think this is the tip we are going with. What we really wanted to do was make the tips like the Acura TL where it fits the outline of the facia, but it was to expensive for tooling to do that. What kind of tip would you like to see? vbmenu_register("postmenu_154753", true); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 What kind of tip would you like to see? Something like the STi rear cans or this (Stromung): http://milanointeractive.com/pics/stromung-cbe.jpg Dual, slash cut (or rolled) staggered tips (though smaller tips tucked up into the bumper would look better than this pic).

Domain Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 mryat, thank you for all the information This Cat-Back definately looks like it will enter the top of my list for upgrades in the future. The up-pipe / down-pipe also look quite interesting, although they might be a little hard to get ahold of if you don't sell to the public? Also, do you possibly have any other information on the SPT Spring set by Eibach? ----- Domain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostsr20 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Sweet! Whats the sound level like? It doesn't look like there are any resonators. I'd prefer the dual staggered tips also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mryat Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Sorry guys were not going to do the dual tips. As far as the springs go there still be tested and don't know when the release will be. As soon as I know I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illt3ck Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I think the way it looks now is perfect! Like I said, I can't wait for this piece to come out Let's hope that the target price holds true, otherwise I'll be dissapointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mryat Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I know what my cost is Subaru has some idea what their cost will be so I hope it will stay in that area. Put it this way if the price is way to high no one is going to buy it. So let's keep our fingers crossed, i know mine are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 mryat, off topic, will the downpipe be a shorty like the ones for the WRX or full length like the perrin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 In the $700 range give/take 50 is very good considering most want a bit more for mufflers alone, muchless cat-backs coming in mostly at 1000+. I think the single tips are really nice and seeing it in person it's like this is really some quality stuff! The Bosal Up-Pipe can be had from many vendors, Subydude carries them in stock for a good price and it comes with gaskets and a CEL fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illt3ck Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I fully intend on purchasing the catback / uncatted downpipe / uppipe once everything is available. Thanks Bosal / Mike!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
