jonklein611 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Has anyone found an exhaust system that sounds good on the N/A legacies? Even just a muffler, I don't want that fart can sound, but im looking for something to spice up the legacy. (1996 L wagon with the 2.2L) Thoughts, opinions, samples? - Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 An SPT exhaust made by Bosal will fit. Here is the link: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1433584 This should fit a 2.2, the dia. is a little larger but IIRC they mount exactly the same.

jonklein611 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thanks a bunch. Esp if it's an axleback, then it should be the same. (The turbo swaybar (rear) fits in my car). I fired off an email, lets see if he has any left..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermont22gt Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have a Stromung cat back on my 2.2 wagon. Sounds healthy. Nothing like a cheapo "trash can" on a civic. To do that to a subi would be just plain wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonklein611 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have a Stromung cat back on my 2.2 wagon. Sounds healthy. Nothing like a cheapo "trash can" on a civic. To do that to a subi would be just plain wrong. Which one fits though? I have a local "tuner shop" that if I told them my car had a Gallo 12 theyd believe me, so they are useless. I've got my local shop that will do the install, but all they can get are the generic standard mufflers. Stupid question, what tools are needed for a cat back or axel back? Any welding or is it all bolt on for those parts? Thanks for all the help. Also if you put a trash can on a suby (some WRX's around my area...) it just sounds like a boat at idle. I don't want my wagon to be a boat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermont22gt Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 This is a total do it yourself job. All you should need are a couple of box wrenches, and a jack to do the job.Buy the muffler or setup specifically for your car & it should "bolt on". It's not usually cheap though. Or you could have your local welder "fashion" something together. You might even be able to pay him with beer. Just make sure you give him the beer once the project is done. If you do it yourself make sure you have all the gaskets you need, and new nuts,bolts&washers. Also clean up any flanges you take apart, before you bolt up anything new. Scrape off any old gasket, or rust with a wirebrush & scraper.Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonklein611 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sweetness, what model from Stromung did you get? I now have a good weekend project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermont22gt Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Not sure what model it is. Call boxer4racing in NC.828-683-9218. Tell them what car you have & they will send you the right one.Plan ahead though, those systems are made when the're ordered. Mine took almost a month to get.

99SUS SFD Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Check for the SPT exhausts on eBay. Will be a bolt on for your wagon as long as you purchase the wagon exhaust (there are two different ones offered). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonklein611 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Actually I found the manufacturer of the SPT exhaust (Bosal). I talked to Mike Yazkowitz (sp?), he said he has a bunch like $120. :-D Thanks for all the help and input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonklein611 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Tried to pull the old one out today, bolts and pipe have become one with rust :-( . Anyone have any tips? The heads are stripped and rounded too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermont22gt Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Cut the bolts with a torch, grinder, sawzall, or what have you. Once the bolts are cut the two flanges should separate. If not, drive a chisel or the like between the two mating surfaces of the flanges. Be as careful as you can with the flange that will remain on the car. Also, use caution with whatever you're cutting the bolts with. Don't forget that your gas tank is close to the midpipe>muffler flange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonklein611 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks for the help, got it appart (10min job turned into an hour job) and got the new one all bolted in. I'll post the videos once I get home. Thanks everyone for the advice, it's a great sounding muffler that isn't annoying. :-D In other words, I only make noise when I want to.
