I havent seen these on any LGT's. Here's what it sounds like on a WRX, if we're talking about the same thing.

korpsepatrol Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 The one in the ebay link is an X02 Exhaust. Do not get it if you live in a place with bad winters since it will cause it to rust up quick. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stclark13 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 kinda shady too, cuz if it is a rebadges X02 why is it like $200 more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roppongi Sho Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 kinda shady too, cuz if it is a rebadges X02 why is it like $200 more? lol! I never realized that. Same goes for the "EB Stores" CBE. Whats better is that its not even on the Top Speed Auto Accessories website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornman Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 thank you everyone!! When I got back in town I was not happy that this could be a repackaged xo2. I called prospeed1 ready to find out there is a fake out there it turns out prospeed does make this CBE. I am installing next week. I will post sound clips to see if anyone would like to hear it. wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korpsepatrol Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 If you already bought this you should really look into coating it. Here is my home made exhaust coating. Here was my process http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1764203&postcount=127 http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1766816&postcount=140 It might not make it bullet proof like swain coatings but it is definitely better than nothing, i took off the x02 after a year of use in the winter and no rust just the coating came off a bit. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65059&highlight=x02+catback That is the complete thread of the catback in question. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godspeed to you. korpsepatrol, I may have been confusing TOP SPEED PRO-1 with Prospeed performance.....and that coating process looks intense. Its a shame you need to go through all that for a quality piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornman Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 opened box and looks well made. new packaging guy forgot my straight pipe!!!!! Oh well whats a few more days. Also I live in a cold weather area and was interested in the coating. does not sound hard just a lot of prep work. It does look close to a xo2 but up close is made much better. Ill leave a sound clip soon thanks for everybodys help I am new to these cars. My last car was a x-type jag. I like this lgt much better. way more fun to drive and I love the aftermarket parts for there cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korpsepatrol Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 horn, the x02 right out of the box is a quality looking product the welds look good the flanges look solid as well. However its not the build quality its the quality of the materials that is the bad part. As for the coating, just make sure two things, heat it for a while with the heat gun like an hour. three coatings are good enough. also WEAR A PROPER MASK! Do not use a regular dust mask or something like that get one that they sell for painting which is like 40 bucks. I used the dust mask first and ended up quite light headed, switched and it went away. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornman Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I am looking into wether I have been misled by the seller. I will coat it also. Thanks for the advice. Do you have a down pipe also or a reflashing. It looks to me that in order to put in a down pipe you also must get a reflash or cel lights come on.

korpsepatrol Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 well a tune with the cel's disabled already kinda helps. You can run the dp without a tune but i wouldn't recommend it. The cbe you can definitely run without any cause for concern. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roppongi Sho Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 hey hornman, you have the website by any chance? So Im not confused by the bogus ebay cbe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornman Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 ebay. pro speed says they make a cbe for lgt.I am not sure if this is a real top speed cbe yet. It appears to be one but it does look similar to a xo2. the xo2 youtube clip of a wrx top speed looks just like the one I got. I am going to get a picture from top speed to see if mine is real or a xo2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornman Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 This exhaust finally installed.Instal was easy and the sound is very deep and non-aggressive. it is mello. It does sound awesome though.one of the deepest tones I have heard. It is very quiet in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
