GEE-OTTO Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 This is odd but today a snowstorm hit and I got caught out on I-64 so as im driving i noticed that my car started to sound more like a LGT and then there was no mistaking it it was rumbling I turned off my radio and just listened to it then as I drove out of the snow covered section of the road it went away so I was thinking maybe snow clogged a tailpipe on one side or something odd but anyway it was a good preview of whats to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Impossible that snow clogged a tailpipe unless you backed up into some really packed ice. Even then it would have just blown it out. Maybe you were just coming back from the bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanrose Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I was a little sad to find out the legacy 2.5 come with equal length headers stock. But the extra 10 ish hp from the old single cam motors is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyder626 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I actually had this happen, i got really excited when this happened to me, since it reminded me of my Bugeye, but when i checked it out, I found that a lot of snow/ ice wrapped around the exhaust and it was the reason i was getting the rumble...

The UEL does increase that but it's still there. Got a buddy with a Bugeye that has ELH and it sounds mean as hell. Most Legacy owners don't notice much cause of the quietness of their exhausts. I know I hate how quiet the SVX is with a fully functioning stock exhaust and I won't know what the EZ30R sounds like till I get the Impreza running but EL doesn't elminate the rumble. -Gaddis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a LGT manifold on the car and bam! rumbles like a LGT or WRX or 2.5i with UEL manifold. If there is some trick you know to making EL sound like UEL PLEASE TELL US :spin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and I wonder exactly why snow would do that? Does the drop in temperature have an effect? I would like to know next winter ill try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHiway Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Just a theory, how much snow was on the road when you heard the sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHiway Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm thinking that with snow closer to the bottom of the car, the "normal" noise didn't dissapate as it does with just air between the floorboards and the road surface. The snow also muffled the "normal" tire / road noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Just a theory, how much snow was on the road when you heard the sound? 5-6 inches and this was no BS rumble this was THE RUMBLE true to it nature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHiway Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 5-6 inches and this was no BS rumble this was THE RUMBLE true to it nature I agree, the snow insulated you from typical road noise and you did hear the engine and exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagbot Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 so i guess that means maybe a new exhaust would help to hear the rumble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
