Lesbaru Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I had my heart set on some Prodrive cans but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I use my LGT wagon for business and need a conservative exhaust tone. What's my next best choice after the Prodrives? The car is bone stock.

Lesbaru Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Thanks for the info. What's a muffler lobotomy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pre-dent Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 COBB is a good choice... or if you want to stay stock but update the look, you could always just get some exhaust tips welded/bolted onto the stock mufflers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesbaru Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 The stock look is OK with me. That was the initial attraction of the Prodrives. This car is just too damn quiet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katalyst Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 avos are fairly large diameter, i'm not sure how "business" like that would appear to your clients pulling up with grapefruit sized tips on your car. they can be fairly loud as well once you start some other exhaust mods (up/dp). they are awesome sounding though if you want some intense rumble. cobb would prob be the way to go though.

subaruski Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hogzaust People still do this? avos are fairly large diameter, i'm not sure how "business" like that would appear to your clients pulling up with grapefruit sized tips on your car. they can be fairly loud as well once you start some other exhaust mods (up/dp). they are awesome sounding though if you want some intense rumble. cobb would prob be the way to go though. I would do a DP with the AVO Y/Mid pipes and keep the stock cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but compared side by side to cobb, the cobb's are a bit louder, and throaty which makes it sound a bit louder. The avo's have been one of the quieter mufflers i have found, they have more of a bass/barotone sound to them. The 4 inch tips don't look that out of place either, however the cobbs do have a more subdued tip. I will post pics of my avo's, if no one else posts pics. At the moment though my mid and y is causing a drone since it is resting on my frame which also causes the car to act like a speaker for the exhaust. Once i get that taken care of i will post up sound clips. Any exhaust is going to sound louder after the up and dp, i have gone through stock, x02, lachute replica's and now avo's. Once the avo's have settled in they are quite subdued. 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...
FocuS Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I don't know if I'd give up on Prodrives completely! I've seen a couple of sets go for decent prices on here in the last few months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deku Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 ...so does that mean my dreams of owning a set of Prodrive Oval tips are dead? I'm also curious if you've made a decision on your exhaust. -MikeH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesbaru Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 No decision yet. I'm considering everything from a downpipe + tune to a Hog-zaust. Nothing is really jumping out at me so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappy Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 No decision yet. I'm considering everything from a downpipe + tune to a Hog-zaust. Nothing is really jumping out at me so far though. You may as well try the Hog-zaust..Its less than two bucks and actually good sounding. It took me prob. 10 minutes to do the whole thing..I was able to retain the factory bolts. I guess if those gave me some trouble it would have taken longer.. Try it and see what you think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
