Goon3r Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 This arrived today - http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/08042005(001).jpg In the boot we go - http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/08042005(003).jpg On the ramps at my local tyre and exhaust company - http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/08042005(004).jpg A close up of the flange - http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/08042005(006).jpg A sexy rear end - http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/08042005(009).jpg http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/08042005(008).jpg No where near as noisy as I was expecting (I had a Nur Spec R on my old STi!), a refined, throaty noise, not boomy and well within euro noise regs. I will try and get some mp3's of it next week for reference. Cost me the grand total of £385 + £118 Air Freight, worth every penny. http://www.stiracing.com Edit - Pics taken on a camera phone in bright daylight.

CFar Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I had a cat back portion on my old WRX and felt more of an improvement from that than the DP. Good times at the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon3r Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 I'm probably going to change the entire centre section as it looks awful, can't believe how corroded it is in only 3 months, British weather for you. I'll drag my camcorder out at the weekend and get some audio, but don't expect the usual rice noises, it's surprisingly quiet and even refined, but it growls when you press the loud pedal! http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/PDR_0877_resize.JPG http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/PDR_0878_resize.JPG http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/PDR_0879_resize.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Looks very very tidy, great installation, well done. BUT.... there is always a but, welcome to the world of steep driveways and that ear piercing noise of beautiful Blitz Cannons scraping on the ground.... Hope this doesnt happen but serious, a very sexy setup. All the best. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon3r Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Thanks Adam, Actually they aren't quite as low as the picture looks, but I will be cautious near 'sleeping policeman' as we call speed bumps in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne53 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Looks very nice!! I can't wait for a sound clip. -Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeding_gaijin Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Nice!!! I was looking for a nicely priced one for my RSK, but couldn't find any, they are not as common in Japan among subbie owners. Definetely get yourself one of them chrome Blitz stickers, they look really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlight Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Looks nice. It'll probably get louder, assuming you left all the cats and resonator in place. I'm gonna spring for their cat-back once it comes out stateside.

Goon3r Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 I did a rolling road session last week and the car was only producing 210bhp instead of 245bhp, so I think the drain pipe sized outlets are counter productive. I haven't noticed it get any louder, but I am quite happy with the way it sounds now, although I am still tempted to remove the resonator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I did a rolling road session last week and the car was only producing 210bhp instead of 245bhp, so I think the drain pipe sized outlets are counter productive. 'rolling road session' = dyno run? If so, 210 at the wheels is respectable and probably higher than stock (stock ratings at the wheels is about 195-205 for the 2.5T). The 245 HP rating is close to what we get here at crank for the 3.0 H-6 and the 2.5 T motors, so I will assume you are stating rated power by Subaru. Nothing to worry about.

Goon3r Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 I think they are 5" tips. Pat, I wish it was 210 at the wheels, it was 210 at the fly. http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy%20-%2004/Rolling%20Road%20001.jpg Ignore the Legacy Turbo bit at the top, it's a Spec B 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 A Dyno Dynamics dyno measures at the wheels......unless they unbolted your motor and tested it on an engine dyno, it will always be wheel HP. Your results are spot-on good for an H-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom96 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 So did you order two of these? Item No.: TXBZ-13681 http://www.stiracing.com/product.php?cat_id=12&id=258 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon3r Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Pat, At the wheels the power was 157bhp, I have two print outs. Other cars on the day were making slightly under what the owners were expecting, but mine was well down on what the manual says. Dom, lol, no don't order two of those, they are Impreza mufflers, they won't fit a Leggy without serious modification. You will need to email Simon or Anita at info@stiracing.com as I can't seem to find the correct part number here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the only similiar muffler I saw on their site. Plus, I am a noob. I think I'll try the same setup, I'll see if I can't get a dyno before and after.
