SwagUp Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hey all! im new and i just got a 98 legacy gt, love it will be posting pics soon, anyways I was wondering if you guys have ever seen a test pipe for the car, meaning: no cat, just strait exhaust from headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 yes, it sounds like shit in my opinion... (and its illegal in WA) but get a good muffler and a short resonator and it should cut out the raspy honda-esque sound nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worknlikeadog Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 ^x2 it's also illegal in PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmEh Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 pretty sure it's illegal in BC too. but not alberta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 You have a boxer 4 banger...be proud of it! It isn't a V8, and it isn't a Honda. So Don't use a straight pipe it will sound horrible. +3 it is illegal in Oregon and most states. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zues Marine Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 dont go catless. get some UEL dual port headers, nice wrx midpipe and a vibrant performance muffler and you'll be happy, as far as the angle, a shop should be able to do it easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a rod Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 does borla make a whole catback system to fit a 98 gt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebriel Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 they make high flow cats that flow within a couple % of just a pipe. it's cleaner, smells better, and kills alot of the nasty sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zues Marine Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 ^i think your first exhaust clip sounds like.....death, nothing personal.. constructive criticism... maybe its just the camera.. the wrx midpipes need to be lengthened a couple inches for use with our cars, stromung makes midpipes for 2nd gens, or used to.. im not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whos_that_guy Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 most likely the camera [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5ItS0JX9Co]YouTube- Subaru fun[/ame] the clip would have been longer but during a bump it got turned off but i did some editing and put the 2 clips together and has music after 1 min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one bad bg Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 ^ no wonder your engine blew up, lol what, i didnt even come close to the rev limiter. and the smoke is from seafoam that i had done a few hours prior, there was still a little bit left over i guess. the first engine blew because i rallyXed it all the time. the next to were shottty shop installs.
