svx6 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I installed mine today. It's a nice system for what it is PARTICULARLY when you look at how expensive all of the other systems are. It doesn't have what I would consider drone. The car revs more freely and it pops an burbles on over -run just like a hard core WRX. It's not the loudest exhaust but you can't hear the engine over it. It's all burblely goodness. I can listen to the radio at normal levels so none of that has changed. At highway speeds it's still there, but majority of noise comes from the road. If you are interested I could probably be persuaded to sell mine. I really wanted it for the Y anyway. If I can't sell it, I think I'm going to go to have this one hacked up so that I can utilize the stock cans. I'm all about NPR and argyle and this has a little more growl than I care for. Not bad...I'm just a fairly meek guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Sweet! Thanks for posting! Looks like the tips fit the cut-outs well. Also looks like it hangs pretty low at the Y. Or maybe that's just 'cause it's so shiny. Any idea if the mufflers would fit the stock exhaust or vice versa? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demo243 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Looks good. very similar to th greddy system only at a much lower price... looks like the tips line up nicely with the bumper and everything. any issues installing it or did it bolt up nicely?

integroid Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Wow, looks like the fit is dead on. Thanks for posting. I am still waiting to get mine on. Hopefully mine will be on soon. I know it is going to be loud but I am way beyond the quiet sleeper I use to have. I bought this system because it was a full 3" all the way back past the "Y". If it had a resonator, it probably would have been my perfect setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svx6 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 You would probably have to mod the mufflers a bit to fit the stock exhaust, but as it is, it fit well. Bolted right up with a minimum of wrestle work. It's just coming off for something a little more low key because I'm such a mild mannered guy *chuckle* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Please pm me with how much you paid, if you don't want to just post it in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svx6 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 it was 299 but the shipping was like $100 bucks. I feel like if I was crafty I could save someone some money when I packaged mine up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svx6 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I got the AVO Mid and Y. I didn't want to hack it up for the next guy. It really is nicely made just not my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vet Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'd love to pull the trigger on this but I don't want much louder than I have now. How loud is this thing? I had an Autospeed on for 2 minutes and it was way too loud. I'd also consider getting this and adding a resonator/muffler. Could this get it down to SPT/Borla levels?

integroid Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 This will be louder than the utospeed. You could always put in a center muffler to quiet it down. Many members have welded in a small magnaflow muffler in the center section on other exhaust systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Get in on the Quad Tip group buy from infamous tuning. If not, this is about the only exhaust specifically made for the wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Bechtold Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Get in on the Quad Tip group buy from infamous tuning. If not, this is about the only exhaust specifically made for the wagon. Quad-Tip or OBX are you saying? I saw AVO has one ($$$). Other than being a little pricey does anyone know how is the sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Bechtold Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 http://www.racingpartsdepot.com/pictures/ex11648.jpg Is it a slip fit on the top two pipes in the upper right hand corner? Subarugeneration do you have a website? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

integroid Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Quad-Tip or OBX are you saying? I saw AVO has one ($$$). Other than being a little pricey does anyone know how is the sound? Infamous is having a quad tip exhaust made by Stomung for about $1k. They have a wagon specific version. I would say either get that exhaust or the OBX. If you want something more on the quiet side, I would get the Infamous exhaust. If you dont mind it being loud, get the OBX for 1/3 of the price.

BillyJoe Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just installed the OBX a few days ago...and yes, it is loud, and yes, there is drone. Going to install a magnaflow muffler on the midpipe tomorrow. I'll post up some pics when the blizzard here is over. The fit is pretty good, really beefy flanges and 3" pipes all the way to the back to the mufflers. The y-pipe does hang pretty low, but no problem for me to clear speedbumps (lowest part is right under rear axle), I am sitting on eibachs. Lets see how it sounds after the magnaflow install, if it sounds good, this exhaust was worth it. btw: I had a problem properly sealing the slip-on joint on the midpipe - as it sits now, it is leaking. It doesn't matter much to me now since I'm going to cut that section out for the Magnaflow muffler install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
