jasejase Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 You can get a ticket in CT for having a car that isn't stock? Woah. Almost sounds like the Peoples Republic of Virginia! Max Capacity, are you sure he didnt actually ticket you for something else? In most states, you can get a ticket for a modification that has to do with the actual performance or safety of a car.... But tips?! LOL. They sell those at Walmart. Was your exhaust loud maybe? removal of mufflers or sound control devices is illegal in CT (and most states).

BAC5.2 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 You can't get a ticket for something that affects the performance of a vehicle, but you can get one for something that violates a law (like the exhaust volume law) or impacts safety in some obvious way (tinted headlights or tail lights or something). An exhaust, so long as it retains emissions control devices in the factory locations and doesn't exceed the 95dB limit, is a tough ticket to write that almost definitely wouldn't stand up in a court of law (at least in MD).

VA IS THE WORST!!!!! Got pulled over on monday morning at 6am during rush hour traffic on 95 for illegal tint. I watched the state trooper switch over 3 lanes to pull me over.

Instanced Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hmm... would those muffler deletes fit an N/A 2.5i? Just curious, if I can't BE fast at least I can SOUND fast! LOL! 2.5i and 2.5gt exhausts are the same (someone correct me if i'm wrong)... the only thing is you won't get a nice boxer rumble if you change out the mufflers because you have equal length headers... all NA's have EL's... turbo's got the UEL. (again someone correct me if i'm wrong).. also... isn't a wagon exhaust different/longer then a legacy exhaust? and "ricer" is an overused term... TECHNICALLY we're all ricers here as we all have subaru's...

Instanced Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 False. Ricer may refer to: Potato ricer, an implement used for food preparationRice burner, a pejorative describing Asian motorcycles and automobiles And Where are subaru's from??? hmmmmmmm... NOT DETROIT! TECHNICALLY WE ARE ALL RICERS... it's just a Technicality. so YOU (ricer), are False. Further definition: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ricer A person who modifies a low-powered and/or cheap car using after-market parts to make it look more powerful or sporty than it actually is. Pretty sure our car's aren't in the "expensive" range either. It's an argument regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 2.5i and 2.5gt exhausts are the same (someone correct me if i'm wrong) Well No they are not fully the 2.5i has smaller stock mufflers. But they share the same the Y pipe. All 96+ Legacy N/A's have a pretty much EL manifold. Actually the LGT muffler is quiet a bit larger than the 2.5i which I found to be odd. Now that I run A LGT manifold on my 2.5i I wonder how that would sound. (I swapped to LGT mufflers a while ago and never ran the 2.5i cans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cop said, "the reason I pulled you over was beacuse this car came with only one exhaust tip, you have two". Yes it was a aftermarket muffler, that had two tips but was in the stock location. The day I had the windows tinted, with in 3 hours had a ticket for that too. Granted the car was yellow and stuck out in traffic.

boosted subaru Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Sounds good with out mufflers. A little to loud for my taste though, I think with the mufflers on it not only quiets it down but makes a deeper rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's loud. How long have you had your ride? How bad is the highway drone? Sounds nice, and great rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesej05 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Its really not that loud when your driving at all (I think the 4 year old camera microphone was a little sensitive...but then again I've never been behind my car when someone is revving it) I've had it almost a month. The exhaust is a deep, mellow tone when your accelerating and cruising speed you can barely hear it. I like the sound of it. And only being in the Subaru world for that short of time, I see a lot of members going stage 2...what exactly is all needed to go stage 2?

Max Capacity Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 ^^ When you get, you will know why... I do agree, I don't think the car is that loud or noisy on the highway with no mufflers. When I went stage 2 with a catless DP then I had to put the stock mufflers back on. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

I Donated thefultonhow Posted April 11, 2011 I Donated Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yeah, my car's exhaust noise levels with stock mufflers increased a fair amount with UP/DP. Nothing unmanageable, but I'm not sure I'd want to run it with anything except stock mufflers at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yes My SpecB is at Cobb stage 1, my 05 Wagon is at stage 2 on a custom street tune with a catless up & dp, with a bigger TMIC, pulling 19.4psi in 3rd. That wagon gets from 70-110 really quick. The mpg is about the same on both. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

milesej05 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Good deal, looks like I have my next 3 purchases figured out already! 1. Downpipe 2. Tune (or accessport v3) 3. Short Throw Shifter. had a STS on on my mustang and although it doesn't add any 'performance' numbers...it was definitely the best modification I did to the car.

Max Capacity Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 STS, which one are you planning to get ? I have a OEM STS on the 05 and I'm not really impressed with it. I have spoken with Cobb, and I would go that way or a Kartboy next time. Oh yea. One great improvement was the $70.00 sti tranny mount mount. That made the biggest difference. I did that back in Aug 04. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

gil_ong Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 so now that we've just about completely gone off topic........ how restrictive ARE the stock mufflers? when i had my bugeye WRX, going to an STi muffler made a fair bit of difference. WRX stock muffler---17mm Hg = 100% Sti stock muffler------9mmHg = 53% Prodrive oval tip ----6.5mmHg = 38% stock WRX midpipe----5mmHg = 29% 2.75"id x 30" pipe-----0mmHg=0% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would HIGHLY recommend you get a catless uppipe with that downpipe. You're already down there and you need to take the DP off to get to the UP, so may as well. Or you can always gut your own UP. Either way, do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
