05_2.5 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Like the title states, are they still around? I was in an accident where i was rear-ended and am looking for an inexpensive replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fx4me Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The exhaust system itself is still being produced, but it is under a different name. I don't know what name they are using this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windy Road Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yup the Gms is your best bet. Fits just like the old xo2 exhaust did. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 They both have fitment issues fwiw. You might want to look at magnaflow too. They are cheap too. "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 They fit better than the Perrin systems. A little tweaking gets the tips lined up nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HpJunkie Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have a GMS exhaust, cheap, nice and sounds good. Alittle loud on the highway but okay. I used a 1 dollar hose clamp to bring the one can up to the right. Thats it, looks great now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 FMS, GMS, Gimmick, and a host of eBay companies make inexpensive exhausts produced from the same Chinese fixtures that made them for XO2. They all come with the exact same fit issues. For about $150 more you can have a Magnaflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Subaru-Legacy-GT-05-07-Exhaust-Catback-System-Dual-/190523660673?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2c5c185981 But it will rust like crazy and look like ass. Do you need the whole CBE or just the mufflers? My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05_2.5 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 probably just the cans but either or would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have posted pix of the FMS and Magnaflow side by side and installed. Why save $100 for a poor copy when you can have the real thing, without fit issues??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 FMS "fits" nothing well. Magnaflow is deeply tucked in a USDM wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 ...Magnaflow sounds incredible and it would be a simple fix for an exhaust shop to adjust the fitment any what you want with a torch. I had the tips chopped off mine and downturns put on for stealth on the OBXT. Looks stock and sounds incredible. Having had all ends of the spectrum: $300+ GMS/Gimmick = cheap, so-so fitment, so-so-materials, worthless hardware, if it doesn't come resonated you will likely be adding a resonator/in line muffler to quiet the drone that is almost exactly at conversation and music tone canceling out much of it. $600+ Magnaflow = what can we say about Magnaflow that has not already been said? Unique sound that dramatically enhances the oem boxer rumble. Deep, throaty, rumbly. Great sound. Great fitment. Solid materials. I would say I am as happy with my Magnaflow on the OBXT as I am with the Stromung on the LGT and the GMS does not come close to touching either one of them.
