ir2005 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 So last week I bought a 2005 lgt. It came with a catless dp and cat back that I had to install. None of the pipes had markings as to who made them. I put them on and it all sounds good! fitment was a little janky... I noticed at the y pipe to the mufflers its goes from 3 inch to 2.25 which seems a little small. The exhaust has a little raspyness to it. Would that because its going from 3 to 2.25? or just crappy made Chinese mufflers? I believe this is the exhaust http://www.ebay.com/itm/DUAL-4-TIP-OVAL-MUFFLER-MIDPIPE-CAT-BACK-CATBACK-EXHAUST-05-09-SUBARU-LEGACY-GT-/190706449829?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c66fd7da5&vxp=mtr#ht_4222wt_1397 The gentleman said he got it off ebay and it was less than $350. So im guessing its that. (the only good thing it does it makes the turbo whistle really loud) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 1) it's not a restriction 2) yes, it's probably because the catback is ghetto 3) i hope you have a tune for the car but you probably don't. you'll be sorry if you don't get one very, very soon and lay off the gas.

I just got the car this way a week ago so I dont know much other than what i have read and this is pretty small from all the other exhausts i have looked at from the y pipe back. its going in tomorrow for a tune.

Max Capacity Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The smaller pipes from the Y back is fine, in theroy you have the exhaust gasses cut in half so you don't need 3" on each side. Hopefully you have a catless up pipe on the car ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

ir2005 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I bought an up pipe and the shop that tuned my car just opened. So they offered to put it in for cheap. He asked why I bought an up pipe because my car already had a STI up pipe on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
