Zues Marine Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 How is this setup on the highway? Drone any? Also, how does a suba-noob figure out what engine is in my leggy, all it is stamped with is "EJ25"... helps a lot.... Thanks! you have the ej25d most likely... itll sound the same, freeway speeds it ends up very faint which is perfect imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankdeluxe Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 id like to hear this! i was thinking of doing exhaust next, or maybe just a muffler and resonator, or maybe just cutting out the cats. or maybe doing two straight pipes coming straight back off the headers? anyone seen that? i want it nice and deep and pretty quiet prob UEL headers soon I'll try and get a video tonight. If you need exhaust help I can weld up some pipes if you wanna fix my cancer spot on my rear fender. You won't really get quiet and deep together. Its basically one or the other. Mine isn't super loud compared to a lot of the wrx's around town but its the loudest legacy I have heard on the road. UEL's are next on my list. Really bring that rumble out.

snwsccrjc Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 So I have an EJ22E and wanna get some exhaust work goin. I know Zues was talkin about keeping the piping 2.25" for back pressure reasons. Muffler shops can attach a muffler (thinking vibrant performance 1046) with a 2.5" inlet to the 2.25" piping, yeah? and then if I get an 18" resonator is there a particular brand people like or are they all pretty much the same. Just tryin to do it right heheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 vibrant resonator.. and the 1046 is the shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snwsccrjc Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 But should the piping be 2.25 or 2.5? I have stock headers, down pipes, and cats. So maybe 2.5 wouldn't cause issues. I would like get UEL headers some day but that's a ways down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 2.25", you're not pushing enough exhaust to need 2.5" until you start messing with internals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBRANDER Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I did 2.25 with a long glass pack where the old resonator used to be. I like it, plus glass packs have that low popping when you let off the gas as medium load. I dont have a video but I'll explain it the best I can.

DOHCEJ22E1 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Now how would 2.25 piping AFTER the 2nd cat affect the exhaust flow? I have stock on right now but I am looking to modify my exhaust once more except this time, no more 3in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonelkeystone Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 2.25" is OEM so.... it'd be normal -ZM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCEJ22E1 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 2.25" is OEM so.... it'd be normal -ZM Really? I thought that the stock pipe was a little skinnier than that. I guess 2.5in will be good then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snwsccrjc Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I read a long debate on piping diameter on a different thread. Zeus Marine says 2.25 is good in order to keep back pressure close to stock so as not to lose hp and mpg. He seems to know what he's talkin about so.. I'd listen. I'm actually about to get a cat-back system put on with 2.25" piping and Vibrant Perfmance's 18" resonator and 1046 muffler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOHCEJ22E1 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 OEM is 1-7/8" This is the current size on my brand new Bosal stock system for the GT. I'm going to try a few things with it & see if I can retain the TQ (I have learned that I am getting some nice lower end thanks to the stock setup.)

JJay03 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I finally took a short vid its nothing special and its not behind the car cause I did not want to set my phone on the ground then go rev. http://youtu.be/wsGTlaie2Jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNathan Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 can someone actually explain why back pressure is needed for HP and MPG...I've never been able to understand it, it doesn't make sense to my simple brain Also Jay, that's probably the best sounding one I've heard yet, I may mimic your setup.

JJay03 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 You could lose some low end but not horse power. Its all about volumetric effiecency. A large short runner intake would also lose low end power but have good gains in the upper rpms. Im pretty satisfied with the exhaust its not too loud and is very deep. Sometimes it has too much of a baffle sound in the interior though. I want to hear what it sounds like passing by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNathan Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 So looking into those Borla headers, I've seen notes where they crack easy. Is that still a concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
