Dufek125 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 can I ask why 2.25 vs. 2.5 in pipe? do these engines really need that much back pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 can I ask why 2.25 vs. 2.5 in pipe? do these engines really need that much back pressure? Yes the 2.25" has been dyno proven on the rs's to be the best diameter. It is only a 2.5/2.2L 4 cylinder motor lol, it is no V8. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wish Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 less about "back pressure" and more about maintaining exhaust velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yep, I am no longer in need of one. All my Subies are pretty much gone. My buddy might want one for the car I sold him. I'll keep you up to date with that. Sounds good let me know! Well, I'm back in! I am officially keeping the 99 OBL. So, I will want one of the catted mid pipes. I will be able to put down a deposit but I don't know when I'll be able to come up with the rest because I am buying a new car tomorrow and that's going to be a rather large hit for the next 2 months. I am going to ask my buddy about this tomorrow and see what he says. I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.5" is actually enough to change the exhaust flow quite a bit. When it comes to physics, the smallest of changes can make the largest of differences. 2.5" will create a much more responsive power, but power will be down on the low end. Any (if any) top end gain would be pointlessly minimal, but the low end loss is very noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeafton Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I would totally take a track pipe depending on the price! I'm throwing a P0420 as it is right now, and looking underneath my car it looks like it's about time to replace my exhaust...I'm pretty sure someone used a wire clothes hanger to secure the cat portion of the exhaust... I'm assuming this portion would be useless if I swapped in an EJ20R or another turbo swap, right? I'm new to the legacy world, but typically turbo setups have a 2.5" or larger diameter, plus I'm assuming the route for the swapped subframe would require different angles...? On another note, I am definitely interested in a cat-back as well to finish off the exhaust, I was planning on putting in a Vibrant muffler at some point. I have no emissions where I live, but the cops do get picky about hearing your car 3 blocks away...If you did do the cat-back with a vibrant exhaust, any chance on getting a flat-black muffler by chance? Still undecided about SS vs Flat Black in that department... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 The flatblack muffler they offer is stainless, it is just coated. It is the only muffler they offer in 2.25" piping but they will make a custom size for a little bit more in any style for me. So I could offer both types if people get picky. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 any more word on this? Kind of...The company doing the mandrel bent tube is being very slow right now. I was told one the sales people quit and one of the benders is down for repairs. Unfortunately they are the only ones in town who are reasonably priced, $75 vs. $200 Worst case I am hoping it sets us back 1 week. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 awesome, so end of march basically right now or..? It all depends on the supplier for the piping. If I do not hear back by Tuesday I am going to raise hell lol. I want the prototype for the HFC completely tested before I start selling them. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I am trying to find another one right now that can do the bends for a reasonable price. That other place has horrible customer service, they always have at least a week delay just for an email response. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 And just to keep this going here is the prototype I have been testing for a few weeks now. It is a pie cut version, which will not be what the ones being sold will be. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff139/ptownhawky15/2013-03-17_14-22-44_436_zpsbe338a94.jpg -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dufek125 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 bump? if there not gonna end up going into production im gonna go with a tsudo resonated but id rather not if I don't have too, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 I am trying to find someone who can do the bends, since the other company I had local had horrible communication. I have tested the pipe and it works awesome! I want to make these reasonably priced for you guys. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovr9000 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I bought the tsudo headers and resonated pipe and I'd strongly recommended not getting either. I had to take my 3lb rock hammer to the headers just to be able to get them on (they don't clear the oil filter so they have to come off to do an oil change). The pipe kinda fits but I had to bend it and the headers to get them to line up. Really not fun and I'll be surprised if they last cause I had to trim the undercover for it to fit and I can hear the snow getting stuck to the headers and melting. They gonna crack real soon after all these hot cold cycles. Just my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
