Rattsl Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Is there a way to reach a certain deeper exhaust tone, without getting a full catback or hogzaust, or axle backs and just running the stock system? I'm running an Invidia Catless dp, and a Agency Power up. Say wider pipes somewhere between mid and resonator? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Remove mufflers and run straight pipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattsl Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hell no. Trying to keep it looking as stock as possible. I might have the exhaust finally tucked and extended, but I'm searching for around the middle of the exhaust system, something that would increase the outside tone.

specialB Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Drop your mufflers, cut A square in the top of then. Gut the muffler, weld square back in...louder and deeper Subaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running an Invidia Catless dp, and a Agency Power up. Say wider pipes somewhere between mid and resonator? Any ideas?Have you looked under there before? What do you think you could change under there that is post-DP but pre-muffler that would make the exhaust note a bit louder? There's barely any piping there if you discount the resonated section... Widening the piping in those small sections is probably going to do absolutely nothing. Change/remove mufflers, Hogzhaust, remove resonator (not sure if this is a good idea. Check the exhaust audio/video thread)... those are your choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nope nothing short of axlebacks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The mufflers do the most for tone/volume by far, you won't change the tone too much without changing them.

Rattsl Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 That's a bummer. Thanks guys. I have checked before the exhaust clip sticky, but only a few achiever the sounds I am looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattsl Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well that's a bummer. I have checked the exhaust clip thread, and only a few achieve the sound I'm after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well, what are you looking for exactly? Because those clips are only somewhat useful and nothing beats hearing the car in person. Remember, those clips will sound differently to everyone, and probably the recording itself isn't even accurate. Different recording setups produce clips with more or less bass. And then you have to worry about the playback setup like your speakers, bass settings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattsl Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 All i want is a clean, deep, non raspy tone. Good for dd and loud at WOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 What you want is a new catback, with a third muffler or resonator welded in. Not cheap. It's what I did, and a lot of other people have done. My car runs pretty mellow at idle, not annoying or loud, and is fine for daily city/highway driving, and still sounds amazing at WOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattsl Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 What did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nothing cheap unfortunately. SPT v2 catback (pricey) and I had the midpipe cut and a Magnaflow 5" round straight-through muffler welded in. A 4" probably would have been find also. The car droned like crazy at around 3KRPM without that extra muffler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick4dr Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Sounds like you want one of the new Nameless Performance catback setups. Available without mufflers/ w/ 4in mufflers w/ 5 in mufflers, and a resonator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2_point_5_GT Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I know that you said no catback exhausts but I am running a spt v2 and it is quiet at idle (a little louder then stock exhaust sounding) and at wot it is loud and what everyone looks for with a boxer rumble. I think you would be happy with it. Otherwise I would said catless dp..but 3" piping is a definite plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 No way SPT v2 is just a "little louder" than stock. It's definitely a very noticeable increase in idle rumble as well as highway drone... But then again, maybe I just have a lower tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
