Brett Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 In all honesty I like the quietness of the car. I'd save all that time/money and get a tune and/or AP. Give yourself some more power and stay stealthy. Loud cars bother me, both from passing them on the freeway and having to drive one. My track car, a largely stock s2000, has a 89-92db level cabin noise at 75mph. I get into the subi (winter beater car) and its so quiet, yet fun in a straight line. Friend of mine has an exhaust on his recently purchased STI, and while it sounds nice, it's not nice in the cabin or for a daily driver. Sounds like an huey when started up cold. It's my opinion noise should be made from power, not noise for the sake of noise. You should have more fun with more power too a stock legacy can run 13's... that's a good enough reason to let it rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWSPECB Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 ^If you don't want to spend the time going to a muffler shop you can buy deletes from Nameless Performance. I just put a set on on Saturday morning. Took about 20 minutes including making sure the tips were sitting in the cutouts correctly. Great workmanship on them and an awesome bunch of guys. Met them personally and saw a lot of their other production and prototype work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWSPECB Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah, I simply don't have time to even go check with a shop so I just stomached the $300 and am completely satisfied now. Only loud when you get on it, no drone, good tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobycoupe Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 13.5 is pretty impressive I guess I will have to take mine to the track this summer and see what it puts down with the Stage 2. Was the temp outside that day pretty cool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the temp outside that day pretty cool? temp was perfect! it ran as fast as my stage 2 time. lesson = summer sucks, spring is good for turbo.

scoobycoupe Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 yeah ok that makes sense then, I was comparing it to the 12.9 I ran in my Impreza which was on a 102 degree june day in Maryland with a heat soaked TMIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt06unlimited Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 AHAHAHAHA are you serious? Haven't seen that one. Man.... hahaha i have not heard that one yet either, but i think you should also plug it every time it rains, snows, or youre driving on the highway and it gets spayed with road mist.
