For the price, it’s horrible. They use Mild Steel nuts for 02 bungs on stainless piping, mild steel THIN (around 1/4″) flanges, one vibrant bend, a parts store slip-clamp, and a muffler that can be had for under $40 on ebay. For $689??

We also had to modify it to get it to stop rubbing on the tunnel and on the bumper.

I wouldn’t recommend this exhaust to my worst enemy.

Most wheel shops online will carry them or can get them for you. I would check Subaru forums for group buys first because you may be able to save yourself some money – there’re not cheap.

I got the single resonator so it is quite loud but at highway speeds I’m actually surprised how little drone there is, relatively speaking.

I don’t mind drone so that was never a factor for me, but I think this will surprise people. The only time there is real drone is right around 3k… but anyone with an X knows that at highway speeds you will always be above 3k and with the windows up you just hear a nice growl in the background.

Oh, and drive this baby through a tunnel… will certainly put a smile on your face.

I think just about all UICP pipes that are the same diameter will perform the same. The two piece design should allow more freedom for engine movement under acceleration.

I can feel a more kick in the butt when I hit the gas and for 750.00 it was a good buy – 2 thumbs up.

I also have heard terrible things about turbochargers.com so

Not to mention you have all the other functions such as data logging, dyno, quarter mile times and more. I now have the Cobb AP, Cobb pipe kit and Cobb springs – Cobbed to death!

I was debating getting these and the Swift springs but went with Cobb in the end because they have great customer service and my other parts are of high quality.

The sound is nice and deep. I really didn’t want to ride in a 40k dollar car that sounded like a 15k dollar Civic so it scores well in my book. I also scored so points with the BF so thanks Perrin!

Thanks

If you are looking for a quite exhaust with perfect build quality this may not be for you. I’m not saying it’s going to fall apart but there are other exhaust options that look pretty if that’s what you want.

On the highway at full throttle and through the first three or four gears, the car is night and day difference. I come from an S2000 that had a very strong feel from vtec all the way to redline…the pre flash evo felt the opposite, like it was gasping for air beyond 5500 rpm.

The car now screams through the rpm range, and has significantly more pull in the upper gears. Fifth gear now at 65 mph is a passing gear if you want it to be (5sp manual tranny). The first two gears make full throttle blasts require full attention and the car leaps forward. When stock, I felt like the power was good, but not enough to really jerk the car around and give torque steer.

Verdict, beast. I’ve never had such a cheap mod on any car have such a drastic effect. ECU tuning is clearly the first mod anyone should make IMHO.

My right tip looks like it sticks out further then my left tip, but it is not noticeable, it is very subtle, its just that I am meticulous about things. Both tips are equal in length because I measured them to make sure that they didn’t weld a longer tip of some sort. With that in mind, I do not know why it sticks out further, but overall this exhaust is great.

Its not too loud and you can have conversations in the car with no drone. It sounds like the stock exhaust minus the muffler part, but a bit deeper with a bit more growl. I really like this exhaust and recommend this to anyone.

Please tell me where you live so I can come steal your car. I have been looking for a clean GD for some time. It’s hard to find one that doesn’t have a giant wing because I’m to lazy to pull that off.
