Thinking of ditching my stock Legacy mufflers because... well... all the other stock exhaust is long gone and frankly the stock Legacy cans do not really do my car justice in the sound department. Technically the stock cans are not really a restriction, they just sound like crap. I heard the Bosal/SPT on Mike's wife's car and can't quit thinking about how that stock LGT sounded WAY better than my my 300+WHP LGT (final # TBD as I am still working on a fueling issue). So anybody got recommendations on good quality SS mufflers with a nice tone to them that will not cost an arm and a leg? Needs to be good construction- drone on the highway is not acceptable. To be welded by Andy @ Killshot...
You can get this complete system for the price of two mufflers http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Plus it was specifically made for the wagon!
I guess I was thinking : Borla Dynomax Flowmaster No idea of which product line or model- just generalizations of quality build and sound.
Too bad ther are really no bolt on exhaust systems left for the wagons. The one above and then maybe one or two that will bolt on and clear the rear bumpers. Or just buy some aftermarket mufflers and have Andy build you a custom 3" single exit exhaust. The Y in our system is the bottleneck
I wonder, would the GR STI mufflers bolt up to the legacy setup? If yes, then that's a pretty cheap approach as well, even if you need to pay a few bucks to have the front of the axel back modified slightly. I know they're loosely based on the Legacy platform.
I already have a Cobb DP and XO racing mid-pipe and crossover pipe. STI Genome sound good in clips I've heard, but freaking USED ones go for $600+ and the wagon bumper means none of the JDM ones look great (tips are too short).
Eddie- Based on other comments in this thread and general common sense... a $350 setup that includes TWO mufflers (even if they were welded by a blind child in a third world country) probably utilizes mufflers that are something less than ideal since 2 Borlas alone would cost that.
Yeah, if I ever do a custom setup it will be a single exit with a fake on the other side. I am seriously thinking about the obx system. It is the only system I have seen that is a full 3" even after the "Y" pipe.
I really like the sound of the magnaflow mufflers. Not sure how the drone would be on the highway though. That is what I am going with on my personal car. Either 3.5" or 4" single muffler (turbo back will be a minimum of 3.5" due to the turbo). But you can get those for around $100/piece depending on the size and get them welded in place if you already have the Y pipe. What size pipe will they be fitted to?
Once Brian's bugeye is actually running; it's exhaust will be made of 100% virgin unobtainium welded in a secret Mossad bunker deep in the heart of Israel then sent to Calico to be triple coated internally and externally with a rare isotope of narwhal spooge.
Just the header, up-pipe and down pipe. The rest is old vent pipe left over from the new gas water heater.
