My Brat, with EA81, has a custom 2.5in from the heads back to a Magnaflow muffler, Its pretty raspy and loud.
My RX, with EJ22T swap has 2.5in from the DP back to a aftermarket muffler and has the deep boxer rumble. Its actually quieter than when the EA82T was in it.

I love the way my old loyale sounds. borla header, and stock mid-pipe from a Cali-spec BD Legacy GT (3 cats, and a resonator). and then a turn-down so the exhaust wasn't pointed right at the DOJ boot....

I ran with the stock L series exhaust modified to fit to the factory EJ22 Y pipe on my '88 L wagon.
Before heading to the snow last year I "lashed out" on a new exhaust setup that also tucked up where it should be with the three inch lift.
Here's some pics of the setup - 2.25 inch cat back with resonator and new rear muffler "to release the subi burble" which the exhaust shop got right. A nice note, not really refined but still sounds the goods! Pics:

^ I was hoping for a hotdog style resonator but this is what I got - beggers can't be choosers! And a flexi joint is a must to stop vibration through the exhaust system.


And a video of the note while climbing Mt Hotham from Harrietville in Victoria Australia - gets a little repetitive!
Love the note and the perceived performance gain if there's actually any there. I know she loves to rev easier! Well worth the money for such a "small" mod! I really enjoy my subi a pot load more since the exhaust - plus the tucking it up under the vehicle again has been very valuable offroading

Cheers
Bennie

Love the note
I could live with that. I expect that in order to be lower you'd have to go larger exhaust.

It has a nice subtle rumble, with no droning while on the highway.
