1982 subaru brat exhaust?

Featured Replies

what would be a good exhaust system for my 1982 subaru brat 1.8l?

 

i want a low bass sound not a ricer

Magnaflow or flowmaster, Dont worry about the ricer sound. Subarus have a sound or there own.

Change nothing other than the muffler. The rest is not a significant restriction.

 

Personally I like the low-buck method - cut the muffler off and bend a new section of pipe to replace it. Not actually that loud with no muffler. Or a cherry-bomb works too.

These sound pretty good also. Just gives it a little deeper tone. I myself have ran without a muffler with the tail pipe extended, but that created a little backfiring. Have also ran with a supertrap on the back. Either way you go, its better then the huge fiberglass packed trash can thats on there now.

I have a full 2" stainless steel exhaust on my EA81 with a magnaflow muffler. At idle its nice and quiet with a slight burble. When i get on it it sounds pretty damn mean. Its not so loud that i get tired of it on long trips either. Its my daily so i tried to make it sound good without being obnoxious.

sweet thanks man! if photobucket doesnt work you can try youtube.

couldnt even get that far. I guess my computer doesnt recognize that im trying to upload a video (mac). So...no idea how to do it. I have a canon and i cant even open the camera on the desktop. Sorry but i looked around and i guess i need a usb adapter so that i can plug the memory card right into the adapter and do it that way.

 

Edit...disregard that i figured it out. Here is the video on youtube. Enjoy. Not the best sound quality but you get the idea.

I had the bass turned up on my computer and that was shakin things around my desk. AWESOME! :lol:

I have a hollowed out cat with 2" into a single in dual out magnaflow on the EJ18. I could give a sound clip later if you would like it. Its a little differant being ej'd but still a little more raspy being there is no cat.

Yea i still have a cat on mine. Forgot to mention that. The exhaust shop that built the exhaust would not build it without a cat so i said fine lol. Its probably better that way anyways since 2 inch primaries are a bit big so i dont mind the slight backpressure from the cat.

Here is a clip of my Brat's setup. Hard to hear with the studded tires but it has a nice rumble when i get goin.

Go with GD's advice, but when you chop the muffler, size the remaining pipe up to 2 1/2" or 3" and that will give you that deeper tone you're looking for.

I dunno, I like my magnaflow.

I think flowmaster mufflers are the best for that subaru. :D:banana:
