Hey I am new to the new (ish) Subarus. Just got this 1999 hatch and I want it to sound like a Subaru. I have absolutely no idea about what components I can switch out to make it rumble. It could be a little louder, but I don't want like straight pipe loud. Just a fun sound to accelerate to. This is just a 2.2 I am driving for a daily so I am not trying to build a race car and tune it out. But if it sounded cooler, I'd love that. Where do I start first?

Build a catback. Put a good glasspack right behind the cat, then 2.5" pipe to a decent mid price muffler. A 2.5" outlet behind that will give that deep bass rumble without breaking the bank. The glasspack will resonate right under the seats giving the noise you're looking for. The muffler will keep your neighbors from hating you lol.

 

I had a 95 imp ej18, that had a hollow cat. It sounded mean without being annoying. I dunno if you have emissions to pass, so i cant reccommend that.
