August 1, 200718 yr Author a new one? sorry, i had to. i was wondering if someone was gonna be a funny guy :
August 1, 200718 yr if the muffler is that bad, be sure to address the pipe behind it as well if it's also bad. don't install a new muffler on rusty pipe. are you doing this yourself or having a shop do it? did the flange come off, or is that still in place? is it usable, probably too rusty? if the flange is useable the easiest way to do it yourself if get a used or new muffler that bolts right up. don't mess with flex pipe and clamps, they rust and are nothing more than very temporary fixes. run some straight pipe, that might be another idea if you don't want to go for the muffler deal. if not, then welding will be needed. can you weld? i'd go with a dynomax straight through muffler, but they are stainless steel so that's a bit tougher to weld. there are cheaper alternatives than dynomax though, tons of off the shelf stuff, take your pick.
August 1, 200718 yr Author when i say that the muffler off it wasnt because of the pipe behind it. the muffler is bad. has a hole in it the size of a soft ball shes due to be changed. il just cut off the muffler and figure something out. ben
August 1, 200718 yr if its a stock engine, non turbo, i probably wouldnt go much larger than 2.25" piping, you do want a little bit of back pressure in a non turbo setup./

August 1, 200718 yr all i did was leave my cats on and just mounted a pipe where the muffler used to be, cost a whole whopping $10. due note that performance was not my goal, i just didn't have any money and didn't want CO2 in my car
August 2, 200718 yr I just said F***k the cats and I ran twin pipes with glasspacks - there's nothing else in the world that sounds like a twin piped Subaru, it almost sounds powerful -Bill
