I feel lately I have been neglecting my Turbo Legacy, so this morning when I woke up, I decided to spend the day with it.

 

I got a cat-back exhaust from a buddy of mine. Aparently it came from a WRX or a STi or something... its just a straight pipe with a tip on it. But it sounds better than the stock muffler.

 

So I installed it, then decided to wash the crud off my Legacy. Looks so much better, however removing the dirt and grime revealed all the flaws in my paint and all the scratches and dents Ive forgotten about.

 

Regardless, here's some pictures

 

 

 

 

 

The New Exhaust

 

 

I took the digital camcorder out and recorded it leaving the driveway and passing the house. I edited the clips together so you guys could hear the new exhaust:

Alittle loud. Kinda sounds like the car has a massive exhaust leak, but I like it better than the grandma exhaust it had on it before.

Looks good with the rs wheels

Dude sounds awesome. Looks good to. Is this stock ride height and is the ride pretty good even with those low profile wheels?

 

BTW sounds like you hit the curb when you came in but awesome camera footage XD

Looks and sounds like you hit the curb a little with your front end.

Yeah, i always brush that curb when I pull into my driveway

 

The ride hieght is stock. The tires arent low profile, they are 205/55R16's.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Where about CA do you live? Used to live in Sacramento, on O'Donnell Ave. (or is it Street, forgot), where I first bought my '91 Leggy for $200.00. It had 148,xxx miles at that time. It's now 248,xxx.

I live in Citrus Heights. Its a part of Sacramento County.

sweet sound. the startup sounded like a musclecar! do you know exactly what kind of muffler it is? my Legacy's Muffler is rusting out so I'm looking for a good sound, and yours is the best so far.

its just a straight pipe with a tip on it. But it sounds better than the stock muffler.

 

 

All it is, is a piece of pipe welded past the CV with a tip welded to it. So, in effect, there is no muffler at all. Just straight pipe.

 

I got it from a friend. He ran it on his '93 impreza. It bolted right up, the hangers lined up too except for the hangers at the tip of the exhaust. Those are about 4" too short, and the entire exhaust is about 4" too short... so the tip doesnt even reach the bumper.

Get your money back... what a scam!

Suggest adding an extension to the end of the tailpipe to make up for that missing 4 inches. Otherwise, carbon deposits will dirty up your bumper cover with black soot, and the heat may distort the plastic bumper cover over time. I know, that is what I encountered on my VW a few years back.

 

Yea, the engine sounds mean and great for a while, however you will want to listen to your radio or a CD, but the exhaust noise gets in the way. The extra length on the tailpipe will quiet the system down a little inside the car, but well worth it to get the best of both worlds of a sweet sounding car, and a low restriction muffler system.

Believe me... my stereo is PLENTY loud And with the car being an automatic I can keep the revs low enough to keep disturbance down, but where is the fun in that?

Thanks for the joke! Hehhehehe....

Brian, small world, she looks like one of my T-wagons

(will get a picture this week) sans the RS wheels.

They are on my SS.

Nice lookin' ride!!

 

Funny how all three of my T-Legs sound like yours.

 

For some strange reason the rear mufflers all fell off

right after I got them?????**

 

On my SS I added a Flowtech resonated twin tip -

mellows the rumble just a bit. ~ 35 clams

 

 

 

 

**Well maybe the sawzall has something to do with it??

hahaha... skip

 

I like the single tip better than the dual tip look. One other reason I did this was cause one of the dual tips on my stock muffler had lost its tip.
