So, here's the scoop. I need a new muffler. Some may recall my cat issues awhile back. I hate doing exhaust work, and the whole system is sketchy anyhow. I plan on replacing everything underneath. Has anyone used the Borla 14885? Trust me, I'm not buying it unless I can get it for wholesale. The rest of the system was going to consist of the epay header (which I just checked and is no longer there), new 02 sensors, and a NAPA cat pipe. I am open to suggestions, and am curious about your experiences.

What motor EJ25 or H6?

 

I'm exploring ideas for new exhaust for my H6 OBW. I swa an ebay header for the H6 this week, and saw the EJ25 stuff too.

 

I searched and found very little info on folks doing this. I saw on the outback boards where some folks said they bought it, but never installed it and never followed up. That was it.

 

I've seen threads where folks replaced the mufflers with all sorts of stuff and everyone had good comments on doing it with a variety of different mufflers, even on the H6 which has the goofy bypass valve actuator thing in it. So apparently it's no big deal to not have it.

Well, the way I figure it, the dealer is absolutely out of the question, as are run of the mill muffler shops. I went through that on a Civic, and the crap only lasted 6mo. I have used NAPA stuff in the past, and it is very close to OEM. I have a Magnaflow on my truck; it's SS and very nice. However, I find no listings for OBWs. I would like to go Borla, but I have to weigh out the life of the car vs. the expense of the exhaust. As mentioned before, I HATE doing exhaust work, so my plan is to cut everything off and start anew. I've seen a thread or 2 about the epay headers, and the fit seems to be good.

Oh yeah, it's an EJ25/ auto
