Right i have a bloody big exhaust and its a straight through, no cats or anything and its getting on my t1ts so need to quieten the car down, now my question is do i put the cats back on or get sports cat or whats best??? its a blob wrx and im completely lost on exhaust parts so any help will be so appreciated

 

Thank **** for that


I think I had an afterburner vortex on mine. I eventually chucked the f*cking thing in the bin and put the standard STI back box on. It was a million times better and doesn't **** me and all the neighbours off anymore. The downside is that it takes me 0.04 seconds longer to get to work.

 

Switch it off

 

can you live with that though isnt that about a lifetime in scooby ownership lol, so sti backbox and whats the rest of your exhaust and does it still give a burble?

 

just buy a resonated centre section. that will make it quieter without loosing the burble

 

In my particular case I was completely standard bar the backbox which was the only mod that the previous owner had made. He did it simply to amplify the burble, and it bloody did to the extreme. The burble is still there now, it's just a whole lot more subtle and makes driving the car a far more pleasant experience and much more socially acceptable. To be honest, I really can't tell a difference in performance.

I only posted because it's refreshing to hear that I am not the only person that doesn't feel the need for stupid exhausts on this forum.

 

+1 or if you have a custom exhaust place I bet they could add one to your current system

 

cheers bud, now at the risk of sounding very dim what is one of them? also any link to one on the bay please

one of these only find a cheeper one. or as others said have a resonator box welded in the front section

 

look at this monstrosity

 

ahhh right i see, the **** who had this car before me has had the back box welded to the centre pipe and a total bodge job so really need whole new exhaust but fk knows what im looking at

 

I think mine was worse
Crap picture, it doesn't show the stock one very well.

 

fk me, if i had that id be scared of losing one of the kids up it when they play out

 

sound apart that exhaust looks ****, angle doesnt work on newages.
bin it and put a sensible resonated system on it.

 

A resonated centre would do you wonders. If you don't want to revert to a completely standard sound, pick up a backbox by the likes of Prodrive or TSL - better than stock, but not loud.

 

Japspeed will do a whole system mine is track day legal so still a little loud but not horribly so

 

This is with no interior etc so would be alot quieter on a normal car


I wouldnt compare outside sounds too much as mine uses a totally different manifold etc, it will keep the burble on yours though

 

cheers for all the info and help guys, how many pieces will a full wrx exhaust come in, is it 1 up pipe, 1 middle pipe and 1 backbox or am i missing something?

 

down pipe, not up pipe, changing the up pipe involves taking the turbo out
