Default Exhaust Recommendations?

Hello Everyone, I am new to the forum, and am after some advise.

I have just bought a 2008 Subaru Impreza 1.5r. its a lovely car, and when new someone spent quite a lot on the extras, it has the xpack, wrx alloys pearl white paint etc..

Anyway, as much as I am loving the car, it just sounds so quiet. It has the 1.5 boxer engine (non Turbo), does anyone know of any exhaust options / systems that will make my car burble, and sound more as an Impreza should?

Thanks in advance guys.

I would imagine there aren't too many demands for modifying the 1.5L, your best bet would be to get a custom backbox made, which should set you back about £120 for stainless

That's the option I was thinking, I have had a stainless one made before for a previous car from Longlife. I was really pleased with the result.

I keep seeing posts online about uneven headers, and was unsure if i needed these ?

I think I will try a different back box and see how that goes.

Hi,
Don't spend your money for the 1.5.Now if you like to do something then you can make a back box.
Ask at Chris Tullet exhausts,Alunox,Simsons racing exhasuts and JCWeldfab.
From personal experience JCWeldfab is my 1st choice but the others are very good also.
A question wouldn't be bad but remember it will always be an 1.5 impreza...

the burble will come from unequal headers which I doubt yours will have
