Uhhhhh Open Down pipe=headache - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Clippersfan86 · 2010-04-30, 02:39 PM

Ok so i'm selling my exhaust very soon and while I did brake swap I had the catback taken off so I can clean it up and sell it. I do like how pissed off it sounds but I have a massive headache from the fumes as well as the volume. Like... the ENTIRE car shakes when I go 50 percent throttle. I'm not sure i'll last like 2 days with it like this. You guys were so right before you said said open DP is just too much ; (. Like I said sounds badass... but like WAY WAY too loud.

That sucks. I've sheered my exhaust headers on my rally car twice , 3" past where they bolt onto the motor. I could drown out harley's at just 1/2 throttle , it was painful with a helmet on..

on a similar type subject how restrictive is a stock WRX muffler (its 2" in right?)

or how restrictive is the Stock STI muffler , is that 2.5 or 2" ? i'm thinking of putting one onto my rally car exhaust. the exhaust now feels great, (but its too loud) i don't want to hurt the performance but its too loud.

i know Dean likes the super craps.. but it will cost me more than re-using my old muffler or swaping for wrx. and i think it sorta muddies the exhaust sound in a weird way ...

I could dyno before and after...

but that would be a waste of cash me thinks

The 2005 STi that I have is 2.5". I have a 2003 WRX can on the N/A 2.2, it sounds nice.

Stock STI piping is 2.5 inches all the way stock WRX is 2.25 all the way. Yea lol I passed a Harley guy at 35 or so percent throttle and was louder and he stared at me. He's used to being the obnoxious guy around! I notice a loss in top end but a tiny bit quicker spool btw. I don't even like top end.. because it's too damn loud. Like 3k-4k rpms I would bet is louder than a Blitz Nur at WOT. I can't believe just how loud it is. At 2k RPM my entire cabin vibrates.

YouTube- wrx with open dp

Exactly how it sounds inside cabin but that video doesn't express just how loud the damn set up is ; \. I'm running catless DP btw and 06's come catless UP. It's so insane. It pops like an SRT4 too.

Owie, owie , owie. think I'm getting a head ache now... lmao

How long are you stuck like that? oh you need a cat huh? i have access to my stock sti cat back but if you're gonna fix it with in a few days there's no point

Clippersfan86 · 2010-04-30, 03:20 PM
