dont know what exhaust to buy

[sweetassmove]

I'm looking to buy a exhaust with in the next week or so but dont know what to get???, everything says there the best any good ideas's?, anywhere around nottingham to get it installed??

[Kevin]

um what kind of exhuast are you looking for stealthy or balls out loud? catback or turboback? If you go with a turboback you might want to think about a catless up pipe. I have had around 9 diffrent setups so far between my 04 wrx and 06 sti. on the install its real easy diy.

[sweetassmove]

a catback, i want loud but not over loud, if ya know wat i mean, dont want it to sound ****ty also, is it better to have a turbo back then catback?

[Kevin]

a turbo back is better but you can do it in stages. it all depends on how much money you want to put into your car.
the best catback had so far was cobb catback. also if you go with a turbo back you have to think about going catted or catless.

[sweetassmove]

im thinking like 700 around there for right now, need ot save alittle more, but do i need new pipes and stuff for turbo back

[f1vlad]

SPT catback.

[FreakBurrito]

If you do a turboback, you're going to want some engine management. I'd recomend getting on Nasioc and checking out Unabombers Manifesto. it's good stuff.

If you want a cheap cat-back that has good performance then you can go with this one:

Plenty of ClubWRXers are happy with it:

Sure it's a no name but who cares unless you're a car show person. To me, it's a hunk of medal that nobody can see any way. As long as the performance is on par that's all that really matters.

I'm actually going to order one soon, then do a downpipe and some engine management.

The Cobb Catback is still my favorite. THE best sound.

[Kevin]

the cobb was a great exhuast on my sti.
It was low key and sounded great. I bought mine off peter at pltek I think for 640.

[Kevin]

oh ya I have one of those ebay catbacks real cheap if you want that. My car should be out of the shop anyday now so I can take it off.
here is the for sale link.http://www.seacoastsubarus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1662

My vote is prodrive. It's perfect. All you here is the rumble of the enigine. It's quite enough that cops won't look twice, but loud enough when you get on it so you can hear it. And best of all, it's not annoying when your taking long highway drives.

Why don't we have a meet some time so you can hear everyones exhaust and choose for your self?

[Kevin]

prodrive is in my room waiting to go on.
I think proxy seen my sti when it had the cobb catback shooting flames on rt1.

[Robk0000]

i thought this was covered already?

[2gnt2wrx]

I would go with the ebay erz greddy spec2 knockoff. Like a few people have said its just a pipe. I have a tenabe super medallion hyper, Its quiet but rumbly. The only reason why i bought it was it was only $200 used of course.

Yea, I mean I don't seem much differences in the actual performance from pipe to pipe. What I do notice is sound difference. So really if you're not a name brand whore then go with what sounds good. I like the sound of that ebay exhaust and it performs well and the price is dam good for what you get.

Brian: You don't need no engine management for catback. You only need that if you add downpipe to the mixture.

Vlad are you on drugs? Turboback exhausts, as Brain mentioned, inlcude the Downpipe and need engine management.

[f1vlad]

I think so, I thought Tortilla said catback :) sorry Brian. I just woke up.

[TrickyDik]

lolz

[Robk0000]

i had nachos last night, yumm.

[mdungelman]

[Nate8409]

Just because I haven't done it doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about ;-P

It's ok, I understand, Everyone is talking about Catbacks and I throw in the almost non sensical turboback.

I can't find the one without music, but thats a link to my car. You get a good idea of what a prodrive sounds like.

[mdungelman]

I thought it was spelled starring. Ibtehsearchdictionarydotcom.:)

[Jon]

good catch. if i made the video it would have sucked, but at least the spelling would have been right!!

[mdungelman]

Maybe Maya should have someone spell-check. Good vid though. Your car sounds good Jon. Is that just a cat-back?

[Robk0000]

i need to get my exhast fixed...its driving me crazy. Not only does it sound like a v10 with straight pipes on a cold day, but its giving me ****ty gas mileage.

[Jon]

HKS Downpipe and an axle back prodrive.

[Kevin]

I just threw my prodrive round tip on with invidia V2 catless dp and sti midpipe. real stealthy till you get on it. I want to get the maddad 3"-2.5" midpipe with out the resonater. I'll get some clips and pics when I get a chance.
here is a little vid
