subaru impreza gx exhaust

[chef1969]

hi what exhaust can I put on my impreza gx year 2002

[stants]

What are you after, more sound or better performance ?

You won't get the boxer burble as yours will have even length headers so unless you change them your stuck with the sound you have, you can change from the cat back for a stainelss system will make it a bit louder

[Jay762]

What is your budget as you could get a full stainless steel one made for your car or go off the shelf?

[chef1969]

thanks for getting back to me . want more sound and my budget is about £250

thanks

I'd start by changing the backbox then if it's still not to your liking you can always change the middle section at a later date

[chef1969]

the middle pipe is starting to blow so want to replace all of it just want to know what is the best exhaust to go for

[stants]

Ah ok, maybe get a quote from your local powerflow franchise they seem to do good stuff at reasonable prices, it's personal preference really loads of options on look sound etc

[chef1969]

would a new age gda exhaust fit my car

thanks

Were do you live? Exhaust uk in sheffield did my exhaust when I had a 2004 gx and it had the scooby rumble without changing the header.not exactly the same rumble as a turbo but still nice.

[aucky]

Forgot to say back box and middle pipe of a turbo will fit your car but if its a 3" pipe you will need a step up joint making as if I remember rite the gx is on 2", had 1 made for my classic 2.0sport I had that I put a turbo exhaust on, exhaust uk did that as well and prices are not bad.

excellent - keep a camera handy - or before and after videos would be great ;)

I was £300 from the cat-back at a custom stainless exhaust builder. Asked for a deep tone and not a boy racer loud sound. Sounds awesome and does have the burble. Not a turbo burble clearly but a distinctive boxer burble.

You can get a pair of headers on eBay for 250 but it's thinner stainless and with stainless being a harder metal is more prone to cracking than steel. I have however had stainless headers on a previous car and had no issues.

I'm not really sure how much point there is getting stainless headers though, as the gx is tuned to about as max as it'll go. Full stainless, filter and a remap will be lucky to give you about 5BHP. That verses the cost... sell your gx, get what your willing to spend on it and get a turbo.

I'm happy with my gx, has sti alloys and a nice exhaust but I too need to be realistic on what to spend on it.

Hello im new on this site i have a subaru gx will like to know if anyone has done a ecu remap on this cars before. Any advice appreciated

[stants]

@Vmf don't bother the n/a is pushing out just about all it can give, you'd be looking at 350-500 for a map which wouldn't really make the gains worthwhile, I'd spend the money on making it stop better and go round corners quicker
