Fuggzy Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 The exhaust came today, gonna see if it can get it slapped on later (ill take some pictures too) on a positive note I will have the old back box thingy which is a proper STI part. I know most people won't be interested in the centre section. But for someone with a WRX a genuine STI back box might be nice, it's got a pretty large bore on it, so with decats etc it would probably sound good. Oh and as I got the othe cat back system it was slightly cheaper so I got a HKS panel filter to go in too !!
Jay762 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Are you going to do a before and after video so we can hear the sound difference??? 1
Gambit Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Are you going to do a before and after video so we can hear the sound difference??? Top question of the week goes to.......... Jay! I like this idea :D
Fuggzy Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 Here's a pic of before and after. I I'd take one from the same angle. But about 30 seconds before I dropped ,y phone and cracked the !Removed! screen (wounded!) so it came out blurry. On a positive note the car now sounds like a scooby should. With a lovely burble at tick over, and that lovely subaru warble when it's moving. Then turning into a battle cry when you boot it ! And the hks panel filter has allowed a little more turbo noise to come through too. Thanks to the spec D's extra little bit of sound proofing it doesn't make it a horrible place to be with a noisey booming exhaust coming through. All in all, very very happy. I can understand now why you all love these cars so much, I've really clicked with it. And man oh man my little man adores it. I know I didn't get a before or after video of the exhaust, I will video my 20 month so you can all see what he says when I ask him what daddy's car says. You will love it, I promise 2
Gambit Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Looks good from the pictures. And like the sound of the video :)
Jay762 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 That does look a great improvement surprised how shabby the original looks but I guess that is what original model compromise is about, cheaper materials lower cost etc. yup that vid sounds like it will be a smile generator ;)
Fuggzy Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 I'll attempt to get the pooping and puking sound effects machine to do his thang later lol If anyone fancies the old back box they're welcome to it, seems a shame to bin it. It's a little crusty but still works fine
