Chrissian Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Hi , my 2005 legacy 3.0rn estates exhaust has just started to blow ive had a quote off subaru for around £1200 (cat back system) dont want to go to kwik fit style places and have the 2.5l system fitted in their ignorance. i would like a stainless system fitted but i wnat to keep the factory quietness(getting to old for noise) does any one know of a place in coventry area (will go to brum if i have to!!!) cheers Ian
tom_gr7 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 My exhaust is blowing too, as there's a hole in it. I'm looking at getting a custom exhaust from a longlife dealer mate. You can tell them exactly what sound/style you want. You could also look at powerflow, but im not sure if they are any good or not.
Chrissian Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 just to add , ive got a couple o quotes from custom dealers and they range from £400 to around£1100! just want to know if anyone recommends a dealer also do you all know that subaru now offer a "subaru second line of exhausts" they are made of stainless steel and are CHEAPER than their standard range!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT they dont do the center y section for mine :angry: :angry:
Boots819 ian Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Longlife made my centre y section, but I've got prodrive back boxes,I think it paid £260 but that was trade 1
david1972 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I have a long life cat back system and love it. Just go on their site and put your postcode in to find your nearest dealer. Mine cost £425 all in Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
Rich R Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 If you don't want stainless, you can get complete cat back systems (centre silencer, Y-pipe and both back boxes) for under £150 including shipping. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Outback-3-0-Subaru-Legacy-3-0R-24V-4x4-exhaust-system-silencer-3528-/321754044440?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4aea091818 Might be something to consider to tide you over until you can find a stainless one to your liking.
BIGD Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 You can get a power flow stainless cat back for £280 upwards Had a few now and had no problems Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
