Scooby1 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hello, just got my first Impreza wrx (bugeye) so quite new to these cars. It has a straight through exhaust system but want to change it to something that won't **** of the neighbors but still give that nice burble sound. Any recommendations ? Cheers.

Scooby1 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Not very clued up on these, Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but is there any way of keeping the one I have but somehow make it less noisy? think it is 3/3.5 inch straight through.

stants Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 You can get a generic resonator from the bay and have your mid section cut and this welded in place Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkSTI Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 @Scooby1 I've got the standard sti exhaust, with a prodrive back box. It's nice and quiet when ticking over and cruising but sounds nice when you open it up. I'm going to do the resonator delete from the centre section to make it a touch noisier, but should still be fairly quiet with the cats and prodrive back box in place. Would recommend the prodrive if you want a subtle, fairly quiet exhaust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a prodrive back box and my mid section is looking a bit rusty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downpipe and small cat pipe look like there in really good condition, but my centre pipe and backbox were quite corroded. Got the shiney prodrive one to replace the sti one, now just on the lookout for a stainless de-resonated centre pipe. I've seen them on eBay for £89 but unsure what the quality will be like.
