How's that canister sound?

[evolegacy]

How's that canister sound?


raspy after 3k rpms cuz it only has 1 cat, but has a nice baffle to it. exhaust leak at the headers does not give the sound any justice atm though so cant really say how it sounds on this car. When it was on the 98 though it sounded like a honda ~_~

[Reason]

Yea I have a loud deep note but there's rasp when I ouch it. I think I need to add another HFC or resonated but that's a project for another car.

well like I said I think i might just go back to my magnaflow set up i had previously that sounded fine with just 1 cat, this is the muffler I had on it

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/04/14832-1.jpg

that with the genuine borlas and 2.5" exhaust sounded pretty nice....I honestly dont know why i got rid of it outside of the fact the borlas broke right in half at the flange.

[mycargoesvroom]

I have Borla reps with a Magnaflow Muffler and an SPT tip and it's really, really deep. Kinda sounds like I'm driving a truck and I don't really care for it.

[evolegacy]

honestly my old set up didnt sound like a truck at all, was very nice, this youtube clip i found doesnt have the best sound quality but its just about the same setup as the one I had

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uoc0cPJI ... er&list=UL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uoc0cPJIiqw&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL)

All in all, i made an oops going from that to the OBX expecting the car to sound nice, before the cat got broken in, it did sound nice, but now like I stated before, after 3k it gets really raspy and ricey.

Did you do a full cat-back exhaust or just get an axleback done for the muffler? that might be your issue there.

[mycargoesvroom]

It's a full catback. I listened to that clip yesterday just fishing around youtube :D

[evolegacy]

It's a full catback. I listened to that clip yesterday just fishing around youtube :D


does it sound anything like yours at all?

[mycargoesvroom]

Kinda but not really. Mine is really, really deep.

I'll go out tomorrow and take a quick video of mine for comparison.

[evolegacy]

yay....noticed that the clutch was slipping a couple days ago. Got home last night and was hearing a squeak in the bell housing when my foot was off the clutch.....figured the kid before me beat the snot out of the car and grinded gears (was prolly a honda kid prior rofl), oh wells, 1 more for this summer's project list :3

DNA motoring on Ebay, 120 shipped. and thanks, its a major difference driving a stick over an auto and im loving it. this summer's projects include changin the exhaust and getting the body fixed up.

[bulldozer24]

looks great, what did you use to tint your tails.

[evolegacy]

looks great, what did you use to tint your tails.

the tails were from my 98, I used the niteshade tint spray and did 2 very light coats. When i sprayed them the first time a couple of years ago with 1 thick spray it came out sick but illegal as hell XD. You can get the can at your local auto shop.

[redlegacygt]

haha nice! i have the same muffler! and i think it sounds great..

[evolegacy]

haha nice! i have the same muffler! and i think it sounds great..

like i said previously, i had this before with a custom setup and im still kicking myself in the ass for getting rid of it

[evolegacy]

Powerslot Rotors from the 98 got installed finally, but the rust/metal that got shredded by the old rotor is fused into the paint on my wheel, so gotta sand and repaint the front driver wheel, might just repaint them all or acetone them to get the silver back, not sure yet.

[redlegacygt]

ya, just waiting for Magnaflow to send me my HFC so i can put it together. Im hoping to get this done BEFORE the meet....would be pretty embarrasing to roll up sounding like a civic with a bad exhaust leak x.x

which mangaflow model is that?

I'm looking to change my stock one out and my headers this weekend.

[evolegacy]

part number is #14832, I am also getting a High flow cat from magnaflow and borla Rep Headers

[1-3-2-4]

haha I was going to get that same one for my outback wagon it's hard to find how it sounds with UEL headers.. I wont bother with a high flow since I have to do emissions and plus I think it makes it sound raspy anyways right?

[evolegacy]

yes and no, if its raspy ill put a 2nd one in, but my old set up was the same way, no resonator but it was 2.5" piping instead of 2.25", i know of a couple sound clips that show off the sound, one of them should be on this topic already, or just go to magnaflow.com and sample the sound clips for subarus, thats the relative tone your gonna get

[Reason]

Its not hard to find, he got it from me.

[evolegacy]

Its not hard to find, he got it from me.

as well as most of what i'll be modding this car with :smt023

[1-3-2-4]

the muffler is not hard to find but a hi flow that wont make you fail emissions.

[evolegacy]

HFC just arrived at Reason's place, gotta find a day to go pick it up and then make an apt. with the local shop to get everything put on.

[1-3-2-4]

Hmm my magnaflow came yesterday as well but hmm looks like I need a reducer this piping does not look 2.25"

[evolegacy]

Hmm my magnaflow came yesterday as well but hmm looks like I need a reducer this piping does not look 2.25"

what did you buy? same as mine?

[1-3-2-4]

the 14832

[evolegacy]

the 14832


hm lemme check mine real quick

[1-3-2-4]

the stock piping on my car (axleback) is 1 7/8 hell as far forward as the 2nd cat is 1.875"

[Reason]

Yay, I'm curious to hear how the exhaust comes out.

[1-3-2-4]

I did not know magnaflow had a HFC? I checked on the site and I see nothing about them

[Reason]

Sure they do, I have one on my car already. I had WI make me a custom J pipe. I want to add a second since my exahaust is a little too free flowing. Mike if you want one hit me up.

[evolegacy]

ya you have to custom order the HFCs, they arent listed on there website. As for the muffler, the inner dia. is 2.25, the thickness of the metal is like, 1/8 or something, and the overall size of the pipe is 2.5"

[1-3-2-4]

I got the magnaflow on.. really need UEL headers to make it sound good. I willl post the sound clip and video later.

[1-3-2-4]

and this one going under a underpass

So 2.5 GT's have a 2.5" overall inlet pipe size? Will be needing this info when I look for a new exhaust.

[1-3-2-4]

No he's talking about the inlet size for the magnaflow.. the size of the pipe on this car is 1- 7/8"

[evolegacy]

No he's talking about the inlet size for the magnaflow.. the size of the pipe on this car is 1- 7/8"

yep, thats what i meant

[evolegacy]

and this one going under a underpass

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R7U329Ahaw

O rofled at your comment to yourself after you redlined it in the underpass....I miss that sound BUT you have to get UELs to really get the subie note. I'll post up vids once my stuff gets done, just trying to figure out when i can go down to get my HFC from reason then get a quote on getting it all installed

[1-3-2-4]

yeah man I miss my UEL headers :(

I'm curious to hear what yours sounds like with the HFC

and I just thought of something this HFC is it the replacement for the first or the second one?

[evolegacy]

yeah man I miss my UEL headers :(

and I just thought of something this HFC is it the replacement for the first or the second one?

Actually all 3 lol. The 99 had 3 cats and currently hates me for only having 1. Gonna see how she sounds first and if its too raspy then ill add another cat. Most likely ill have to get an o2 spacer to get rid of the cel

[1-3-2-4]

Oh man I never knew that haha I'm curious how it's going to sound keep us posted

[evolegacy]

Oh man I never knew that haha I'm curious how it's going to sound keep us posted

lol well once Reason actually lets me get down to his place to pick up the HFC and I get back from my trip ill let you know

[1-3-2-4]

I have a spare cat that was going to go on the other legacy but fits on here I was thinking about gutting it or gutting enough that it still has some catalyst left

[evolegacy]

bore it out, clean it out so its straight thru but still has the honeycomb on the inside walls

[1-3-2-4]

Ok sounds good

[Reason]

Thought you are coming down tuesday?

That muffler sounds stock on my phone. And mike if you have your stock cats on still the UEL wont make too much of a difference. You will get a little something, but depends on what you are looking for.

My current set up is a UEL header (wrap falling off) 2.5" pipping all the way, magnaflow HFC, 36"-38" cherrybomb glass pack and Megan In muffler. It is a good set up if I slapped a small turbo kit on. But its too raspy up high, I will get a second HFC to put in. Hopefully it will sound better. If not I have another exhaust set up I've been planning for EVOs GT when it was mine.

[1-3-2-4]

I was looking at this hopefully it will sound something like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsquZZLU ... tfEl0TCapE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsquZZLU3Z4&feature=mh_lolz&list=LL0tfEl0TCapE)

[Reason]

Is that someone on here? It sounds good, its quiet and has a nice rumble to it. Mine is loud, border line obnoxious since the removal of the stock cats.

[1-3-2-4]

Nah I don't think so I was just searching on youtube one night for outbacks with magnaflows.. however I can't tell if he has stock cats or not.

Do the UEL headers increase how much the exhaust pops?

[evolegacy]

been a while since I updated soooo......

*takes a deep breath in*

- The exhaust got installed, sounds good minus this slurpish sound that I seem to be getting from the front of the car (possibly the water pump in need of replacement or exhaust leak that I have yet to find)
- The sounds and vibrations ive been getting from inside the cabin are most likely a bad rear wheel bearing, and after replacing the rear Diff fluid and the old fluid looking good, this only adds to my assumptions, will be getting that taken care of sometime in the near future.
- This winter's bitter temperatures have made the motor's minor flaws easier to hear, i.e. piston slap on cold starts and the intense ticking sound from the injectors....typically old ass subie
- I have an undiscovered power issue, either the battery, alternator, or both are dying. The battery is fairly new, no more than 2 years old and from the previous leggy I had, so my guess is the alt, will get those tested when I have time off
- T-stat seems to be getting stuck closed, causing my hoses to seep coolant, already ordered new silicone hoses and a grimmspeed T-Stat, both will be installed within the next few weeks once they are in my possession.
- Clutch and Flywheel are basically gone, already making arrangements with reason to order a kit along with new pilot bearing, oil seperater plate, and rear main seal. Planning to do a full fluid flush of all systems as well while taking care of these somtime in feb or march when I get my tax returns
- The rust war continues and since its too cold to do too much I only was able to get around to covering up 1 of the areas with some fiberglass and bondo before the cold hit, the rest will get done eventually but not until AFTER I get the mechanics of the car at 100%

*exhales heavily*

so ya, very unproductive winter and bad overall for the car, but its typical of these older gen 2 legs, specially when the previous owners were crazed teens thinking they could make quick, go-fast cars and not take care of the necessities

[1-3-2-4]

Yea temps are cold I'm hoping when i get my replacement trans I'm going to drop in a front LSD at the same time and kill two birds with one stone.

[evolegacy]

sry i've been dead to the world here on the forums, 40+ hours a week with random changing work days along with other projects that i've been trying to do has been keeping me busy. But just a quick update for now, I just purchased over $1200 in parts for the car using my tax returns, going to be doing tranny work and a few other things as well. Reason Helped me out and I went through him to get all the parts, just an FYI, his deals are legit the best you can probably go for....All these parts would have probably cost me over $2000 to get on my own.

In any case, here's the list, I am doing more but I only had enough $$ to get this atm

Thermo-Tec Graphite black exhaust wrap
Thermo-Tec High heat wrap coating black
GrimmSpeed Blue LW crank pulley
Grimspeed T stat
H&R springs
Genuine Subaru rear main seal
Rear oil separator plate
Genuine Subaru valve cover gaskets
Genuine Subaru spark plug grommets
Competition Clutch stage 1 clutch kit
Competition clutch LW flywheel
redline shock proof
Redline gear oil
Redline PS fluid
Motul brake fluid
GrimmSpeed header gaskets
Gates PS/Atl belt
Techna-fit SS clutch hose

Reason and myself are going to jump on this project sometime in early march, should be fun and I'll be posting pics of the progress as it gets done.

[Reason]

Fun!!!

[Navi271]

Awesome parts list! That'll keep you busy for a few days.

I'm still waiting on my H&R springs, they're back ordered til March 16. I wonder if yours will be too?

[1-3-2-4]

I just did this a few days ago!

Just standing around or did the engine not want to come loose?

[grayguy]

what the heck is this thing?

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/03/20120310_112018_494-1.jpg

[Reason]

That is a GrimmSpeed crank pulley removal tool on a breaker bar. It mad the pulley swap EASY... Well worth the money

[grayguy]

So thats just to hold the pulley while you impact the bolt out? Interesting _

[Reason]

Yes, we used that and a 22mm on a 1/2 in ratchet and came off easily. Torqued back down fast, it also came in handy doing the flywheel bolts.

[evolegacy]

I just did this a few days ago!

Just standing around or did the engine not want to come loose?

motor didnt want to come loose,....and I also forgot to take out the last stud which was well hidden, we ended up cracking the bell housing on the motor side of the split, but nothing serious enough to cause any harm

where's the rest of the pics reason? I'm sure we took more

[grayguy]

For future referance, putting a breaker bar on the crank bolt, wedging the breaker bar against the floor, and disconnecting the coil and bumping the starter is also an excellent in car solution. I've never had one I couldn't break loose with an impact when the motor was out tho, same goes for the flywheel bolts.

[Reason]

Yea grey we know, but this was easier and quicker. Not the whole job but yea lol

[grayguy]

I assumed you do, i just like to pass on the numerous Subaru hints we have discovered.

So was this the newer style tranny with the extra bolts? if so, i feel your pain, I fought with a tranny for hours once because I didn't know they added more attachments in 99'

[evolegacy]

it was your standard 8 bolt setup but we only counted 7 and up until we saw the crack, assumed we took out all of them :-/ (we as in myself >.>) we have more pics but my other camera guy seems to be MIA currently

[Reason]

I have more, ill get the read up when I can.

[grayguy]

I've only ever pulled on tranny that had more than the standard 4 haha

[Reason]

I think mid 99 they switched from 4 bolts to 8.

That's kind of funny actually. My motor also did not want to come loose at some point, and I ended up with a cracked/chipped bell housing on the transmission side. Also nothing serious and it's running in my car just fine now. Silly motors...

lol ill take a pic of it and show you mine >.<

heading back to Reason's place due to bad chatter noises coming from the bellhousing while coasting in gear, think we installed the throw out bearing wrong. Plus the Stage 1 clutch just arrived (the right one this time) so that's gotta go in, along with wrapping my headers. Hopefully all goes well ^^

for now, a pic for you guys ^^

neither did I, we let the Saab guy do that *idiot move >.<* Im just hoping its only that and not something wrong with the tranny itself.

[TurboSaab]

Im the Saab guy he speaks of. BUT the throw out was installed correctly, it was just a cheap POS, these two fools seem to forget how many times i pulled through for them on these two motor pulls :P

[Reason]

You did great Mikey lol

[evolegacy]

rofl jackasses, anyways.....

tranny noise it be, the throw out bearing was indeed no good but the noise is still there, possible syncros? Old man thinks that but wants me to check the drive shaft and U-joints first since we did man handle the motor pretty badly last time we pulled it out. Wrapped the headers but didnt have enoug (aka used to much in certain spots) to wrap the whole thing, but definately quiets down the front end a bit, and notice the exhaust tone change a bit, sounds better ^^. Got my springs from Reason, but the suspension project is on hold until I can get the wheel bearing fixed and the alt and starter replaced. The tranny isnt a big deal atm since its just noise and its annoying as hell

I almost ended up buying a 02 wrx but it had blown struts and a bad auto tranny >.<

Aw that sucks.. funny thing is I've never heard anything bad about the auto versions I know the manual was always called the glass tranny.
