so i was under my car today and i was looking at the exhaust. i thought to my self... why does my cars exhaust curve around that rear diff thing? all the other subys dont have them around the rear diff. so why us? the RS's dont... there catback almost has no bends in it.

i cant find a good pic at the time... but look at the rear diff

it has nothing on either side but our BE/BH has this bracket looking thing in the middle of the rear diff that our exhaust goes around it.

what would happen if you take that thing off? if we did now we can make easyier custom exhaust and maybe fit some impreza exhausts on, with little mods to the hangers.

sorry if it seems like a stupid idea... i am bored as hell and i was thinking about it

He's saying there's an unnecessary bend in the exhaust where the exhaust bends around the rear subframe, right next to the rear pumpkin.

i just double checked under my car and i can see that the bracket thing around the rear diff is welded into the rear subframe.

so i guess my crazy idea was kind of stupid....i feel like a retard now...lol

Yeah that's one of the suspension pickup points...I don't think you'd want to mess with that...

The gains would probably be negligible from that anyway.
