    They do make a kit for our cars to replace the interior lighting with L.E.D's though. I cant remember what page someone uploaded their DIY on "What have you done to your fourth generation today" Post.

    I believe Diode Dynamics makes a kit. RRev has a kit. Mine was pieced together on superbrightleds.com. I like the set I have. I also got the RRev Extreme LED reverse lights and they are fantastic. RRev also makes a really bright LED panel to replace the light in the trunk.

    Diode I believe is the vendor now. Before it was yourLEDshop. I did map, dome, plate, puddles and trunk(not pictured) I think it was like $50-$60 5 years ago still working.

    Really makes the car go to another level of awesome...Thanks. Since I have the Invidia up and down pipe with the factory exhaust will I have to install the unequal length header with and after market exhaust to get the "Subie Rumble" like my 95 BK or the cat back will give me the rumble without the header? My boy tells me the cat back will give me the rumble without the header...Thanks Merc6

    Thanks wasn't sure if I needed the header like my 2.2 in my BK. I miss the sound while driving the LGT. Too quiet for me except for the turbo spool.....

    This all the way up the 4 gen build for GT cars. An axle back may actually be enough depending on how loud you want to go. I went with Xo2 cans and was fine for a bit. I got bored then deleted the resonator in the midpipe. Years later I ended up adding resonators to the mid pipe because cold morning starts were brutal on the neighbors.

    Crazy how many cat backs are available for these LGT's. My car has no cats at all so once I find one it sounds like it is going to be a little loud. My BK has a cat but no resonator and the UEL Header as well. And I have a Magnaflow and love how it sounds. You cant even hear the car idle but when you are throttled up it is still enjoyable and not obnoxious. I have been on you tube listening to lGT's with cat backs and it is hard to make a decision. Price is optional as well starting at $300 -$900 for full systems. I don't have to worry about neighbors

    Most of the cheaper exhaust systems have garbage fitment. One muffler hanging lower than the other and both too far down in the bumper cutouts. Those things can be dealt with by any competent exhaust shop, but they add to the cost of the exhaust. Just something to consider.

    I'm a fan of Nameless Performance. They're reasonably priced, their products are excellent quality, and they are local to me here in WA state.

    If you look closely at the gimmick catback you'll see its almost identical to the DNA catback. The only difference is that gimmick engraved gms in the tips. Both are made in the same Chinese plant and shipped to their respective distributors, and both will have the fitment issues I mentioned earlier.

    I ended up with aero cans and unknown(not a brand name at all like "Nameless") resonators. I am going to swap the resonators out for a muffler to quiet it down some more once the car is running strong.

    Ok so that means stay away. It sounds like the Magnaflow might be my route since im happy with them now. And being a reputable outfit since these no-namer's that I posted might lead to issues down the road.

    Sounds a lot tighter. Not too raspy....My personal taste (no offense) I don't like the dual tip outlet look.

    If I were to purchase either of the two you posted it would be the DNA catback, simply because it's almost half the cost for the same product. I would just go into it knowing that I was going to have to visit an exhaust shop to have the hangers reworked. For me that would be about $40 at the shop I take my cars to, your cost may vary depending on your relationship with shops.

    Well they are Stainless which makes you wonder how did they price them so cheap using that material. I have an awesome cheap exhaust place here that wouldn't be an issue. I like the blue tips as well.

    Bulk purchasing and cheap labor have a lot to do with it I'm sure.

    Just shopping around looks like a minimum of $800 for any system that is a mainstream brand. That including Nameless Performance as well. But you get what you pay for....
    Our lug pattern on our cars is 5 x 100 right?

    Yes it is 5x100.

    If I was going to spend the money on an exhaust my money would go to the SPT catback. But I also like that it's not terribly loud like some of the other options. I don't want my car screaming at everyone while I'm just cruising through town.

    Bending hangars isn't that bad, it's just awful if you are trying to do this under a car on jack stands.

    Dual/Quad tip isn't for everyone. Actually debating on it for the DD as well.

    I like the dual/quad tip look. But I got my TurboXS mufflers for a steal. I am very happy with the sound and the quality of them. Mine are 10 years old and have nearly zero rust on them.

    Another question for you guys. This time about the floor mats. What Subaru rubber weather mats or Weather Tech floor mats will swap out of other models that will work in our fourth generation Legacies? Im looking into a set but would like to see what Craigs List has to offer first?
