EXHAUST QUESTION

As most of you guys know i have a 94 wrx motor in my 95 impreza l, i have been looking around for a while now for a full exhaust, from downpipe back and i can''t find very many systems for my year of car, yes i could get a 2.5 exhaust, but i want to have at least 3" piping. my exhaust is kind of pieced together right now and i want to get a nice clean full system. i am not sure how similar the 02-03 wrx exhaust is to the gc8 i know it's close but not sure if you could make it work. so if anyone knows of any exhaust that would work for me let me know, Thanks alot, Ryan

 

drop by my shop.. I have a polished stainless 3 in cat back that we could hang and see oif it will fit... it is a Volt brand from Arvin Meritor.. would cut you a deal on it (it is for an 03 WRX)

 

i wish i was as easy as to drop by but since i live up in brainerd i am probably at least 3 hours away, i am hoping someone in the forum has checked to see if the wrx exhaust will fit on the older imprezas. thanks though.

 

Just go to an exhaust shop... One with a mandrel bender and I'm sure they'll make you one that fits.

 

that's what i have on now, my exhaust is just not deep enough sounding for me i want to have that deep rumble that makes me love subarus so much

 

A new muffler should do it, and a straight pipe if you don't have one already.

 

look up some JDM parts places. like i think its bulletproofautomotive.com that sell JDM parts. so you can get JDM WRX exhaust made for the GC style wrxs. might be kind of expensive but will be totally unique and awsome

 

if you have aftermarket headers on your swap, you'll never have the deep subaru sound

 

if you do make sure they arent EQUAL length cause that is what takes out the boxer rumble.. which is basically the exhaust pulsating at different timing through your exhaust...

 

But the benefits on the equal lenght is more power rather than sound

 

incorrect, maybe partially true in the N/A world, but only by maybe 1-3 but those 1-3 HP cost about 600+ more dollars then unequal

 

bah sound is more important that 3 hp even more important then 10 hp to me

 

keep inmind if you have a JDM downpipe you will most likely need a JDM esuast as the JDM ans USDM downpipes are diffrent lenghts.

 

i have found a full turbo back exhaust on ebay UK , blue flame is the brand looks very high quality, costs about 330 pounds so, about 500-600 dollars, and that's without the shipping cost of overseas, i would love to buy that but i don't want to pay that much for exhaust, oh yeah, i still have the stock header and uppipe on my car with stock gutted downpipe.

 

stock as in came w/ the swap or stock as form a 02-05 USDM wrx?

 

stock jdm, i got a front clip so everything was there, 94 wrx

 

ahhh jdm downpipe is shorter than a usdm one i believe.

 

yeah, not as many cats, less emissions over there.

 

yep. i know you can get the buddy club spec III for your car. i think passwordjdm.com sells it. weighs about 14 lbs for the cat back.

 

Blue Flame is an awesome awesome exhaust! i had it on my yamaha R6.
