Exhaust- just a little bit naughty

What would you guys recommend for exhaust that gives a little bit of 'rawr!' but not so obnoxious that it would annoy the neighbohood and the moms in their SUVs and minivans at the school parking lot?

I am loving the boxer rumble... just needs a little amplification!

Thanks!

XT = UEL headers, so you're good.

For more boxer rumble & a mellow roar, you could do what I did, add a custom Magnaflow axle back. You can view my installation write up here. A link to my exhaust clip is at the bottom of that post. :wink:

can sumeone give me a link to a magnaflow 3" that will work for the xt forester? bobby maybe? I know bobby has it on his forester..

I guesss a 3" midpipe is also neccessary, I have a full STI catback now but want to go 3" catback.. I was thinking the cobb or WBR sounds best, but maybe magnaflow for a lot less money.. the performance of these in comparison is very similar no?

I've got a Sebring exchaust on my tuned 2.5XT.
It gives the extra rarrww but not anoying. Driving with open windows in the parking garage is a lot of fun :) Lately I drove next to a Honda Civic from the early '90 with a tuned exchaust. The police let me passed and stopped the Honda.

That reminds me of this one time when we were running a TSD road rally, and we pulled up to a standoff located at a lookout point, with a circular access road. We had a little fun squaling the tires on the way up, and right behind us was a Honda S2000 (also a rally participant). Much to our surprise there was a cop standing at the side of the road as we rounded the corner at the top... but he didn't bat an eye at us - instead he pulled over the S2000, giving them a stern talking-to about "exhibition of speed." :lol: We kinda felt bad for getting them into trouble, but they took it in good humor.

i was reading through these posts. i am debating to change my complete exhaust as well now totally stock. i came across 02-07 WRX & STI Megan Racing Type-2 Black Cat-Back Exhaust plus the matching megan racing down-pipe. i found several sound clips on youtube...very quiet rumble...i think im going to settle on this set up. 3" all the way total cost arround $500 plus install.
what do u guys think?
