  1. General Troubleshooting and Technical Help
    I've noticed that when on the freeway when I get to about 60 mph, a ticking sound seems to come from the rear exhaust area. I have replaced the muffler and isolated or eliminated any sort of vibration from the heat shield around the muffler. The heat shield seems very solid in place and there is...

    Where is the best place to get this? Just need the Y pipe and mufflers. Also are there better mufflers than stock? Something that offers a little rumble but not obnoxious. Need it delivered in Massachusetts.

    I was wondering if there was a somewhat cheap fix for a hole in the rear, the pipe connected from the muffler to the rest of the exhaust (picture attached) (also sorry not sure what to call the area where the holes are)

    Hello!! I bought a PRODRIVE oval tip muffler (that is considered kinda rare here) and the guy also supplied the PRODRIVE midpipe. (that is just a tube of 2,5 inches without the resonator the car has on the stock midpipe). Never fond of big noises but I heard its a quiet setup making only a nice...

    Howdy folks, I’m looking at getting myself a cat back in the near future for my 07’ forester xt. I’ve had a varex system by xforce in my last car and want to go this route as I like to have the quiet option for long highway drives (I do a lot of cross country road trips) and for early morning...

    Recently had a good chunk of my exhaust system fall off, looks like most can be salvaged but the muffler towards the rear is too rusty to be welded, does anyone know of a decent muffler that's not going to be to loud and won't break the bank?

    Hello all, I want to start this discussion by first mentioning that I have just purchased my first subaru: an 04 Forester XT. I want to keep it pretty stock, but also make it fun.

    Ok, so I’m trying to install my new headers for my 2003 forester. The bolts holding the headers to the block come out just fine. But when I get to the catalytic converter all hell breaks loose, or in better words, doesn’t break loose. These damn bolts holding in the cat and around the heat...

    When I owned my old Impreza I had those $100 replica Borla UEL headers on it. They were actually really well made for being replica headers and I want to put some on my forester. The only issue is that I cannot find them for the life of me, all the ones I can find only ship to the USA.

    Referencing the video below, he gets an absurdly close rumble to uel header turbo years, are these specific foresters 2.5i Premium with the manual option uel headers? And another video with the same engine:
