Update: 3/4/10: SPT EXHAUST WARRANTY DENIED BY SOA!!!!

After going back and forth with SOA, the official ruling from SOA is that this exhaust warranty is voided, since the exhaust was not made for the Forester. They can not cover any warranty on this exhaust, even though it was installed on the vehicle at the time of purchase by a Subaru dealership.

Furthermore, I was informed that by having this exhaust on the vehicle, in Subaru's eyes, I am now risking the warranty to the powertrain and emissions systems should any problems arise from them, and that those issues might not be covered under warranty due to having a catback exhaust (regardless that it is made by Subaru) because it was not designed for that application.

BUYER BEWARE.

A.K. over at Farrish sent me video of my '09 FXT after they installed the SPT exhaust. I uploaded the video to youtube.

Here is the video:

For viewing, I strongly recommended you have dedicated speakers, with decent bass playback. The exhaust is very bassy and laptop speakers take out the bass.

Sweet sound.

 

[njkayaker]

sounds good.

i'm looking at an SPT exhaust for my new 08 WRX to keep it warranty friendly.

WRX sedan or 5-door? That exhaust is the '08 WRX sedan exhaust. Fits perfectly on the '09 FXT.

I've had SPT exhaust on my Foz now for like a couple weeks now and I highly recommend it. I personally think it made a bit of difference in performance especially in the top end. I know a lot of people here are gonna say its just the sound but it feels better for sure.

Cool - good to know. 24 hours from now, I will be arriving in Va to pick up my FXT from Farrish. :Banane08:

Have you thought about a drop in high flow air filter or an SPT Intake? I have the whole SPT Intake kit sitting here from my old '05 LGT (last I checked they are identical). I am debating it. Maybe I will install it for a weekend and see what I think.

I wonder if that exhaust will fit the diesel?

Has there been much change in the sound from the inside? Have you seen any difference in fuel consumption?

 

[pootie]

That sounds beautiful :rock:, is it loud inside the car?

 

[impressed]

has any one tried other exhaust for the wrx 08 sedan on a 09 fxt? magnaflow etc?

 

[Scott]

What did you pay for the SPT exhaust? I found a guy selling the one on ebay for $300.

 

[srlangone]

Is this what you found on Ebay item number: 290263538874?

 

[Scott]

Yes, that is the item number. I understand the shipping is high but it sounds like a good deal..

NEW VIDEO!!!!!

YouTube - 2009 Forester XT Limited w/ SPT Exhaust

Enjoy it, because I know I am.

Make sure you have decent dedicated speakers, with good sound (especially bass). Laptop speakers won't play the sound back correctly.

 

[Nickfxt]

i Doubt it would be 300$ for the SPT exhaust unless they sold it for that price at the start... right now it is around 800$

 

[sea-scooby]

I like it! The only thing I'd do different is I'd blackout the cans and the pipes.
