Had this in my jourrnal but since theres a section for it, here ya go...
Car: 2007 Forester
Engine: EJ251
Trans: auto
Catback: 2006 Sti catback (extension welded in midpipe)
Headers: Stock EL headers
Cat section: Stock

Butt dyno shows increase in excelleration, especially highways. Nice low tone. Could be better with uel's but don't want to loose any umph I already made.

 

Boom! here's Stromung for ya'.

Car: 2001 Forester S
Engine: EJ251
Trans: 5MT
Intake: COBB CAI
Headers: Authentic Borla UEL
Cat section: Stock
Catback: Stromung 2.5" midpipe & Stromung single tip axle back

 

Please excuse the poor audio quality.

Car: 1999 Forester S
Engine: EJ253
Trans: Manual
Catback: Magnaflow
Headers: Stock EL headers
Cat: Stock

 

Spt on a 2010

I later had to add a resonator, it was way too loud and boomy.

 

I just wanted to post this because I haven't heard any of the other examples on Youtube sound quite like mine.

Bone stock engined 09 X with just a 15 STi catback. This is the non resonated midpipe.

Cold startup I thought it was hitting the body somewhere the "rattle" is so loud. Warmed up it's almost silent at idle and sounds like a sport bike on free rev. It is actually very pleasant from the drivers seat while driving. Just enough to hear the engine and the trans actually shifts fairly fast and it has a small GTR'ish pop between shifts. This was only around town though I haven't had it on the highway yet to experience the dreaded drone people talk about. I did sound deaden the whole back floor/wheel wells/spare tire well already so maybe that helps a bunch. I have a MIG and TIG welder if it ends up driving me crazy I'll just put a resonator in there. I've used the Vibrant Ultra-Quiet on a few cars and love it.

Can I ask what you used to sound deaden? I had a similar set-up and would get a boomy resonance while slowing to a stop. Having an auto, it was impossible to pop it out of gear and have it coast down. Have you gotten similar noise? Do you still run this setup?

Thanks for any info on how you made this livable.

 

Here’s my 04.

Tsudo catback + tsudo UELs, stock cats

 

that circular saw sounds nicer than a lot of honda's I see in my area!

I'm uploading mine now... should be done in 10 years or so.

 

lol my neighbor was actually cutting that pipe for his honda roll cage lol...........:monkey_dance:

 

Car: 1999 Forester
Engine: EJ253
Trans: 5MT
Catback: 04 wrx twin tip muffler
Headers: Ebay UEL Headers
Cat section: Stock
This muffler broke

So I did this:

Car: 1999 Forester
Engine: EJ253
Trans: 5MT
Catback: 04 wrx 2.5 resinated midpipe with axleback straight pipe
Headers: Ebay UEL Headers
Cat section: Rear cat delete (straight pipe)

 

^^^Ooh, that sounds good.

I'm not even gonna post a vid of my EL headers' ricer noise. uke:

 

Damn i cant wait for my UEL's! that's an amazing sound right there!

 

updated first post

 

ok here's my actual exhaust clip! Finally figured out the wifi pw at work :evilatyou:

https://vimeo.com/70951836/

setup is magnaflow axle back and UEL Headers

 

Only 2.5 N/A allowed ???? Too bad...:icon_cry:

 

ehh post whatever you got haha! ill get that title changed up!

 

Any Stromungs there?

 

sounds angry!

 

My old setup on the SOHC motor.

2001 Forester L
-Short ram intake
-Borla UELs
-1 stock cat, 1 High flow
-2.25" midpipe (no resonator)
-04 STi axleback muffler.

And some comparisons, post swap:
-SPT catback
-Cobb Catback
-Straightpiped

 

that STi muffler without a resonator is way raspy 0.o

 

While I agree its kinda raspy, its at least not going to wake up the neighborhood when leaving.

I just picked up and STi catback and I'm really pleased based on the video Subiciv posted. Its been hard to find someone with just the STi cat/axle back and nothing else modified on a N/A. To each his own, but I like it.

 

UEL's are going to get picked up as we speak!

 

And mines all done! Updated sound clip soon but dont really want to do it in my driveway
