  1. The measurement refers to the diamater of the muffler; larger muffler, quieter exhaust. So he's got the axle-back rather than the muffler delete.
  2. Yea, you'd sound similar to a GT since 05's got unequal length headers in stock form.
  3. Sounds great! If I'm not mistaken, the Bosal is the same as version 1 of the SPT?
  4. That "black box" holds your transmission fluid if I'm not mistaken (can't tell since I don't see the drain plug). Mine also has that grid pattern. Updated first post in order of model year and removed videos that no longer work. For the 4th gens, it's UEL videos first, then ones with stock headers. Here's a new video from myself. It was intended to be a cone cam since I wanted to know how close I was getting with the right-side of the car. Turned out to be a pretty good exhaust cam as well. AVO axle-back only: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iibGXsstbBY]2013 VCMC Auto X Cup #4 - Personal Best (56.691) - YouTube[/ame]
  5. Dubz, I think what hes trying to say is that it's never been done before with your particular setup. Honestly, I've NEVER seen any other 2.5i with those headers; you're special Those headers look freakishly long before they even reach the mid-pipe. Assuming the heads are the same as other 2.5i's, the OEM LGT manifold will bolt-up to the head no problem. The problem is connecting it to the rest of the exhaust.
  6. Hmm, after hearing those clips, I do agree that using an OEM manifold from a turbo Subaru sounds better (has more rumble) than the RalliSport. Makes me want to get mine installed soon; I've got an OEM LGT manifold that's been sitting in my closet for the last 2.5 years Gotta get the timing belt and head gasket done first, that'll hurt the wallet.
  7. Unfortunately, 2010+ 2.5i don't have the dual exhaust setup like the LGT, so options will be very limited. If you don't want to spend $800+ for a JDM piece, I'd suggest buying a universal Vibrant Performance or Magnaflow muffler and take it to an exhaust shop to weld it up.
  8. Wow, it's been a while since I've seen those photos lol. You have a GTO now? Dafuq?! What happened to the Spec.B?
  9. If you're on stock suspension and don't do much hard driving, I would go 17x7 or 17x7.5 with an offset that's at least +45. With these wheel sizes, the following tire sizes are the most suitable and the descriptions are my opinion of what they offer: 205/50/17: Most fuel efficient; however, you get the least curb protection for your wheels and will have the least grip of the group. Diameter is close to the stock 205/55/16, so gearing won't be effected. I would only recommend this as a winter size on a 17x7 since narrower is better for snow/ice. However, I'm guessing you would use your stock 16's for winter. 215/45/17: Best overall performance size for 17x7. Improved acceleration since the diameter is slightly smaller than stock, creating the effect of shorter gearing. Easier acceleration maintains fuel efficiency. You also get sharper steering response since there's less sidewall, and as a result, a slightly less comfortable ride. I use this size personally on my 17x7 since I value performance over comfort. 225/45/17: Best overall performance size for 17x7.5; the widest that's recommended for 17x7. It will give you more overall grip than the 215/45, but on a 17x7, you'll sacrifice a little steering response but maintain ride comfort. The wider contact patch may decrease gas mileage slightly. Diameter is close to the stock 205/55/16, so gearing won't be effected. 235/45/17: The widest that's recommended for 17x7.5. May give you a little more overall grip than the 225/45, but you'll sacrifice steering response. The wider contact patch, larger diameter, and increased weight will decrease acceleration performance and fuel efficiency, but will give the best ride comfort. Cliff Notes for 17x7 205/50/17 - fuel efficient and comfort, but with the least grip and curb protection 215/45/17 - fuel efficient with good steering response and improved acceleration, but less comfort 225/45/17 - best overall grip and comfort and most curb protection, but less steering response Cliff Notes for 17x7.5 205/50/17 - fuel efficient and comfort, but with the least grip and curb protection 215/45/17 - fuel efficient with sharp steering response and improved acceleration, but less comfort 225/45/17 - good steering response, overall grip, and comfort 235/45/17 - sloppy steering response and least fuel efficient, but most comfortable and most curb protection
  10. What's your goal though? A blend of performance and comfort or low and stiff to prepare for some hellaflush wheels?
  11. Dont you want tips on your mufflers? Choose from this link: http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/streetmufflers.asp I personally like the 14829. For a classier look, I like the Vibrant Performance 1034: http://vibrantperformance.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1022_1031_1108_1196
  12. Updated with clips of a 2012 with Perrin axle-back. The videos on the first page are somewhat in chronological order by model year. By somewhat, I mean the 06-09 will be mixed since they all sound the same.
  13. They sell both 2.5" and 3" for the mid-pipe. I'd go with the 2.5" on an N/A.
  14. Yea, the low-rev range you mainly use for daily driving. If I were you, Id get a set of decent universal mufflers e.g. Magnaflow or Vibrant Performance and then to go a reputable exhaust shop to make a custom axle-back. You might pay a bit more, but you won't lose power, get the sound you want, and they won't rust. Just something to think about ;-)
  15. Yea, if it fits an 05-09 LGT, it should fit 06-09 2.5i. Again, be aware you that will lose low-end power. Also, eBay stuff is known to rust pretty quickly. You get what you pay for.
