underdog1425 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Since legacygt.com seems to be the 'how can i get a cool looking performanceish part for as cheap as possible?' headquarters, why don't I see any straight pipes + resonators + resonating tips setups? My understanding with that type of setup is that with a good exhaust shop you can have a beautiful custom tone for under $500 with a mixture of those 3 elements....?? Just curious here.

lee07 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I got/am gonna do a cbe with the 2 magnaflow mufflers I bought here for $300. 3" pipe from cat back. $425 for a new/used CBE. Not bad, wasn't on my to do list though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robitrice Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 thats quite the quote but i am pretty sure any forum would be the same way. Who here is like "dude im buying a CBE and its titanium and costs 2500 bucks!!!! sounds just like a $300 custom job yo but way more expensive." Each CBE is different in sound and aesthetics. Some people prefer different things. There are video in the exhaust section of different setups and there video of people with straight pipes and resonators. Youtube is your friend.

If you can find them feel free to save any onlookers the mind-numbing searching that I have already -fruitlessly- done. Granted I haven't exactly waded through lgt.com's section. I have however spent more 2-3hr episodes than I care to think about scouring youtube for exhaust setups and have had very little luck at all (literally like 3 or 4 turned up) finding this particular method on these cars.

09Pegasus Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I got an straight pipe on 2008 leggy with a resonator for $175 at a local shop. Sounded awesome just needed painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeKnwn Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah I just got done doing a custom catback from a 1 7/8 to a 2.25inch pipe with a resonator to my hks muffler costed me 145 and sounds great probably the same proformance as some of the 800+ set ups I spent what 400 on a whole system pretty much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09Pegasus Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sounds nice... I would have went with the Custom on my new one, but it was a bit too loud, and rusty. Plus my dad didn't enjoy me pulling in his drive way after 10pm! Haha So I broke down and got the Borla CBE for my 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robitrice Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lvER3s971I]Legacy GT stage 2 no mufflers - YouTube[/ame] this is with stock resonator and no mufflers...extra couple feet of custom pipe with your desired tips and your would have a very similar setup. Whatever resonator your choose will dictate the tone of your exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks for doing that, I'll listen when I get home. I have been meaning to do that with my cars. My 09 Spec has no mufflers and the OEM resonator. I think it sounds great when I start it cold and it idles on the choke. My wagon is catless and I have 2 washers between the stock cans and the Y pipe. I'd recommend to anyone who is thinking about spending big bucks on an exhaust to pull the mufflers off first and start the car. Home now, yea the second one sounds like my Spec B. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Scooper Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Has anyone who is running without mufflers noticed any power loss or pressure issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonJ 2001 GT Limited Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I didn't notice any power loss with my newest setup.

authenticamd Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I wonder how no mufflers and ELHs would sound like. Guess I'll find out late this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuveyB Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 ya dont really need to worry about backpressure with turbos cars, i have a video somewhere of my car with a resonated midpipe, and no mufflers gotta find it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog1425 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 I've been rocking a high flow catted dp, stock res and mufflers with 2 washer hogzaust. Its ok, but you can tell that its just an exhaust leak when you get on it.. the sound just doesn't really cut it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious here. because we dont drive wrx's. and i like to think that we all have different tastes when it comes to how we want our car to sound. loud and obnoxious 24-7 is not everyones preference.
