JrBully Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 To each his own. I'm having a resonator installed when I do it so it's not going to be a straight pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklyngenius Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 actually I have catless DP and megan mid and Y pipe with resonator going to straight pipes and it actually sounds really nice. a little on the loud side but fun. useless signature line where i cant mention my sponsors "First Bagged BL5!"

RJS5689 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've run straight pipes before on a 2.0T GTI. It was a 3" catless downpipe and a 3" non-resonated exhaust. The thing sounded loud and mean! A lot of people on here will criticize you for stuff like that because it's a Legacy forum and the Legacy is supposed to be "classier" than the WRX/STI, but to each his own. I'm looking forward to hearing a clip. I wonder how it will sound on the N/A engine. And of course Brooklyngenius posts his straight pipe story just seconds before I get my post up! Do you have any sound clips of your car? I'm curious what it sounds like. I plan on going catless in the future. I'm running a Magnaflow catback right now which has no resonators in it.

On a turbo car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the difference is yours is a turbo, so you can actually benefit from a free flow exhaust. You also don't have an EL exhaust manifold, so it would sound better IMO .

JrBully Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I didn't know the 2.5i has el manifolds. I learn something new everyday. Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05lgt5spd Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 you will lose HP going with straight large diameter pipe. Drone will be crappy. But give it a shot, why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rao Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 If you are doing a straight pipe just bring it out under the door RACER style why bother with all of that extra pipe which is going to reduce flow and add weight?

clark687 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 its gonna sound like a turd just take ur cans off it be cheaper. even thou i was told you need back pressure of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05lgt5spd Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 put straight pipes with dual- dual tip mufflers, with gold plated turbine spinners on the end, should fit the sound. In my humble opinion, thats ricer. I had a built gsr and it was quiet. I HATE hearing honda's that are loud, because most likely they are 120hp fart-mobiles. buy an exhaust., or create a reason to justify running a straight pipe.. like a large turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 It wont sound bad at all tot he OP. Why? Ive ran every combo on my 2.5i at some point in time and ended up going with a LGT magnaflow cat back bolted to my UEL header with an added magnaflow resonator. I dont like really loud exhaust but this setup is loud with taste, which means it is loud when you get on it but at cruise it gives the rumble. No loss in bottom end and for your sake never listen to those guys they don't know WTF they are talking about exhausts on our cars only point out (audibly) what already happens with a stock system really poor bottom end and great (relative to our cars) mid and top. Sounds good post results if you care but def proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
