micwithoutthek Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Why hello everyone. I have a fun question for you all! OR mainly anyone who has tinkered with their Outback XT. Im looking to purchase one, but im wondering what stuff might fit on it from pervious years. I used to have a 2002 Subaru WRX but thats long gone but parts still remain, but i now have a 2011 Subaru Legacy 3.6r (Yeahhhhhhh Wooooo lol). and a few months back i got a set of nameless axelback mufflers for it, but they were too loud. They were from a 2009 wrx sedan. or at least made for them. I now have a set of Perrin axel back on the 3.6 and it sound super sexy. but my question is, Will the other ones fit? If so, i might buy this one im looking at. Silly question but i figured id ask before droping the dough. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX USA Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 One potential issue is the OBXT doesn't have bumper cutouts for exhaust tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micwithoutthek Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Well i dont mind that it doesnt have the cutouts, but i just worry it might not fit and would have to buy a new set. ohhhh well lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin M Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I have an 05 OBXT, with only an Invidia 3" DP. Looking into an aftermarket exhaust. I'm curious what other OBXT owners are running for a CBE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rester5350 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I am running a borla cb on my obxt, it sounds great when you get on it! I may be putting it up for sale soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin M Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Did you modify the exhaust tips at all? I'm currently interested in a 3" CBE, unless I can be convinced otherwise. Just built my motor and upgraded: ELH/uppipe, turbo, injectors, tgv deletes, cai intake, 3 port ebcs, fuel pump, etc... Thinking that it may be more beneficial with the 3" versus a smaller diameter, but I have no evidence or experience to support that, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rester5350 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 No mods done to the tips, they stick down below the bumper. I might have some pics to show how it hung. What turbo are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin M Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Dom 1.5XT-R for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 AVO or nameless exhaust are the only ones that I know of that makes mufflers for Outback. Both mufflers are tip down. I currently have AVO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin M Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I actually spent last night on the Nameless Performance website and chatted with one of the guys there for a good 30 min. and learned a lot...about their exhaust and his s/c BRZ haha. Really warming up to the Nameless product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin M Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Also Kongzilla, I really like how you opened up your bumper skin for your FMIC, did you put together any walkthrough other then the pictures you posted? When you cut out the center piece, did you just leave the gap in there or did you cover it in someway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you cut out the center piece, did you just leave the gap in there or did you cover it in someway? Sorry, there was no walk through. Not a lot of people have enough courage to cut up their bumpers. There are gaps but it is not noticable unless you look at it up closely. Its also not flappy either.

WRX USA Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I just got a Nameless catback a couple of weeks ago and I love it! I went with the 5" mufflers and full powdercoat since I am going for stealth looks on a DD. http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv87/JoshEAllen/37e02005-6261-4372-b23d-e7fd604eae47.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX USA Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks! Still running the stock DP but I am probably going with a Maddad in the next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaitanium Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 seems like we both post in both places =) have the unmuffled version from sublimejoe! got clips comparing it with a stock 2008 wrx which i can upload later. these sound just the same as if you ran your car without the stock axlebacks. car is stock elsewhere. not doing any engine upgrades. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/kaitanium/DSC_0084.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaitanium Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 so i have yet to learn how to reduce the background engine and white noise to recording from the camera as it really interferes with the sound of the exhaust but here are my clips. i maybe will do this again in the near future. maybe the key is to just stand further back when recording stock wrx 2008 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKCX3zmeyew]stock 2008 wrx exhaust - YouTube[/ame] stock outback [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5QduPIJxf0]stock outback - YouTube[/ame] stock outback no axleback at all [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLIiIOA_mwo]stock outback exhaust no mufflers - YouTube[/ame] nameless axleback on [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FAFsD-3ihY]nameless axleback outback - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't even tell we have mufflers because we have no exhaust cut outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe on a stock axle back, but the NPE one you can clearly see the tips and the mufflers (since they aren't completely tucked into the body).

kaitanium Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 yup, imho, the unmuffled ones from the side looks really stupid. looks like just two silver things hanging out the back end randomly wrxusa, can you see the muffler cans from the side? if you can, i think thats a better look than the unmuffled version. kongzilla, the AVO mufflers for the outback are practically 1:1 in looks (minus the polish). they hide just like the stock ones do but are insanely $$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
