tbperry Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just decided to do this today - I am absolutely in love with it. Ever since I got my car I wanted to make it sound better but just couldn't bring myself to spend $500 for it. My dad had some extra washers in his garage so the entire thing was free! Awesome mod - perfect sound!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripcurl Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I just did this mod last week with 3 washers on each bolt and find the drone between 2000-3000rpm very annoying! At idle and above 3000rpm, it sounds fantastic! I'm really on the fence about this mod. Love the rumble, but the drone is killing me (since I usualy drive between 2-3k often). I think I'll put 1 washer in and see what the outcome it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll put 1 washer in and see what the outcome it. Hmm, that's weird. I have 4 washers on each bolt and I don't get drone whatsoever... My old RSX with 2.75" straight back w/ race header... now that was drone! I actually went from 2 washers to 4 and I wish I would have gone with 4 form the start, it sounds awesome and not very loud at all! For reference I have CNT catted dp, stock midpipe and stock cans.

I put 1 washer on each bolt yesterday and its still got a bit of a drone, but not as much as before. I think its much more bearable now. For reference, I have an Invidia catted DP, stock midpipe and stock cans. I think in the long run I might get a muffler shop to install a pair of custom cans. I'll see how I like this setup for the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too laff79 Posted April 12, 2012 I Donated Too Share Posted April 12, 2012 Just got back form the muffler shop (had to have the bolts torched) and am now officially a stage 2 hog-zawst convert. Love the sound AND the price. Even the guy at the shop was pleasantly surprised. Thanks Hogmeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see how I like this setup for the next few months. FWIW, I'm catless with Invidia pipes and stock mid and cans and have no drone. WIth 2 washers. You may want to think about a muffler where the mid pipe and resinator are and do muffler deletes with nice chrome tips.

Brunex Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Just got 8 washers from home depot for $1.20 to put them on tomorrow morning! Excited to see what it will sound like! The only mod I got on the exhaust is a sti downpipe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not put them back on and add the washers. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Brunex Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) holyyy shytt!! what a sound! hahaha:lol:!!! I just love my legacy gt even more! Well the bolts were so rusted that I had to take my car to my uncles shop to get them removed. He sprayed them with PB blaster and use the pneumatic pistol. Took some time but finally my uncle got them out. Put on 2 washers on each bolt and I love itttt! Im even getting a bit more of respect on the road since a couple of guys doubted to race me haha:p:p kiddin' will post a vid so you guys can check it out. Oh and I just spent 13 bucks including labor and the bolts. **Update** Heres a short clip [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FghKdci3Gbg]Subaru Legacy GT exhaust sound - YouTube[/ame] Edited April 21, 2012 by Brunex Video Added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybadger Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 just did this on my 3.0R (H6) i love it. especially the fact that it's completely reversible in a few minutes and the volume is "adjustable" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggylife22 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I just did this today! Sounds so much better. And with a stock exhaust i can now turn heads at my highschool. You sir just saved a 16 year old 700 bucks! Thanks again! Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggylife22 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 So i used two hex nuts on each instead of washers. Is that okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 You are welcome, and yes, of course, it's OK. You are just makin' a gap! I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time. CLICK HERE FOR THE HOGZAUST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggylife22 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yeah i mean it sounds great (for me a 16 year old with high testosterone levels) but i watched some vids and they were using washers. The reason im worried because when i really get my leggy going, i can her the turbo spool up like before but now theres like a flapping/whistling noise. But at slow speeds and normal cruising it sounds amazing. Any reasoning for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 oh man, 16 and a Legacy GT? You are going to wreck it! Anyways, i'm just jealous. I had to sell mine for $$ and real life.

honeybadger Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Ok here is my 3.0R hogzaust stage II filmed it when moving as it sounds different when i rev without being in gear and i wanted the sound to be representative of what you'd normally hear when driving the car around. enjoy [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zob8EDHamY&feature=g-upl]Hog-zawst stage 2 - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halwith Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hi my friendz tell me that if you feed many washer thru the airfilter while then engine is running it will shape the exhaust valves to make the boxerrumble again. Itz cool to try this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at slow speeds and normal cruising it sounds amazing. Any reasoning for this? Typically messing with the intake or exhaust will result in a lot more noise... Emphasizing the turbo spool, BPV noise, and wastegate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
