bignickgt Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hey guys I've been doing some thinking... and I'm really liking the sound of the single tip exhaust that you'd find on an STi. So, I''m thinking of getting the Invidia N1 cat back that fits the 02-07 SUBARU WRX/STI. (I'm really hoping this will somehow fit even tho this is risking making my car look "fill in the blank" ). I have a Cobb Tuning catted down pipe and it tappers down to 2.5" at the end (I can't remember if the donut gasket makes it 2.5 inches or if the pipe itself actually becomes 2.5 inches); but i'm wondering if I'll encounter any connection/fitment issues... -Can anyone help? -Has anyone does this?

Drift Motion Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 if you want the boxer rumble, any catback/axleback will get you that sound I highly doubt the Impreza exhaust will fit the Legacy and Cobb DP tapers down to 2.5 inch after the cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underground000 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 IIRC Impreza catback kind of fits but not really:lol: You have to extend the midpipe and tweak the hangers. Its not easy and dont know what years... 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesej05 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 IMHO, the single tip exhausts on legacys only look good on the 3rd gen and older. Haven't seen single exhaust on 4th or 5th but I can almost GUARANTEE its ugly... ...but again, your car...you do what you want with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignickgt Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Actually Scott (IDRVSLO) has a good idea. Just to get the normal aftermarket exhaust (like borla or something) that fits our car then ask a muffler shop to wield one of the pipes shut at the Y pipe... or even an electronic butterfly valve that open and closes it... i think i'm getting more and more motivated every time i think about this... and Nrw, the link to the silver legacy with the single tip doesn't look bad at all... my brother thinks it looks ricer. Maybe i have bad taste, o well. lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeblow Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I've debated this option for the uniqueness, plus there's a local guy with an HKS for his 04 sti that only wants like $100. I figured it couldn't be much more than another $100-$150 in custom work for the exhaust to fit. It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdzowner Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 ill try to get a pic but i have a single exit. i love the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooKz Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I want to get a single exit exhaust for my LGT too. They're actually nicer than I thought they would be. So are there any WRX exhausts that would work? Maybe the Invidia N1? If not, I am gonna go with the LGT Agency Power Duals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBGuy Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 cant you just take out the y pipe from any exhaust and make it into a single pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeblow Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 So did you do it? No. I just bought a motorcycle, so funds for an exhaust experiment are a little short. Maybe later this year or next. It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooKz Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I would much rather just buy the WRX exhaust and if it needs customized, I have a guy that can custom bend the piping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeblow Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I think specb guy is on the right track though. WRX exhaust are two piece, so I think if you eliminate the y and modify the hangers, it wouldn't take too much more work to make it fit.

MooKz Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 It sounds comforting but I am going to try it my way and see where it gets me. I am ordering my Invidia N1 Thursday night and I should have it on Monday or Tuesday from where I order and I will be sure to post pictures next week on this thread for all of your viewing pleasure.

MooKz Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I am pumped. I am getting my catless up-pipe as well when I order the exhaust. Next week, I am ordering the catless downpipe. Bye bye fuel economy. Hahaha. I will post pictures of before the install and after. I will show pipe clearance and everything for further detail. I hope that helps.
