New Hog-zawst System!!! The sound of power! *with patented washer technology*

Big ones.. Actually I just had in my toolbox a bunch that I have used in the past. I believe I used some M10 4" bolts, threaded it up and cut it short.

2.0 UEL headers JDM GT

 

At first i didn't like the sound, but after having it on for a while i started to like it.

Best thing you can do unless u have 500+ for an exhaust

Nice crackle and pop when it hits the top of the RPM's.

I'm behind the times (since I'm poor) - are the LGT's now 2.0L?

JDM version had the 2.0

 

I like how the dog responded...lol

Your dog seems to dislike it.

for those of you with 8 washers total are you using two thick washers per bolt or thin ones my hogzaust dosent seem as loud as i thought it would be lol

Use 10 thick washers for extra HP.

Just did this to my legacy 2.5i. Sounds much more sporty! Paid 1.66 for 8 galvanized washers and did it in about 15 mins (bolts weren't rusted to bad ) and its about 10 degrees with windchill. Loving cheap mods

Welcome to the cool kids club!

my bolts are rusted to hell!!! tried for a good hour or so and still couldn't break them loose... FML

Soak 'em with some PB Blaster and let that sit.

Go buy some 2" long 3/8 bolts nuts and washers and just bust the old off.

 

Get some anti-seize compound from the auto parts store and put it on the new hardware. In fact put it on every nut or bolt you put on the car.

 

I even do all the lug nuts on every car I work on.

Yesterday another leggy owner at the garage said, yo man, i plan to get mine piped too (exhaust) how much did yours cost? this guy is telling me $xxx

 

I told him less than 1 dollar. lol. Today someoen else complemented me about it also, my other mechanic.

 

Best thing about this mod is the ability to turn it on and off at such low cost = free

I think I may be the first to report a Hog-Zawst failure

 

Turns out after about 3 years, and awesome Canadian winters, the hardware holding the muffler to the Y-pipe finally failed!

 

I don't blame Hog-Zawst...I blame the operator (me). Why buy cheap hardware?

 

Anyways, 5 min run to the store...$3 later and Hog-Zawst is fixed. Again with the same cheap hardware, but the way I see it, this will buy me another 2 years

 

This time I upgraded to stage 3 rather than the mediocre stage 2 I had previously = AWESOME

 

And Hog-Zawst failure number 2 the LH hdw finally let go. Those lasted about 4 years...not too shabby...

 

Quick run to the hardware store. Should be fixed by the evening

 

Still digging the sound soooo many years later.

so has anyone gone from a hogzaust to a straight pipe axleback? like this one from nameless performance (http://shop.namelessperformance.com/2005-2009-legacy-gt-muffler-delete-axleback).

 

I'm wondering if there's any big difference in sound. I've had a stage 3 hogzaust for a few years now but a straight pipe axleback has me interested

My 09 Spec B has muffler deletes and a stock exhust, It sounds great. Just unbolt your mufflers and start the car up.

I got my legacy on tuesday. We bought It used from NC. It has 135,000 miles on it so the bolts were basically rust rods. Pb blaster did nothing. I ended up using a grinder and grinding the bolts right off. It took a while but at least it sounds amazing! All of my friends are jealous!

Trying to pour through this massive thread, but would this be worth doing to a 06 Legacy Outback H6?

I used to laugh at this cheapskate mod but I did find a good use for it. If you're not sure if your exhaust is too restrictive, try this before spending money on aftermarket systems. Last year I was stuck at around 305whp and couldn't figure out what was holding me back. Intercooler didn't help, neither did more boost. Not sure if the exhaust was the culprit, (I had a catted DP and 3" midpipe into the stock muffler) I tried the washers. Instant 10g/s increase in airflow and similar gain in peak whp. That made the decision to go to a bigger muffler much easier to justify.

Say what? How did you get those sweet stats? Or is g/s butt dyno numbers?

Well, got bored today and did the "Hog-zawst" mod.

 

I'm liking the nice throaty sound it gets now

Should I only do one side with two washers or both sides???
