Boostjunkie Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 SnoDork has looked into them already and apparently, Greddy said that they are a wagon fitment only. Judging from the pics from Prodrive, where they fitted their wagon exhaust to a sedan, that means that the tips will stick out about 1" too far on a sedan. Pricing was reasonable for the Greddy systems, around $750 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I'll thank you now as I am hoping to get a Greddy lip from them if they are going to make one. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for an exhaust by one of the bigger companies to come out, guess I jumped the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookstr Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Evo2 - $1080 - wagons only SP2 - $925 - wagons only Rather competitive prices compared to the other cat-back options (that sit in the 1200 range). Too bad neither will work for my sedan...sure would suck to cut out 1" out of a brand new pipe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 well, the stock tips are recessed in... so 1" would put the tip just at the edge of the bumper.. prevent that rich exhuast fumes from turning your paint black. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wookstr Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 yeah, their website states SUB LEGACY GT 2005-on 60mm pipe 115x110mm tip "wagon, dual shuffler"...which would lead me to think that they offer dual mufflers :-) Nice find on the price Boostjunkie! Does anyone know what these may sound like...any experiences from the WRX crowd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legasee Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Heard nothing but good stuff about greddy's evo2's...if you want the subtle "quieter" exhaust when driving around neighborhoods and want to hear the boxer when out in the open highway, this is it...i've been waiting for this for a while ...keep us posted In Taiwan now...

almondcookie Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I had ..uh.. still have... a greddy evo for my prelude. V. Nice. I've scrapped it, bottomed out on it over speedbumps, banged it, and abused that thing so much. The gift that keeps on giving. The only issue is reselling it. The outside of the piping will be extremely rusty even after a couple stormy days and the mufflers will eventually tarnish. To me, an exhaust system is down and dirty so I personally don't care but for someone that's looking for new and shiney .. it'll be a tough sell. Mellow is probably where I would put it. I'll have to read up on the specs and definitely check them out. Good find. .. uh.. anyone want a greddy evo for a 5th gen prelude? cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookstr Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 EVO2 from GReddy site: "Inherent in its name, the EVO2 cat-back exhaust system is a huge step forward. In addition to the GReddy straight-through technology, offset tip design and large piping diameters of the original EVO, the EVO2 is now offered in full stainless steel providing improved looks, durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining the best qualities of the original such as fitment, sound and performance." So, no more rust worries with the EVO2. The other, cheaper GReddy exhaust available is the SP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoDork Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hey guys, I've talked to a couple of shops and actually Greddy themselves...The SP2 is Wagon Specific and is indeed Dual Mufflers...The same will be for the EVO2... As for now plans are only set for the Wagon...and the main difference between a SP/EVO vs. SP2/EVO2 is they went full stainless steel from the cat back... aight kids, that's all i got! ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedawgs Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Thanks SnoDork. I have given the GReddy exhaust a 2 thumbs up on the WRX. I expect the same on the Legacy. Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxx Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 60mm... whoa thats tiny i think that is the smallest aftermarket exhaust i have ever seen.. edit: thats stock size 2 1/3??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondcookie Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Is the price really 1G+ (you know it'll be over 1G unless you live next door to the shop) or is that greddy's version of MSRP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolesun Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Greddys are nice. I used to have them years ago in my Civic Si. The exhaust system is very well built and it had a deep low tone to it, nothing like those muffler shop specials that gets nothing but the cop's attention.

SnoDork Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 as far as the pipe diameter...The catback section is 70mm (2.75") then it splits off into dual 60mm (2.36") pipes into the dual mufflers. as far as the EVO2, i believe it starts out with a 80mm (3.15")... so its not that badly sized... as far as Price, i've been quoted low 7's to high 8's for the SP2 and EVO2 respectively...just gotta do the leg work and know some people that know some people! ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmanst Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I ordered the Greddy SP2 for my 2005 Legacy GT Wagon last Monday, the system arrived Friday! Of course I was very excited to install the system! I managed to remove the old and install the new in about an hour and a half. The kit includes all the hardware you need, bolts, gaskets, but NO instructions. All in all I like the look, everything fit well, although I noticed as I was installing the system that the right and left exhaust tips are at slightly different angles from each other, maybe off by about 2 degrees. On the car though, the casual observer would likely not notice, but I do. There are no signs of damage which would cause a 3" diameter weld to bend, so I concluded they were purposly welded this way, or I got a Lemon? I sent a message off the Greddy with photos and my concern. The sound of the system is quite gnarly! I will try to record a sound byte when I can. You will need a full range stereo system to play back this sound byte for these mufflers produce a good amount of DEEP bass. Around town driving with the new system is pretty loud, and having a wagon doesn't help much because it tends to amplify sounds eminating from the rear of the car. On the highway it is noticable, but certainly better. The system forces you to drive slower keeping the drone in a quiet spot at about 69-70 mph. Also, this system is intended only for WAGONS! Says so right on the box. The tips are extended to reach out just beyond the bumper. Here are links to a couple photos: http://images.andale.com/f2/115/106/3818905/1112347283262_Before_After.jpg http://images.andale.com/f2/115/106/3818905/1112319022795_Subaru_Greddy_NEW.jpg http://images.andale.com/f2/115/106/3818905/1115447951984_New_Exhaust_sml.jpg http://images.andale.com/f2/115/106/3818905/1113215401453_Parts.jpg Enjoy!
