Saltygt Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hey guys, I just got done installing my ebay catback and just wanted to post my opinions. First of all it was very cheap, I liked that part. But because of its cheapness there are fitment issues with the mufflers and exhaust tips. The left side sits about an inch lower than the right and also sits right up against the inner part of the muffler tip cutout, not unfixable but definatly annoying. But overall the exhaust sounds great, very deep. It did come with a resonator which i wasnt expecting and didnt really want, so let me know if any of you guys have a non resonated straight pipe you might want to trade! And lastly if you are lowered more than an inch or have coilovers, beware of clearance issues. I have coilovers and had to raise them up about an inch just to get enough clearance to drive around on colorado roads. Hope my feedback was useful!

korpsepatrol Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 yeah all of those ebay exhausts are the same exact thing as the X02, so if you want to know what they sound like just go to youtube and find x02 legacy gt sound clips. It sounds good but the quality of the pipes is not good at all, you need to get them coated since they will rust. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklin Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Even with needing to tweak it to fit properly how can you gripe for all stainless exhaust for $350 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnamaraz Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Can someone send me a link to this guy? I'm unable to find it on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-WDC Spec B Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 just look up "Subaru legacy exhaust" and look for the cheepest one. I think i bought the last one from cxlighting. To anyone who buys this CBE. Get some hightemp paint/clear coat and coat these pipes so they wont rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-WDC Spec B Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Same thing. its polished "Mirror finished" steel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfaber Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ah, well that would explain the price then. I think I'm going to pass on these for a product that won't rust away in a few years =) Winning the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsnoops Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 ya its Chinese made. so its crap. mine's rusting slowly. the can tips are the worst they are both faded yellow. cant even clean those nicely. i would go back and spend some more on hks hi-power or the perrin.

F-WDC Spec B Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I just installed the cans on my friends 2.5i and it sounds really good with the stock pipes. But deff needs to be coated. Hint: when removing the rubber hangers use grease to slide them off the stopper of the metal rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
