Legacy2.5R Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 i just installed the Greddy EVO 2 catback exhaust on my 2.5i there was some fittament issue, the midpipe did not reach the cat, and the flanges dident line up. i just bought a 3'' pipe from autozone and welded flanges on it. other than that everything mounts up. i also have the borla header and the one of the 2 cats is gutted. despite what many have said about 3''GT catbacks on NA's, this is not the least bit raspy, or high pitched, yet a very deep and basey tone. yes, its non-resonated, so it is rather loud, but sounds good. sounds almost identical to my friends 06 WRX with an HKS Hi-Power turboback. i do belive the borla UL header is needed to get the best sound. and the torque issue; i have experiened no noticeable low end torque loss due to the large piping. even if there was this makes up for it in the higher RPMS 5000RPM - 6000RPM the car pulls very noticeably harder than before. i think it was very worth it. this weekend i will load this thread up with pics and sound/video clips.

tommypenguin Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'm the biggest hater, and I hate NA legacy's Just messing man, get some pics up. Glad you enjoy your horizontally opposed motor pouring out of your exhaust, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewLegGT67 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 No haters here. I love the Greddy 2 catback. It probably sounds nice. Can wait to see the pics. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I get just about the same mileage out of my turbo 2.5 as my N/A 2.5 when I drive my LGT as slow as my 2.5i OB . BTW, a 3" catback on a modestly powered N/A 2.5 is a bad idea. The OP might not think he lost any low end power, but put it on a dyno and I can almost guarantee that the results are sub-optimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Murdocta Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 haha, im not sayin nothin, however if you could get that sound clip up that would be tight... ive only heard one clip of a greddy exhaust but that was on a GT. It would be interesting to see how the 2.5i sounds. Will it Blend? That is the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy2.5R Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o51/forwallblakmail/DSC00601.jpg only pic of the exhaust i could get this weekend, ill try to get a soundclip up soon. just been real busy latley. and the power issue, im aware that 3'' is a bit much on an NA, however, i do feel that it pulls slightly harder after about 5000RPM. However, i plan on trading the car in on a GT next summer, were i will re-install the catback then. since i would have bought this for the GT anyways, i thought id see how it sounds and performs on the NA.
