CasopoliS Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Gauging interest in the axle-back market. There aren't many options out there for just mufflers. They look great and sound great for both the NA and turbo crowd. They would bolt right up to the Y-pipe. Only vote above if you would consider buying mufflers (assuming they look good, sound good, price is reasonable, etc). I am just gauging interest on how big the market is. With interest comes new products You can also post your requests or ideas here in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4REEL Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I am very interested in getting an axle-back for my 2000 LGT Sedan, I'm not looking for a can, but something more like a cobb muffler, 3.5" tip... I can't find much useful information for 3rd gen exhaust options, everyone seems to be into 4th gens. I just want something that sounds nice a deep, with a rumble, lets me know the car is still running at idle.....I can't tell besides looking at the tach with the stock muffler.

mk6933 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm down. I want some huge oval tips that fit the cutout of the bumper. Something like Cobb that is tucked really high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJS Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm partial to a dual-rolled tip setup that fits the cutout nicely. If the tips looked similar to stromung, or even the tips on the new WRX & STI sedans, but sized and spaced properly that they tuck up nicely into the cutouts.

CasopoliS Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks for the comments, keep them coming. I should also add that these will only be for the 2005-2009 Legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballaholic Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 interested in dual tips aswell, if they are recessed and dont stick out too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk mk8 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 i wonder how far out the STI legacy mufflers tips stick out and how much the ones on the other systems do. also staggered or parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westu37 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 would you be willing to offer a product for the Outback owners? We have a downward facing tip and a lower hanging system because of the suspension spacers that are not used in the GT's. I'd like to keep the sleeper vibe of my xt that looks stock in the outside.

I am sure as car donors come available there can be a product / kit for the Outback owners. 12 people have said they would buy thus far. Thanks for voting.

mk6933 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So is this going to be a quad tip or just dual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruTim Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I really would like a nice set of mufflers but my main concern is fitment. Seems the fitment of most brands on our cars is a little questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 So is this going to be a quad tip or just dual? They would be what the market determines. If you guys want quad, you get quad. If you want dual you get dual. If there is enough interest shown, both options might be possible. Again, this is a gauging interest thread... development has not begun yet. If the interest is there, which it seems to be, options will be developed / prototyped, and eventually presented as products. I should also add that I posted this gauging interest thread for someone else who will be ultimately be making and selling these. At that point I will step out of it. I wanted to get the ball rolling for them, eventually they will jump in and take this over. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Motion Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I want a quad tip that bolts to the stock cat back, like the aspec blastpipe...maybe I should just go to a local muffler shop instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk mk8 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 i think that it should not be hard to bolt right to the stock y pipe after the axle and make both a dual tip and single tip version. hell i think a muffler delete pipe would be cool too.

mk6933 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I just want a nice dual tip, no quad for me. Not a fan of the quad tips look on our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk mk8 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 i went to make some more noise and increase my bling factor so i made some steps man when you first put them on they are just so quite at idle but once they break them in after a little bit you can hear them ever so slightly. i am glad to have my boxer rumble with only having done the axle back. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e64/Danrotolante/photo-14.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e64/Danrotolante/photo-15.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e64/Danrotolante/photo-16.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e64/Danrotolante/photo-17.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'll bump this. A clone of the discontinued Prodrive mufflers would be a surest bet to find interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
