A_A_ron Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I made a mock up of what I want my bumper/quad exhaust to look like. I used the 2018 Legacy as a donor photo. What do you guys think? Ever seen aftermarket or JDM parts that look similar? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Nope. Nothing available out there looks like that for the 5th Gen. You'd have to go totally custom. Peruse here for what's available. http://www.japanparts.com.

Humble Rumble Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The rear end of the Tommy Kaira Rowen kit paired with the Rowen quad exhaust looks pretty similar to that, especially if you paint the middle section black, but prepare yourself for several thousands $$$$ investment to get that look. http://kimuracars.com/ifiles/tuning/subaru-legacy-b4-rowen-bm9-2.jpg 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 @Humble Rumble that almost exactly what I am looking for but with less going on with that gray area. I could even cut it out completely and make a faux diffuser. @GTEASER This is one I found that I liked. I figured the indented section would make a great blacked out section that I could cut and mod as needed. https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/41121 Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Okay. The Tommy Kaira one has all sorts of other creases and vents that would look out of place without the entire body kit. The Corazon one looks bland and wimpy IMHO. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testa422 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 the Corazon is only for "dual" exhaust meaning one tip per side...you would have to find the legacy ts mufflers with the very small quad tips to fit the holes or have to widen the holes on the Corazon bumper. tommykaira/rowen make a much less aggressive rear lip but pretty sure that wont fit quad tips. just get quad tipped sti mufflers and widen the holes in the oem bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about cutting that out or modifying it to accommodate the quad tips and a diffuser to give it a better look. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Also the STI quad tips are a little short and I don't think they look good on the legacy bumper. There was one posted on the GT finds page. You could see it wasn't the best and it caused a lot of exhaust soot build up on the bumper Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JDM STI tips look really weird and squished, and the surface between them is flat and looks dumb imo. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble Rumble Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Talk to Michael Tseng from the Facebook group (Hanger on here). He just started installing the TK Rowen bumper on his, might be able to advise you. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was throwing around the idea of cutting out the stock muffler slots on the OEM bumper and then putting on muffler guards to clean up the cut outs.

I'd love to see what you're going for. I'm torn with my exterior mods because I always tell myself I should spend the money on performance parts first. I think in a couple years if I decide to keep the Legacy forever I'll probably get it show ready with a full kit. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faded-a-fool Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 FYI guys, there is a metal part of the bumper (behind the cover) that MAY need to be modified (see attached pics). I did not pursue further and went back to stock. This is how my car looked with the quad tips, if you had not seen the post already. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4798560&postcount=111 I used that black Tommy Kaira Liberty photo as inspiration as well, but it did not work out like I wanted.

Taking them off was not a problem so going to assume installation was not a problem either. The inboard tip was basically super close (mm's) to that metal piece that curves down. The shop did not want to compromise any area around the bumper beam. FWIW, the mufflers were the Perrin quad tips for the wrx. I think it may still look odd, but that is just my opinion.
