BGSEXXE Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 So.. I found this cat back exhaust setup locally online and the seller doesn't know what exhaust it is. Its listed for an 08 legacy.. Can you exhaust experts help identify which setup this might be? Thanks for any and all help http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/matrixmanvvtl_i/Screenshot_2016-06-29-10-20-14.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/matrixmanvvtl_i/Screenshot_2016-06-29-10-19-59.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/matrixmanvvtl_i/Screenshot_2016-06-29-10-20-08.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsports Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Borla or Magnaflow is my guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGSEXXE Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Borla or Magnaflow is my guess? That's what I was thinking but don't they usually mark their exhaust systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 its not borla. its magnaflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun506 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It has the layout of a Magnaflow but if it doesn't have magnaflow branding on it it's probably a knockoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Probably Magnaflow. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Magnaflow-Stainless-Cat-Back-Exhaust-16747-05-09-Subaru-Legacy-GT-2-5L-Turbo-3-/131238688892?fits=Model%3ALegacy%7CSubmodel%3AGT&hash=item1e8e6f787c:g:oRYAAOSwirZTvtHX&vxp=mtr 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...

The ones I'm looking at aren't.. Would you guys pay $200 for this setup not knowing the brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 The pictures show,the bottom of the cans, the branding is on the top. Try the get a pic of the other side of the cans.

rhino6303 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Those ones in the link are branded.. The ones I'm looking at aren't.. Would you guys pay $200 for this setup not knowing the brand? Yes. I really don't think that is a knockoff. Knockoffs always have crappy flanges welded on and not the magnaflow slipons. That is a great price for a catback.

Phate Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Those ones in the link are branded.. The ones I'm looking at aren't.. Would you guys pay $200 for this setup not knowing the brand? Absolutely. And it's cheap enough that you wouldn't feel bad at all cutting the midpipe and having a resonator put in if it sounds obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebourne Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 What Phate said. For $200 that's a fantastic "canvas" for creating the exhaust you want. Enjoy the loud for a few weeks or months, then finally accept it's too loud or boomy without a resonator and have one installed in the mid pipe. The Vibrant Ultra Quiet is frequently recommended around here. Get one that fits your piping on Amazon. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vibrant Ultra Quiet is frequently recommended around here. Get one that fits your piping on Amazon. Also keep in mind that resonator length plays a role in what frequency it will quiet down. If you've got some nasty drone on the highway, there are some calculations you can run to determine the ideal length of resonator(s) to silence the unpleasant exhaust tones and make a loud exhaust far more livable. Not 100% how much the unequal length rumble would effect this, since I've only run calcs for inline 4's and small V6's, but it should still work.

BGSEXXE Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Alright fellas.. Here are the before during and after pics.. And I must say.. For not knowing the brand the Fitment is damn near perfect and it sounds amazing.. That Subi rumble is nice.. I'll upload video tomorrow. Thanks for all the help and advise on this!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/matrixmanvvtl_i/SI_20160716_215751.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phate Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 got a link to those calcs? This guy goes into a pretty good amount of detail for branch-style quarter-wave resonators. I can't find the equation/spreadsheet I had for a normal hemholtz resonator. http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/articles/exhaust_drone.htm Some solid math in this one. http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/gm-engine-exhaust-performance-21/how-build-exhaust-resonator-tube-eliminate-drone-489463/ http://www.corner-carvers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=931366&postcount=111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
