chestercopperpot Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Tried searching, but couldn't find the answer. Is the spec b exhaust the same as the GT? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidInSeattle Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yes, at least for my '06 Spec B. I bought a standard turbo back exhaust from Borla and it fits fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chestercopperpot Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I know the fit is the same. I was wondering if the mufflers were identical and pipe diameter were the same. I currently have a borla which I love the sound of), but with the new baby even that is a little loud. I put the OEM on and it's REAL quiet. Almost too quiet. I wouldn't mind a bit more sound, but something that still seems OEM. So I thought maybe the spec b was a bit different. Like the STI. I guess I could swap the mufflers for STI with a little modification. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redslaya Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 look for the SPT v2 catback. OEM option that is a bit louder, but still relatively quiet. its quite a popular system. as far as i can recall, the GT and spec B share the same exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF1GG29 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Spec.B exhaust is the same as the GT exhaust -- practically silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Yep, I have both cars, they are the same. Now a wagon has longer exhaust tips, but everything else is the same. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

TJM Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I just want something a little bit more loud, while keeping the nice subie rumble. Was looking into Borla, but anyone have any other suggestions? My cars a 2010 LGT, thanks ahead of time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 A lot of the better sounds I have heard are limited to the 4th gen and earlier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a 2010 you don't get rumble. You have a factory Equal Length manifold because Subaru finally realized it was more efficient. So unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do to get the subie rumble without going to the old inefficient turbo set up. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm talking more about the turbo spool and other sounds that kind make up a sort of rumble. That is unfortunate, but I guess good at the same time.

chestercopperpot Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for the replies. I think I may just put the Borla back on.

magnusonsubie Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I've thought about doing it with mine. My borla resonator is beat up and I'm thinking about changing out the resonator. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestercopperpot Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 I was thinking of adding it along with the Borla resonator. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
