Iltl32 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 07 legacy limited. I need to replace the exhaust (cat-back), and there's a million kits from $150 to $1,000. I don't need anything fancy or performance, I just want something comparable to stock. Any recommendations?

mars_volta Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) There is a lot of crap out there. I would avoid the 'OEM' Bosal stuff and that other black OEM stuff on ebay. Complete Junk. I ended up with genuine Subaru midpipe and mufflers. Not cheap but it fit right, will last, looks right and is QUIET!. I'm a little mental about keeping the car 100% factory anyway. The original stuff I took off went thru 15 MN winters and 217k miles. Probably could've lasted another 5 years.

Max Capacity Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Agree, I think you'll be happier with a stock type system. Call a few local auto parts stores and see what they can get. Most aftermarket will be louder. There's a sound clip thread in the exhaust forum. Or go to a local exhaust shop and see what they can do for you. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

ttnio Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 any custom muffler shop can give you a wide range of choices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDFTW Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I've been pleased with Magnaflow replacement parts so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L30R Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Ive got an API Y-pipe connected to Turbo XS axlebacks after everything rusted out. The aftermarket Y-pipe is noticeably louder around what I think is the resonator. Not exactly a nice sound but the TurboXS cans make up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L30R Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The API cost around 110... Genuine Subaru is around 240. I think it's definitely worth going Subaru OEM. New genuine mufflers are also around 220ish per side. Which might also be very well worth it, at least for longevity and the quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grovlet Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) I just put the Borla on my car - Excellent fitment and you'll never need another exhaust for the life of the car... If you want aftermarket it's a great option! I really thought it would be louder - it's actually a nice volume - inside = no louder than factory - sounds really nice from the outside - but not loud in any real sense - and NO DRONE at all (note I also run a catted Invidia Downpipe) Edited November 14, 2019 by grovlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SpecB_DE Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I have a factory intermediate pipe with good flanges. Not sure if you have turbo or na but the pipe is for the turbo models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
