How's the sound on those axlebacks?

This shot gives the perfect angle to tell why my middle DAMD piece was such a pain in the ass to fit. The area where it mounts/spare tire well and such are definitely a different shape.

I don't really want to go full exhaust but a little extra growl would be cool as long as it's mellow and not overbearing Same here. It added a deeper tone and some volume, no drone, never annoying. Mellow and not overbearing, yes I would say it would fit that description. Its never physically tiring, my wife shows no indication she noticed any difference since I put it on, even in long trips, but you will definitely know it's there.

The Billies are ok, but IMO these dampers are not among Bilstein's finest. In other cars I had them they are sporty yet comfy. Not here. You can run fast with confidence yes, but you pay for it by feeling every bump in the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can run fast with confidence yes, but you pay for it by feeling every bump in the road. Yeah. I understand (even if I don't agree with) the change in the front end to comply with North American safety standards, but the change to the rear end is just absurdly minuscule and unnecessary. Slightly altering the shape of the rear tire well and rear bumper makes no sense, and removing the rear reflectors?? Especially considering they're EXACTLY the same rear reflectors that are used on USDM Impreza's and Crosstreks??????? I feel like it would've saved Subaru acres more money and time but just reusing the same rear mold for us. One of my biggest gripes about this car. 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...
Scubaboo Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 And...considering that most every other thing that Subaru makes, gets to the US without having to change half as much as they did the Legacy, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidbush05 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 We had a Sunday Subie Mod day yesterday... Installed the gurney flap on the STi and the BILLETWORKZ “red Cosmic Space” shift knob on the LGt. Today I backed out the LGt to throw darts [emoji457] and couldn’t resist the crappy iPhone pics!

davidbush05 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 And... since the Borla post got such attention I figured I’d throw up a crappy filthy pic of the TBE Nividia N1, since I can’t post the video with the sound clip!

[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I wonder how those N1's sound, someone is selling a VA STI version locally and I am thinking of trying it. It will involve a bit of hacking though I think, to make it fit. The Borla axlebacks are perfect for a daily driver but I miss the volume of a full bore exhaust system sometimes.

Well... it’s a TBE so it’s loud. It has gotten better with some heat soak but on a cold start it is loud. Plus with the equal length headers you still don’t get the iconic brumble [emoji57]... but I knew that going in. I’m happy with it, it definitely breathes better and even though the STi sounds better with the stock exhaust, the LGt is STILL faster with the TBE, Grimmy TMI, lightened flywheel, upgraded clutch and bits, plus the Cobb engine management system. Oh!... plus the JDM spoiler for downforce [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a center/offset muffler proxs Yup, univerals. They are Borla ProXS model 40358's, 2.5" center/offset. Shop welded on tips and connectors with flanges so they bolt on and I could go back to stock if I wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubaboo Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yup! Cheap, good quality (looked for inside pics and they have stainless wool wrapped around the perforated pipe), million mile warranty, good reviews (they are usually mentioned to sound good, be on the quiet side, and flow tests show them close to the top of the heap for universals), and they are cheap. Hardly any soundclips of them on Subies though, mostly on domestic V8's. So I took a chance. Thankfully they turned out decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
