Thread: And here I thought I couldn't own a car with a bigger spoiler

No I like the stock wheels, I just want something different, something to really set it apart from the rest. Probably will be a 2013 thing. Shooting for exhaust, tint, coilovers, and jdm Rear bumper next year

tell that to all the kids who buy subarus and bomb them down backroads like it was meant to be.

Yeah, getting a little off topic, sorry. Back to Tommy's Evo and how he should guy a turboback exhaust system I think is what we were talking about?

I still don't know what I wanna get. Buschur is nice and close and I could go and pick it up. Probably would get the magnaflow setup as I think their bullet setup would be too loud. I don't want something ear splitting, I gotta be able to stand driving it on the highway every day.

just to save your ears and help out yourself in the end: dont get anything overly big or loud. you'll hate it for driving around all the time.

I know I don't want anything that loud. My cobalt was pretty quiet until you went WOT, which i really liked. Doesn't help that the cabin isn't very soundproof. Might do some soundproofing on this car to reduce road noise.

Haha You get used to the road noise. Does Borla make a XR-1 CBE for the Evo? I love mine, it's really quiet compared to other exhausts for the STi and sounds awesome under heavy throttle.

ya they do, but I can't find any sound clips of it. Would be nice to hear ahead of time. From a magazine article David Buschur posted up, he said the borla exhaust weighs nearly 38 lbs, where as most of them weigh in the mid 20s. Dunno why it's so heavy.

hint: you dont need a 3" catback. seriously.

Been browsing through exhaust videos. Really liking the Perrin Stealth exhaust

Evo IX Perrin Exhaust and Launcher - YouTube

AMS sounds pretty good as well

because it actually has something in it, unlike all the others that are straight, thin walled pipes.

Does Buscher still deal with Subarus at all? Every time I drive past there on the way to race/watch races in Norwalk all I see are Evos and DSMs.

The XR-1 is lighter than my stock catback, not by a whole lot but it's still weight reduced. A good portion of the weight probably comes from the muffler being a full size "traditional" muffler, instead of a cylindrical rice-cannon that you can see straight through

Looks like they do a little bit, but very limited, the only have a small amount of stuff on their website. I gotta try to find an exhaust clip of the borla somewhere, I wanna hear what it sounds like. i was pretty happy with my xr-1 on my cobalt, and the borla catback is only $680, so it's pretty fairly priced.
