Caboobaroo Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Just like the title states. Would a catback exhaust from an EA82T car bolt to the y-pipe of a NA EA82? I got a better flowing EA82T catback exhaust to replace the exhaust on my new coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 you will, WILL lose allot of torque if you put an exhaust ment for a turbo on an na they need a certian amount of back pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 you will, WILL lose allot of torque if you put an exhaust ment for a turbo on an na they need a certian amount of back pressure All the back-pressure you need is in the y-pipe. He asked about the rear section of the exhaust. You can go as large as you want behind the cross-over. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut up Jeff:-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I haven't personally done it, but if I know Subaru, it should bolt up with no modifications. The Y-pipe from my EJ22 bolted right up to the rest of the EA82 exhaust! As far as backpressure is concerned, GD is right. That cat in the Y-pipe is all the backpressure you need, especially if you have ANY sort of muffler behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 yeah I got a melon shooter on the very end of it. I figured it was probably going to bolt up, just being lazy so I'm not rolling around on the cold ground for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD i dissagree i have a 2.5 y pipe back on my xt-6 it's almost to big i lost allot of torque, just my experance your may differ, just an oppinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 well this is a stock EA82T catback with a large melon shooter on the end of it. Should be fine I would guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Looked at it compared to my EA82T catback and looks to be the same, or close to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uss_essess Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Looked at it compared to my EA82T catback and looks to be the same, or close to it... It should be. I grabbed everything from the y-pipe back off of my 87 NA wagon and it bolted right up to my 89 turbo wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Yes, it will. Jeff... "a lot" is two.....count them... TWO WORDS and "lot" is spelled with one "l" As far as your car losing torque with the bigger exhaust, what it might have lost in torque, it made up for in top end... so stop complaining.
