ericem Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I got this crappy muffler,but it sounds SO awful, surprised that i can barely hear it in the car, but if someone is standing outside WOW!! its SO loud, i can hear it from a mile away! But it makes the car sound like a ************ box, so i want to get the OEM, and i liked having a silver muffler instead of black Its for a 93 legacy wagon, i looked on OEM part websites, but they are NOT actual OEM pipes, says a different brand, its pretty much my moms car so no performance guys, lol. Thanks, just hate the way it sounds from the outside, probably loosing some performance too:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard1296 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 https://www.1stsubaruparts.com/ About $100 plus shipping (OEM) Local car parts supplier about $95 but not Subaru...looks just like Subaru except the chrome tip is not supplied. Both are the muffler and the pipe up to the muffler. Just bought a good used one from a junkyard for $20...complete from converter (not including converter) to the chrome tip. From a 99 Legacy so all I can probably use on the 90 Legacy is the muffler, but it'll sound better than the $#!+ sounding muffler my son put on it. Then his was free though.

ericem Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 lol, believe it or not, I HATE loud exhausts sounds like a guy farting driving by:lol: well a ricer will be a ricer, i think ill get a muffler from a parted out legacy, my old one had a nice big hole in the bottom off it, thats what happens in Canada right? Thanks, never checked out that site, 100US is pretty good, but thats if i cant find a muffler from another legacy. I wonder how much of a difference there is between the turbo and non turbo muffler ?

Richard1296 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I don't mind a muffler that has a little rumble, both my Mustangs have exhaust that can be heard. But I like my Subaru to be QUIET. And a loud Subaru just sounds like a mad VW to me. The used muffler I bought will get welded onto the old pipe and should fit the factory hangers...and it will look and sound OEM. I really like how quiet my 2000 OBS is. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard But the mustang sounds different, it isnt farting as it passes, it growls like a loud lion, dog, cat? lol, ya the subaru's do remind me of a TDI with less DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimokalihi Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 And a loud Subaru just sounds like a mad VW to me. I like my subaru quiet as well so I can hear my music or just enjoy some peace and quiet once in a while. I remember when I got the car I had to keep checking the RPM gauge to see if it had died! But I must say, I've heard several WRXs with full exhausts and they sound amazing. They're mean! They sound nothing like the hondas with ricecans on them. I only like exhausts that are nice and deep(I hate the high pitch crackle snap rice sound)or something like a lamborghini. You know how those sports cars sound.

WRX2FFU Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have a stock WRX muffler and pipe on my legacy. Fitment is not perfect but it sounds nice. Not loud in the car at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 An aftermarket replacement from a parts store intended for the legacy should be fine. Just make sure that "performance" isn't anywhere on the label. In my book, subaru's should be quiet, or they should have NO cat back exhaust. When they're quiet, you don't bother anyone, and you leave a positive impression behind. When the exhaust stops after the cat, dam they sound mean. The EJ22 sounds like a V8 at idle, a nice blub blub sound, and when you hammer on it, it just ripps. Nice crackle on decel too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An open exhaust in a car not modified for it can cause a loss of bottom end torque, and also burn up exhaust valves. Ht gasses quickly flowing by steel valves will erode them (friction), slower gas flow avoids this. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I wonder how much of a difference there is between the turbo and non turbo muffler ? I also wonder this. Especially since I've got a 99 non-turbo legacy wagon(as well as a 94 turbo one) and a spare turbo axle-back section. HMMMMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the cat on there, I would think you have enough back pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
