Hi all. I have a Subaru Liberty 96, gen 2 Wagon, and i currently only have a cannon on it, and it sounds ok but not like the real deep purrr like a subaru should have, i was just wondering is there anything i can do to my car that will give it the real nice loud subaru rumble and purr and also isnt going to smash my bank account either? I also kinda want it to have more power, are there any real simple things that i can do (me being a rookie in the mechanical scheme of things) to my engine or car???
Any advice would be great thanks.

I don't know about that model in particular, but often the factory exhaust has a wide/flat rectangular resonator that is tuned to reduce some resonant frequencies etc.
Replacing that with a straight-through "hotdog" style resonator might add some rumble.
If you check where the middle section bolts in, you might get lucky and find that a WRX middle section (with hotdog) bolts straight in. Discarded stock WRX exhausts would be easy to come by.
More generally, a larger-diameter exhaust (whole or part of system) will tend to add some noise & rumble too.
