Hog-zawst System - Exhaust Mod

[GTSPECB STI]

This is a thread that was started sometime ago on legacygt.com. It made me LOL plenty but after seeing how many Libo/Legacy owners tried this with good results it has made me wonder. I am thinking about doing this on the weekend just for giggles.

Quote: This is a bolt-on exhaust, keeps stock hanger locations, and even keeps the stock tips! This is what makes it so inexpensive!! Makes it completely stock looking, but unleashes a ton of that boxer rumble at idle, and turns into a tame roar when you floor it. A few backfires and pops always accompany it.

I won't release the price of this yet - i'd like to hear your opinions first. But I'll say one thing...You think cat-backs that cost several hundred were crazy? So did I. This is something that will NOT hurt your wallet!!

Here is an audio clip of it outside the car: Cheap digicam, so it's alot deeper than it will record - but still provides a decent idea...

All that was done was to purchase 8 3/8" washers from a hardware store. Remove 2 bolts and nuts from muffler flange, remove gasket, put 2 washers on each bolt inbetween the flanges, and tighten nut back down. This creates a 1/4" gap - and this was all that was done to create your very own hogzaust. Enjoy!!

I had been looking at this for ages, when a few weeks ago I decided to take 10 minutes out of my day and do it, for shits and giggles.

I started it up and drove it, and although amusing for about 2 minutes, it sounded like shit. Sounds like a tinny dak dak Corolla or the like with an exhaust. Completely takes away from the nice sound of the car.

Doesn't sound TOO bad on the vids, but in real life just sounds gay.

BUT, it is something you are going to have to do just for a laugh to see how loud your car will go because at times it did sound tough on boost.

Prob not for the pre-MY07 models either. Equal length headers?

It's probably illegal anyway.
