So, managed to get hold of some MY11 WRX quad rear mufflers, identical (apparently) to the earlier MY09 WRX STi mufflers.
My aim is to replicate the Gen V STi mufflers at around 10% of the retail cost - see viewtopic.php?f=38&t=11048.
Its a fair guess the inside of these are identical to the WRX STi/widebody MY11+WRX regular mufflers. The only thing I cant get/do is the STi siamesed polished tips.
Following BigBADBenny's (and Robbks) lead with this neat upgrade for a better note, some more flow but a stock look and (hopefully) no drone. viewtopic.php?f=55&t=21958&p=317107&hilit=sti%2Fwrx+widebody#p317107
So some grotty WRX mufflers, plenty of tar sprayed on these cans: image by Muzza03, on Flickr
After a clean up with some kero and truckwash they come up pretty well, they aren't going to rust being 409 Stainless
De-tipped by drilling out the welds underneath, ready to go see the exhaust bloke for some tip work to fit the bumper cutout.

The stock WRX tips are 80mm each, too wide for the 150mm cutout in the GenV wagon bumper, so allowing for around 20mm air gap a couple of 55 mm pipes coming together in the centre in some nice shiny 304 stainless single wall slash cut should look pretty neat, a la Gen IV STi style, with some stagger maybe - well that's the plan, but see how it goes with the exhaust place....
More to come....
