Cherrybomb Glasspack, 2 questions?
Alright so, I dont have enough money for a full catback exhaust...and honestly Im not going to save up for on either. If i have that kind of money i will spend it on bills.
Ill need a new muffler soon, and i am just wondering as far as cheap mufflers go <$75...is the best bang for your buck to go for Cherrybomb glasspack?? I dont need extra HP, i just want a nice low rumble. Not a fart can ricer sound. Also was thinking about a Thrush Welded or Thrush Turbo. Also, second, if I decide on glasspack...they dont make them in any color other than bright red, do they?? I really ould rather just have that stainless steel peeking out from my bumper instead of bright red. I did search for muffler options and read up on it, and thats why I came to the cherrybomb conclusion, so please dont say "you need to search."...The thrushes were added in from when I was muffler shopping for my Ford Ranger over the summer. Thanks!

If you're not going to do it right, just don't bother. You're going to piss away $150 for a muffler that is going to rot in 6 months to a year.
If you're going to be cheap, look for something like an OBX, they look decent, sound good and will last a while. |

You can do a glass pack without going to thrush. They are a cheap way to quiet down the exhaust but as they age, the fiberglass will pack down and they will be louder. You can also buy various lengths to meet your needs. I had sidEpipes on my ffr cobra made from glasspacks and they were fine

Either way, It's a bad idea. If you've never ridden in an uncorked Subaru, It's not pleasant. Coming from a Ford Ranger, your exhaust noise would be well outside the vehicle, just annoying everyone else. In a coupe, sedan or wagon, the trunk reverberates everything, and Subarus aren't exact known for their sound deadening. |

But annoying everyone else? Im not looking to get a loud obnoxious ricer noise. My Ranger had a nice steel rumble to it but it wasnt loud. Just a different sound. |

I agree, don't bother. I did a flow master and within less than a year it rusted up. The packing came loose as well. I really wasn't surprised.

And you can't really get a fart can sound out of a Subaru unless you have an EL header. |

Take an icepick to your current muffler and attack it like it was raping your mother. You get the catback sound for $0.

If it was a WRX, I would still say don't do it, but it's pretty hard to make the turbo versions sound bad since they have UEL manifolds that give it that "Subaru rumble." Your car has EL manifolds, so unless you get some UEL headers by adding any sort of loud muffler it will just sound like a Honda. When I had my 2.5i I had a STi catback, and my buddy has a SPT catback on his 2.5RS. Both sounded/sound pretty good in my opinion, but neither are very loud. I would highly advise you to try and find either an STi or SPT catback, if you don't want either of those or can't find one for the price you're looking for, at least try and stick with a (quiet) magnaflow or something similar. |
