Anyone have Dual Tips on their Pre-99 Legacy?
I just ordered the MRT exhaust with dual tip muffler for my 99 GT sedan. I am a little worried as to whether or not it will fit. Brian at Langston Subaru didn't make any comments about dual tips not fitting but I just want to be sure.
Let me know. Thanks Brad

MY99 2.5GT - The dual tips will not work on the GT without cutting the rear valence. I have the Brullen dual 3" tip cat-back on my Legacy L, and if there was a rear valence there, it definately would not work.

Crap!
I am pretty sure but, can anyone confirm that the axle back section of the exhaust is the same between Legacies and Imprezas? Thanks for the help GTBGUY! Brad |

FYI
MY99 2.5GT - Rear muffler section hangers are slightly off between the mufflers (as well as tip lengths etc).
Here's a pic of my '98L w/ the Dual 3" tips. Notice no rear valence. |

Having had both an Impreza and a Legacy MRT exhaust sitting in my garage at the same time, I can definitely say the axle-back sections are not the same. No huge differences - a muffler shop could "fix" things easily - but as GTBGUY said the hangers and details like that are a bit different.
I'm pretty sure MRT doesn't sell the Legacy muffler with the dual tips, and I think the reason is because it won't fit. It would certainly look sweet, though, if you don't mind doing a little Dremel work on your plastic valence. Pat Olsen '97 Legacy 2.5GT sedan |

Thanks for the info guys. Cutting my bumper isn't going to happen.
I initially wanted a single tip with a larger tip. Brian (MRT Distributor I ordered from) said MRT has no larger single tip that they could include with their exhausts. GTBGUY any word on universal Brullen Muffler prices? Thanks Brad |

Unfortunately I don't have an exhaust-specific picture, but here are two different rear quarter shots that show the exhaust tip: http://www.submariner.org/thepno95/P...ls_rearqtr.jpg and http://www.submariner.org/thepno95/P...TatSummit4.jpg Pat |

Pat-I was talking about the exhaust tip. I definitely don't want a larger overall muffler. That thing is huge already.
On MRT's website this is printed under Legacy Exhausts: "Choice of muffler tips available - standard option is a 2 1/2-chrome tip." Then also this: "NOTE 3-inch SS tip shown extra NOTE not suited for models with coil over rear shocks see alternate part". Don't ask me why the 3" tip won't fit with Coi-Overs but I will assume you have the 3" tip in this picture: This is a 4" tip. Thats what I want. I'm also pretty fond of stainless steel mufflers. |
