Video of my Invidia Catless DP + Race Catback but with the stock axleback STi Muffler

Mike 01Hawk · 09-06-2009, 01:40 PM

MUCH better IMO than running the invidia 'cherry bomb' cannon.

YouTube - 2005 STi Invidia Catless Downpipe + 3 inch resonatorless intermediate + STOCK STi axleback muffler

Sounds pretty bad imo ;\

Mike 01Hawk · 09-06-2009, 02:05 PM

Yeah, it was much more "poppy" for the video shoot for whatever reason (it was warmed up)

clkoontziii · 09-06-2009, 02:39 PM

i run a txs stealthback with an sti axelback. too quiet and I had to do something so I put a DMH cutout in the axelback Perfect sounding and quite when I want lol

IIdiceII · 09-06-2009, 02:41 PM

that sounds LIKE ****!

i would know. Ive had a catless exhaust with an sti axleback. its the worst sounding setup you could ever possibly have.

ewwwwwwwww

Had high hopes, good creative attempt but im afraid if the video is a representation of what it actually sounds like it was horrible for a subaru.

Keep in mind if you like it nothing else matters.

Mike 01Hawk · 09-06-2009, 02:56 PM

Oh granted, it's not perfect at all. But it's better than what it had and was a cheap 'fix'.

My next step will be a MadDad Whisper cat back if I feel willing to spend the premium.

I have a borla catback that I'm selling, I switched to cobb. I was running just the downpipe on the stock axleback too.

not flaming or insulting you but the hondas around here sound better...
but +1 that clears that up for many people that were probably going that way

rico_q808 · 09-06-2009, 08:46 PM

that sounds like crap

binx159 · 09-06-2009, 08:58 PM

not a fan

Mike 01Hawk · 09-06-2009, 09:37 PM

I really need to reshoot a vid, that vid is really NOT a good example.

IIdiceII · 09-06-2009, 10:04 PM

it sounds exactly like my car did with a catless sti axleback setup dude. not good. the car sounds broken

RayN · 09-06-2009, 10:26 PM

sounds like you have a nut stuck in your muffler

dazedone · 09-06-2009, 10:46 PM

yuck!

fastwrx25 · 09-07-2009, 06:24 AM

I'm a fan of the stock sti muffler..but when catless like that I don't like.

the prodrive and cobb sound good imo. pick up a used one for cheap.

crash60068 · 09-08-2009, 05:22 AM

just get a mid pipe with a resinator

FCmaniac · 09-08-2009, 03:26 PM
