What does the inside of an oem WRX muffler look like?

cfvwtuner · 12-10-2005, 03:15 PM

I didnt know where else to put this, so it's here.
I was bored and wondered what the stock exhaust looked like on the inside.

Holy Restriction!

kcook · 12-10-2005, 03:18 PM

whoa... weird.... didnt know that

el arcade · 12-10-2005, 03:24 PM

it's like a maze for those gasses to make it out the freaking axle-back.

I Like It Sideways · 12-10-2005, 03:25 PM

Ay caramba, what a mess!!

Dominus · 12-10-2005, 03:29 PM

Well that does it. Mine is coming of as soon as possible.

demo24 · 12-10-2005, 03:54 PM

anyone want to open an 04-06 and see what the inside of it looks like? One tip versus two tip, may change inside a bit

I'd like to see that or a STi axle back.... anyone think its possible to cut one open and make it a straight flowing design, and re-weld?

cfvwtuner · 12-10-2005, 04:11 PM

My plan was to gut this muffler and make a straight through exhaust.
I was able to hack out all the inside pipes. It left just a pipe in and the tailpipes out.
My welding skill let me down, and my flux core "mig" only burnt nice holes in the case.

KingOfSiam · 12-10-2005, 04:18 PM

Thank you for that.

GregsblueRex · 12-10-2005, 04:22 PM

no wonder an aftermarket exhaust does so much for the subies.

SQC120 · 12-10-2005, 04:27 PM

u r the man.
i always wanted to know.

PHATsuby · 12-10-2005, 05:53 PM

this is sweet good job, I want to see the Sti as well, or LGT.

Yeah, exactly. If I didn't already have an exhaust I would be ordering mine right now. Curious to see how much an STi exhaust differs...

runnah · 12-10-2005, 06:09 PM

Hows does the...

What about the...

FuJi K · 12-10-2005, 06:12 PM

you copy me on cutting it!!!! I cut open my stock '99 Impreza muffler and it looks simliar except mine had one more chamber and 1 more pipe.

hikeeba · 12-10-2005, 08:11 PM

Wow, that's great! Thanks for doing that! But now what? Is it a realistic mod to gut the stock muffler? Those are pretty clean cuts - angle grinder?

I was going to take my axle back off tomorrow jsut to see how things sound. I was considering having a straight pipe installed in place of the axle back. Now you've got me thinking... Thank cfvrtuner!

lethal.adv · 12-10-2005, 08:34 PM

whoa never knew it looked like that

express_wagon · 12-10-2005, 10:42 PM

big thanks from here too, mine'll come off next summer

ScoobyBoy · 12-10-2005, 11:27 PM

hulkmanj99 · 12-10-2005, 11:43 PM

DriftnWRX · 12-11-2005, 12:02 AM

very interesting...
must have been a slow day.

civilone · 12-11-2005, 12:10 AM

Someone do the STi muffler as well.

SpuGen · 12-11-2005, 12:45 AM

How do you think they chop down the sweet notes from the boxer?
