rs exhaust - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Dknits782 · 2010-07-31, 11:28 AM

Hey probably a stupid question but I can't find a reall answer I just bought a 07 rs as a second car would like to put a nicer axle back exhaust if I got a sti exhaust do I have to have it modified to fit

Kevin M · 2010-07-31, 12:06 PM

Yes, you'll have to have the flange that bolts to the midpipe rotated. There's also an exhaust hanger that needs to be modified, but it won't hurt anything to just leave it the way it is. Any exhaust shop can take care of it for you real cheap.

Dknits782 · 2010-07-31, 02:15 PM

Oh not to bad thanks. Is there any good sites or brands that sell axle back exhaust they are hard to find

Kevin M · 2010-07-31, 03:35 PM

Not really. There's just not much market for NA mods. I would just go with a WRX aftermarket exhaust and make modifications as needed to make it fit.

Dknits782 · 2010-07-31, 03:57 PM

Ok cool thanks

Dknits782 · 2010-07-31, 05:33 PM

Kevin M · 2010-07-31, 05:47 PM

Nah, it's no problem for the engine. Just loud and annoying to your neighbors.

Dknits782 · 2010-07-31, 05:58 PM

Lol man I failed at this blog. Thanks for all the help

Dknits782 · 2010-08-06, 08:17 AM

hey i found good condition used borla headers from an 05 rs will they fit on an 06 2.5i or do they need to be modded

Kevin M · 2010-08-06, 09:56 AM

I'm pretty sure they fit.

Dknits782 · 2010-08-06, 12:26 PM

Ok I will try they only want 150 shipped

bigrobwoot · 2010-08-06, 02:52 PM

You'll need a catpipe from an 05 or earlier RS for the headers to work. That is a good price for the headers tho

Dknits782 · 2010-08-18, 11:18 AM

So I ordered the headers is it just the flang that's not going to work or is it the whole set up. If so does anyone have a stock rs cat system I can buy

Dknits782 · 2010-09-20, 12:25 PM

Does any other car besides the rs have the same cat I can't find an cat from an rs

bigrobwoot · 2010-09-28, 11:18 PM

Get an aftermarket high flow cat or trackpipe. Go to Nasioc and/or rs25.com, all your questions will be answered
