Exhaust system
I was just wondering what kind of exhaust system people have on their 06 ralliarts. Was trying to look for some but can only find a handful of them on the internet. I live in canada too so i dont really know what a reliable website would be to order from. If anyone can help a brotha out with some answers that would be awesome thanks

Detailed answers for you are in the forums here, just search (and read 
)
To summarize, though:
1. Stock system is well designed, not any proven gains from aftermarket headers. Only go bigger diameter full system if you are turbo.
2. Get an exhaust shop to do this simple effective mod that many of us have done: where the exhaust pipe goes under the engine, a short section of mid-pipe is squashed almost flat (I recall it is hiding under a sheet metal cover). Cut this section out and weld in a straight round length.
3. Leave the cat and resonator in place unless you like annoying drone.
4. Aftermarket muffler is optional as stock flows well. Just change out for different sound. I use a Flowmaster DBX that sounds rich and a bit louder without being ricy or farty - had that installed when doing the mid-pipe replacement. Old school Cherry Bomb is nice too.
5. Get a chromed tip to totally improve the look of the wimpy little brown stock pipe poking out the rear.
Enjoy the RA!

I just installed the ultimate racing exhaust on my 04 sportback ralliart.
Midpipe was broken in half and splinted together-the heat shield on the pipe caused a week rust spot where the clamps hold the heat shield
I followed a link from truthdwellers build and everything he wrote was dead on.
Had to add a 1-2" extention to the rear muffler bolt since the wagons bumper is lower.
Biggest issue was removing rusted bolts from cat.
Sound is good deep and not too loud(although a lot louder than stock)
Was 500$ on sale with resonator section
Looks great -build quality very good not disapponted at all

Not sure about the ebay quality but the other 2 are top notch
