Check out what the Subaru Legacy guys are doing to get a "cool" exhaust sound. What do you guys think? They seem pretty fanatic about it!

I dont know, maybe its just me but I think that noise would get real old real quick, it seems pretty loud in-car and I remember from my friends exhaust on his truck that was loud, it was cool for about 2 days and then it was an annoyance and a headache everywhere you went. Are there any advantages to doing this?

 

Just to create a "cool" exhaust leak sound I think.

 

...

 

you spend that much for a car and you do crap like that. sensational.

 

Damn that 1.5 inch pipe is nasty!!!!

 

hmmm... he needs to eat more veggies and drink vitamins..

 

That is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. If any EVO owners do this to create an exhaust leak, I will Jihad your ***

 

An evo owner has done this before and posted pics.

 

That looks stupid, I wonder what kind of effect it has on performance. I can't imagine it sounds that good either.

 

I think they claimed a couple HP gain in the thread on the Legacy forum. I can't believe someone with an Evo did this!

 

I figured that had to be a joke thread. But 1000+ posts later, I can't tell if they are all still joking or if people are really doing this to their nice new cars????

 

They are doing it... I have a buddy with a Legacy and he is probably going to do this also. I'm obviously trying to talk him out of it. The more posts on this thread that discourage the idea, the closer I will be to talking him out of it

 

I know this guy too. I can believe that he would consider doing something like this to his car. It a disgrace to the Lego.

 

That is indeed one of the worst ideas/mods I ever seen in many years. Definately the owner of that car has zero knowledge on cars or he does not know that he is playing with fire.

Shooting hot gases right bellow the gas tank is not bright, when driven the car hard you might even put flames. There are many other ways to get a better sound in a much safer way.

I am not sure if the guy is looking for sound or he he is trying to get his car in flames but in boths ways the car sounds like crap and I hope he burn the car so that he learns the right way.

By the way, I like those massive solid rear steel control arms, i bet they are very light
