Found a cheap exhaust mod
I don't know if anyone has done this yet or even put it out there but I have a cheap exhaust modification I did myself and can be done at any exhaust shop if you take it there. It also sounds very nice. I was looking for the deep, low rumbly exhaust not the honda weedwacker sound and I've got it and didn't break my pocketbook either. You are all aware for the most part of the Cat's in the exhaust of the Suby. There is 3 I believe. Well, about the center of you car under the console there is a resonator that's about 1 1/2 ft long and about 8 inches wide that has chambers for the exhaust to go through. I and a buddy, both with '06's (he has the sti) cut that out and put a straight pipe in place of it. Then put a flowmaster muffler in place of the stock. What you get is practically a Catback exhaust but for only paying for the 40 series flowmaster muffler and the straight piping. Midas will do it for around 50 bucks for the cut and pipe weld and then it depends on where you go to get the muffler purchased and put on. Total for Midas (which is a little more expensive than others) was about 280.00 total. That includes the muffler, straight pipie, cut and welding. I also had them paint the muffler black for my car. I sure you can do the same for other colors. I did notice a slight gain in the car but I have no dyno to prove it sorry. I do know that it sounds nice for sure and I'm asked quite often where I got my exhaust done. Ok well, have fun and drive save guys/gals. Later
