exhaust pics plz, around rear subframe

Post by Someperson »

exhaust shop routed my 2.5" header back under the subframe and back. Headers are late 90s impreza? jonburke said something along those lines. anyone else have theirs routed under the subframe next to the diff? I go over a good bump and get some scraping, will post pics later, need to check and adjust the coilovers if my wrenches come tomorrow. it's a blowthrough high flow reg muffler without a frilly tip. loud as hell... prob gonna get a cat and install for some increased sound deadening.

I wouldn't have guessed there is enough room.....the exhaust is likely hitting the cv axle shaft when you go over a bump.

How low is your car? I have a 3" all the way back and its routed on the passenger side under the subframe (only way you can go basically) and then it curves over to the muffler on the drivers side. Would be a lot better if the bumper was designed for a muffler on the passenger side. I have a pic somewhere but I rarely hit the exhaust on anything but when I do its not that part that hits, its the resonator with is probably 4" and sits a touch lower.

quieter and sounds WAY better than what you had on it... jesus that was way way way too loud... it's routed under in stock location. mocked up a stock exhaust a couple weeks ago and forgot to post back. hitting the ground under/next to the diff and dragging along the straight section if i go over a tall speed bump.... prob 4" clearance... need to swap in the parts struts and clean up the coilovers and prob sell them. they work good but they are only height adjustable.
