Megaflow muffler options-reviews?

Post by macipusy »

Can you guys write me a brief description of your catback and model of Megaflow (or equal) muffler....

I have been searching for options and all the quality brands are $$$

I was thinking of haaving a muffler shop make a custom mid pipe with a megaflow muffler....


I need a quiet setup that does not lack performance....single 4" tip and 3"exhaust ( I like the look of the SPT tip )

Here's how the cool kids do it on the cheap-

Check out jhot imports on ebay (search for them on google).

They've always got subaru axleback exhaust pieces. I picked up a sweet Greddy muffler from them already with hangers and the bends I needed. It was from an impreza so it did need a little bit of adjustment that my muffler place did for 30 bucks.

or
Check forums for used exhaust.

or

On my other legacy I just installed a Summit Racing "turbo" muffler. Reused the stock hangers and bent up some pipe. Muffler was under $30.

I've said it before - You'll probably be happy with any route you choose, you'll hear the sweet boxer rumble with any muffler you get. I've yet to hear a really ricey subaru, all of them have a nice deep tone. As far as performance goes, 3in' from the turbo back (downpipe, midpipe, any muffler) is where it's at. Bonus points for adding a valve to bypass the muffler and go straight pipe when you really want performance.
EDIT: To make it quiet, just stay under 3k RPM :twisted: But seriously, Subaru exhaust is pretty simple, play around with different setups. Remove your muffler completely and see how loud it is, it's definately not earthshattering.

I LOVE my magnaflow!!! 3" Striaght through, sounds soo mean and really smooth. Much better than a flowmaster if you ask me. A lot more classy, and more rumble instead of crackling.

To be honest, I'm not sure. It was a base model straight through muffler with no tip. 3" center inlet and outlet.
