I bought Sooby a 2.25" catback with a magnaflow muffler (
14815) for christmas
. Didn't take pics of it until now because I'm lazy. Anyway, enjoy.
Almost looks stock.
More like a resonator than a muffler.
(her badside
with gunmetal front wheels!)

There was more to the last two but my camera decided to be an idiot.
More in that album.

Looks nice Hardy! I'll have to do the vids later but I like the look of the muffler.

Thanks, it sounds really loud to me and it does kinda drown out other sounds but I have really sensative ears. Ryan said it's not too loud though and he's used to the CES turboback.

I like the looks and the sound! Definitely a contender when I decide to get a new muffler! Mind telling how much it cost? Do you notice any difference in torque and power?
BTW, nice 1-2 shift on your second video!

It was 220+tax including parts and labor. Took about an hour. I don't feel any difference but from my very unprofessional tests it is faster.

Dang....
That ain't bad.
If I can find somewhere that can install that, I may have to look into that once I find a new job.....

That sounds so awesome. I think you should post that on Nabisco and see what all the WRX n00bs think
And even though I'm partial to single-tips, that looks pretty good, and I agree it looks stock which is a big plus.
Like I said, if I were still modding my car, that's exactly what I would put on it.

I REALLY like the fact that it looks stock.
I dunno why, but I like the look of dual tips......
That was one of the requirements for any exhaust I get.
I was looking around at prices for if I were to get a 2.5" cat-back.
$100 for a muffler and $20 for tips (none of the mufflers with tips were 2.5").
It has a good sound, and you are looking at about half the price of a Stromung muffler for an entire cat-back.

I think it looks killer Hardy. Can't wait to hear it in person. The dual tip muffler keeps it stealth as well, which I'm a big fan of. Good work!

Keeps what stealth? Just curious.
Nice choice Hardy, I dig it.

Yep, that's what I'd be putting into my Subaru once I get to the exhaust system. Except I might just keep the stock muffler... though that Magnaflow muffler sounds damn good. I too am partial to dual tips on first-year Legacys, so the OEM look you've got going there with the deep, Boxer sound is just awesome.
I dunno about stealth, but it's got definite bling factor. Love that sound!
