To make the WRX sound like a WRX
 

Hello Everyone

Currently my 2005 WRX sounds like well.. nothing really. You wouldn't hear it if it ran you over.. which is dissapointing.

Could you please make any recommendations on how I could make it sound more like a WRX? I know something has to be done with the exhaust i'm just not sure what.

It is currently on the market though while i've got it I want it to sound sexy ;)

Thanks!

Is your car stock?

a 3' turbo back exhaust will give it the boxer rumble.

but yes if you are going to sell it then you may as well just leave it stock.

If you're going to sell it, the stock appeal will work in your favour, yes?

A rear dif back exhaust will give you the rumble, and want require a retune.
It can also be returned to stock in 15mins.

If you are going to sell it, don't mod it! Waste of money as it will not add anything to the sale price.

yeah if you are selling it, i'd leave it.

could buy a cheap dylan spec exhaust from Dylan, remove the dump and just bolt the 'cat back' part on and then you will have some rumble.

But I agree with PIGSTi, keep it stock, its not worth wasting your money.

If you really really have/want to put an exhaust on even though you're selling
I'd suggest getting one from Troy from Prospeed, it's cheap as chips and is a Trust PE2 cat back exhaust for $499. (forum name "Trexx" or look in the vendor section)

These are high quality jap systems and usually sell for $900.

Leave it as-is, sell it as unmodified. Lots of buyers want something original so they can do their own choice of mods.

+1!

if you want the rumble before you sell it, remove dump pipe and leave as is, do not replace anything or put catback or midpipe back on until you sell it

good luck

Lol yeah that was kind of funny. Took me a bit too to realise what was up hahaha.


To the OP, as Mattmy99 said, diff back if you're dead set on the rumble. Come time to sell the car, offer up the stock exhaust as an option.

Der! did I say "surely you aren't serious" NO however I did say "Huh" as your post made no sense whatsoever! :D

Plus if you buy a good brand one eg the Trust one for half price
you can onsell it once the car is gone and get close to what you
paid back. :icon_thum

^^
it did make sense, you just didn't read it right!
see xsv4rce got it, eventually

I read it correctly it just wasn't very funny or even remotely helpful to the OP.:rolleyes:

it was funny mate
and i was half serious
if i was in his situation i would just run an open exhaust, especially if i was going to sell it soon

give us a break

Have a kit kat! :D

hahahahahah
touche
