Default 2013 WRX Ultrex mufflers

I just fitted a Ultrex TBE to my 2013 WRX sedan and don't like the drone it makes on the freeway... Thinking of replacing the mufflers but don't know what to change to and that's compatible... Any suggestions or info??

Upgrade car audio, turn it up louder

Who are you getting to tune the car now that it has a TBE?

It's oval with twin outlets... Looks almost the same as standard... I got Matt from Kido Racing to tune it... Amazing tuner..

Could try blocking off one muffler with a small plate and seeing if the noise goes?
I did this with the OEM system and the drone in the back went, ended up getting a custom diff back setup made (single outlet on left side) and haven't had any issues since.

Also achieved a much nicer note than stock

Was thinking of just replacing the mufflers of the TBE Ultrex system... Do you know if the Perrin mufflers would fit?

Stick to the same mufflers
Just get a hot dog installed in the middle of the exhaust system

Exhaust shops charge around 80 or so
Go see Peter at Carline on Newcastle st.

So amazing that his claims include

- sub 5 sec 0-100km SH Forester ( a boat ) with nothing more than a tune

- 12 sec TD04 powered Forester 1/4 mile

- 600+ kms from tank on E85.

All with no proof even though asked a gazillion times.

An amazing liar to be precise, search 'Throttlehappy' on Subaru car forums forums and have a good read.
