Default Best place to get exhaust

I'm in the market for a new TBE and was wanting some advice about where I should go. I've looked at the RMS system (about $1.8k)and was pretty impressed but not sure of other suppliers. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't get a Cannon .. Get something along the lines of a nice 3" S/S with a Oval Muffler - This bring out the nice deep rex burble while not being too loud.

Have a look at mine, if you like i'll give you the name of my contact. This System cost $2200, but I had the up-pipe done at the same time.

I have a mms tbe system sitting in my shed that i bought off a mate who rolled his car. I have heard good things about these systems. Anyone got one fitted? It did sound awesome on my mates car, that is why i jumped at buying it off him. Deep sound without being too loud.

Haha, hey mate .. Too quiet, too restrictive .. wanted the burble and unleash a bit of power. Good platform for further mods in the future.

I bought one from a person that imports 3" S/S Turboback Exhaust systems that come with all the bolts and gaskets plus an up-pipe for $650. They fit from 94-06 wrx and sti's.

I had the pleasure of bolting it on myself with my dad and brother on the weekend. Saved myself $1000 in the process, i got to know my engine ALOT better and it sounds GREAT. Had a LITTLE fiddling around, but after a few lining issues with a bracket (which wasnt even THAT bad) we got it to fit.

You can go to xspeed and pay $1700 and get it done nicely, or you can give it a crack yourself and save some money plus learn from the experience. And honestly, id do it again if it saved me $1000 again!

OR....


You could get Dylan's (rexwaggon) China Spec TBE system... Around $650 to $700 new. Full Stainless. And although it does have a canon muffler. Because it also has a resonator in the mids pipe the system is not overly loud and does not drone into the cabin. Although you can always change the rear muffler later.

Heaps of other people including myself have one, And are very happy with it.

Hmm i bought mine off a guy named Dylan. Was a champion and was just over in Bassendean. Cost me $650, came with a cannon and has a resonator making it less of a drone. Could this be a conincidence? ;p And i would recommend him aswel. Top bloke!
