Looking to put an exhaust and header on my 05 rs. I was thinking of Borla header and Borla cat back but looking for suggestions on what elts might sound better or preform better.

Im looking to have a good sounding Subaru but not ignorantly loud. I do like the sound of the stromung so I might go with that.

borla header and prodrive axleback. the prodrives are stupid money but smooth and mellow. I had one on my 2.5i I bought with it new, and stupidly sold it for something louder. live and learn I suppose

I like the sound of the prodrive but I think I'm leaning towards the stromung.

had a stromung on a GC coupe. too loud and droning, esp @ highway speeds. g/f basically refused to ride in the car -- "do we have to take the Boom Box to town tonight?"

went with STI catback take-off instead, a real nice combo with the borla headers

I have herd a few 2.5rs's with the borla header and sti cat back and they sound pretty good but I have also herd a few that seemed s little raspy and I don't want that. Does yours sound raspy or does it have the good subi tone to it?

His has a nice tone to it. The sound produced can depend on your driving style also. My 1.8 can sound ricey or nice and deep depending on shift points and how much I get on the gas.

I just slapped a 2" thrush turbo muffler in when I replaced the exhaust.

tone is subtle suby rumble on startup or low revs in traffic, when you boot it and motor comes onto cams @ 4000, there's no doubt as to what brand of angry lil car it is.

the raspy noises often come from too much restriction in the pipes, and/or those dread Subaru heat shields.

borla header, stock cat, glass pack for a resonator, 2.5 inch pipe from cat back,flowmaster muffler.......sounds amazing and is by far cheaper than any stromung.......does not get raspy and is deep sounding.....I love the sound

So for an exhaust I will be going with a Borla header stromung high flow cat, wrx mid pipe and a prodrive axle back should have her running tonight or tomorrow so hopefully she will sound great.
