Hey guys I'm a subie newbie here, I'm working on trying to man up my car a bit and one of the things I'm looking at is making it sound better without voiding any warranties. From what I've read it seems like the thing to do would be to put on a new muffler or switch out the air intake, any help or suggestions are welcome!!!

Yes, I have a 2013 subaru impreza hatchback. Thanks for the quick response!

Hi



a catback (mid pipe to the back) will make a rumble.

ScoobyinWA

Thanks mistaanime, what would I need to have done exactly(and how much could it cost)? I don't want anything too loud, just loud enough to make people look twice.

Thanks for the help.

I was just on another forum and someone said I should go for an axle back because it would save me money since I wasn't going for power, but sound. Any ideas on this guys???

yea go for an axleback

An axleback is not going to be very loud. Anything you do is going to have to be custom since nothing is made for your model.

ScoobyinWA

I was looking at a website that said something was compatible. So you're saying these wouldn't be compatible: 2013 Subaru Impreza Exhaust Systems | Performance Exhaust & Exhaust Tips at CARiD.com

Those are all generic mufflers than need to be welded to your exhaust.

ScoobyinWA

Wasn't that already going to be necessary?

Brfatal

Hence when I said "custom".

arent NA impreza use equal length headers?
it will be buzzy and high pitch with an axle back
IMHO, leave it alone

get WRX or STI if you want your car to sound good
