Cobb Cat-back
What do you guys think about the Cobb Tuning Cat-Back Exhaust? Does anyone have any pictures of a wrx with it installed? Any suggestions for other cat-backs? Thanks
Would also love to hear feedback about the Cobb and see a pic of an install...Can't decide between the Cobb or a Scoobysport, although hear Scoobysports are hard to come by...

have any pics, but I'd be happy to post some this weekend.
It installed without a hitch. I also got the urethane hangers
to stiffen everything up.
My car is a daily driver so I didn't want anything too loud,
but I wanted to hear the car. It's deep and mellow, just
like Cobb says.

Yes, the Cobb cat-back sounds just right. You
definately can hear the engine. And it's not at all
annoying. Great on the highway.
Make no mistake, people turn their heads if you
get on it...it really makes our little flat fours sound
nice.

I've had a cobb catback for a couple months now. Love the sound, love the looks! Here's a pic of it installed:
There's another pic in this batch of pictures:

One note: I have a TurboXS dp with a catback connector. The midpipe on the cobb catback is meant to take the STOCK DONUT gasket. Unfortunately, the turboxs catback connector needs a flat metal gasket, so I have an exhaust leak at the midpipe right now. I'm in the process of either getting a special donut gasket or cutting the flange off and welding a new one on. To avoid this, you can get a downpipe that made to fit to the stock midpipe, or a downpipe that only replaces the stock downpipe and not the catpipe. Just fyi so you don't go through the same troubles I'm going through.

That looks sweet...That's exactly how it would look on my Rex since it's black w/no spoiler...Now I really can't decide on exhaust or reflash first...where's that tree everyone is always talking about?
wrxman69 still want to see your pics too...
