I'm saving up for 02 or 03 wrx sedan and I was wondering which exhaust to buy. I'm really leaning towards the Apex'i GT Spec catback. I was looking at the HKS Hi-Power but I think they slant in the back in an angle and I don't like that so I was looking for one that goes straight out and sound's nice but that shouldn't be hard since the boxer engine sounds sooooooooooo nice. But any help would be greatly appreciated and if anyone knows where I can find a sound clip let me know. One more thing how difficult is it to install a catback?

 

look at the JIC spartan, blitz sus-touring, greddy evo. these are more traditional looking type

 

Some sound clips here, enjoy:

Thanks for the site and all input, i was wondering how hard is it to install? is it basically just unbolt old exhaust and install new or is it more complex

 

it's pretty simple, unbolt from the resonator (Center) pipe, remove from exhaust hangers. use lots of wd40

 

are the perrin exhaust good high quality or should I steer clear of that company?

 

steer towards them if you would like.. perrin makes some good products.. i have heard the perrin double tip, and its sounds preaty mean..

 

I was looking at the double tip since it doesn't look like the typical coffee can and i think I found some pretty good prices on the double tip if anyone knows of good places online to shop let me know please because there is no where around here that sells anything for cars (tiny town SE connecticut)

 

the perrin twin tip sounds really good, but i had some fitment issues on my 02 WRX. on my car, the straight pipe was hitting my floor board, and when it was adjusted, the axle back hit my rear end. either way i couldn't win. i ended up getting a completely different cat-back.

stromung makes a really nice dualtip catback/turboback exhaust. people say it's one of the best sounding exhausts on the market. there's a vendor on here (flash and dash) who specializes in stromung exhausts, check out the vendors forum. you can also look at the prodrive axleback, this is very stock looking, and also has a great sound.

 

both the apex gt spec and hks hi power look almost the same. Plus both are angled exhaust.


Perrin is nice but it's really loud. If you like that, then by all means, buy it.

 

I got Apex-i Gt spec

 

another view

 

It also comes with a silencer just in case you don't want it loud

 

nice pics! however i went with HKS. lol
