Want to trade locally for a quieter 3" turbo back! in SF, CA.

I just picked up a 2004 Forester XT. Being a long time DSMer(since 1997), this is my first Subaru so bear with me while I learn the ropes.

I got the car with a Turbo back exhaust installed on it. I don't know who made the exhaust parts. The previous owner said it's a 3" WBR Performance cat back with a 3" catless downpipe (he didn't know the brand). I don't know what "WBR" is and when I looked at the downpipe, I saw "BBP" stamped on it.

The 3" turbo back is a little too loud for my tastes but my 3 year old girl loves it. I may try to get a friend to weld a cat on the downpipe. I used to have a 3" turbo back on my DSM with a Thermal Research muffler and it was really quiet and I'm trying to achieve the same sound level. I'm not trying to go all out modifying the car anyway so I prefer to have a cat on the car (save the environment!).

If anyone wants to trade, come check it out. I'm going to drop the exhaust anyway sometime this week so I can put the stock exhaust on and get it smogged. I may just put an STI exhaust on and leave it at that, even if it's only 2.5" and may cost some performance benefits. I think this exhaust *SHOULD* fit 2004-2007 wrx/sti's. From doing my research, it looks like this is an exhaust made for 2004-2007 wrx/sti's but also fits 2004 FXT but the tip doesn't stick out far enough to clear the reat bumper valence on a the FXT.

Posting here on the regional board, before I post on the national board.

Suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for your time.

I welcome all suggestions...

I think my options right now are:

My first option is to trade someone for another 3" exhaust, being quieter than mine.

Second, weld a bottle resonator on the midpipe + weld a cat onto the 3" downpipe

Third and last resort, STi exhaust, with a cost to performance.

Yep thats a cobb replica. The greddy EVO2 i would classify as a middle noise level exhaust. I had one on my bugeye and I absolutely loved it, but there are def. quieter ones out there. Oh if you can get your hands on a Prodrive those are quiet too.

Could be a cobb rep that had the tip chopped off and replaced with something else. My cobb rep has a single walled slash tip..

Also..the bend on the axleback piping is tucked to the body more..mine hangs a lot lower.

Haha fair enough, definitely the sleeper setup that can wake up in a rage too but that's mostly from my dp.. The Prodrive is sick too he's right!
