Exhaust suggestions!!!
Ignore this dude, all he posts is negativity. Low cars are retarded, loud exhaust is played out... Etc.
If you get an accessport, it can be uninstalled so the dealer never even knows you had it. Also, the exhaust can be swapped for your stock for dealer work. Some dealerships will even install aftermarket parts for you, but I always return to stock to avoid the possible hassle. So your warranty should be fine.
And as far as loud, powerful, and legal...
Loud is illegal, so how loud you go depends on how much risk you are willing to take. You get more volume and power out of a turboback exhaust.
Btw I'm running a high flow catted Perrin downpipe with a resonated 3" straight pipe... Loud! But I love it.
It's your car so do what makes you happy

Ignore this guy, he has no idea of what he's talking about. It's not like I was a Subaru service adviser. Oh wait, I was! Cobb APs can still be detected even when unmarried. Even Cobb employees have admitted this. And FYI, it's not the dealership that will determine coverage of larger repairs. A Subaru of America rep decides that and they have a zero tolerance policy. A dealership selling aftermarket parts has nothing to do with warranty coverage if your engine blows. That's solely a decision on the act of the sales dept to sell that stuff. It has no bearing on service warranties or SoA.
Switching back to stock is legally fraud and can be grounds for automatic denial at some dealerships. This may surprise you but some techs are not idiots. You can tell when a part has been recently touched. Bolts get scratched. Parts come off more easily than they should. Etc.
Cretins should never speak up if they have no idea what they are talking about.

A good set of headers w/external wastegate, catless with a nurspec r youll set car alarms off.
But I would say Fujitsubo for quality.

Maybe UEL. The problem is that the only good (meaning properly made) headers on the market are EL, which will make the car quieter. All of the UELs available are prone to cracking because they use the wrong grade of stainless steel. T304 is not suitable for turbo applications.

You say all this **** to people and you run a gimmick motorsports radiator? Dude, you waste too much of your time telling people what to do.. Oh and running HID jdm bugeye lights? they're aimed the wrong way. didnt see that you did the retro fit of lenses to correct this. seriously its not even close to trolling.

The headlights are fine. They are aimed down far enough that they never face oncoming traffic.
And you're one to talk ERZ downpipe, Bayson R, w/ HID kitted head/foglights. Nice try Bub.

And I regret the purchase of the GMS radiator every day. Notice how that and my radiator hoses are basically my only cheap parts on my mod list? I was moving 1,300 miles 3 days after I found a leak in my radiator and that was all that was in stock. So far it's had 3 failures and I've spent more on tows and in fixing it than what it would have cost to get a Fluidyne radiator in the 1st place. I tell everybody who asks about them that they suck.

Brfatal, I didn't mean to attack you. Your info is useful, just the way you put it out there is abrasive at best. Don't tell someone they don't want a loud exhaust... It's not your car, if he wants loud, it's his car...
Let's get this thread back on topic!
Anyone else have suggestions of their favorite exhaust set up?

I started with a HKS carbon TI, and a high flow catted DP. I loved it sounded great gave a good rumble, and looked good.
I got tired of the noise, and the unwanted law enforcement attention, especially after installing cams.
I now run a catless DP and a borla hush. Its really loud when I want it to be I.E. when I romp on it, and it sounds great when im going slow.
