Just got the SPT exhaust installed . . . - Page 2

This is a catback not an axleback. Full 3" stainless steel midpipe.

Probably no HP gain, it's not noticeable at least. There may be some increase, but it's probably only 5 HP or so.

Yeah, I'm almost embarassed about having it installed for me, but laziness is delicious

I haven't noticed any hp/torque gains and didn't really expect any from this type of mod. The sound really is the key to this thing. BTW, I like the way I'm built but it sucks trying to buy clothes.

PSMBoXer · 10-22-2005, 12:53 AM

Can someone please confirm if this is a catback or axleback?

I want to get one, but have heard 2 different things someone told me is catback and someone else said is axle back only.

I thought the SPT exhaust you guys get was the same as the STi Genome (ie. just the axleback?).

Could be wrong.

I read around, didn't realise you guys have an SPT Catback available too.
Guess that's what he put on his car?

The SPT brand exhaust is a catback exhaust.

SPT (Subaru Performance Tuning - Subaru's accessory company) does not make a turbo-back exhaust. They will NEVER make an exhaust that breaks any laws (Emissions). Also they won't make an exhaust that will void your warranty.

To make a long story short, SPT exhaust = Catback only

Ok in order to clear this up...

Bosal SPT - Catback, you get the muffler plus the midpipe. All 3" pipe, and the fits is perfect. Add a down pipe and you will be all set.

Genome STi - Axleback only, 2.5" pipe, no mid pipe. You can allways get a midpipe to get rid of that resonator. Even better with a downpipe you get the daddys mid pipe that goes from 3" tappered to 2.5" and it will fit perfectly with this particular catback.

RG · 10-31-2005, 03:12 PM

Sebtarta, you have your terms confused. The SPT is catback since it includes the midpipe. Genome is axleback since it does not. Axleback goes from the axle back!

Pics ?

Guys, I was going to post pics and sound clips but I lent my dig camera to a friend and haven't seen it since (something about never lend stuff to friends, etc, etc). I'm going to go get it this weekend and get this done.

GPulido · 11-01-2005, 04:53 PM

Sorry about the camera. I'm sure many of us will appreciate you posting these pics.Thank TANK
