i heard one of these exhausts last week, they sound really good, they are quiet and rumbly and deep, very nice exhausts! I might get ones of them sometime in the near future.

My friend just got his on, well a few weeks ago. The sounds is great, specially if you are behind the car. Very nice deep rumble voice coming from the car.
He told me also, that the car seems to breath better, which is noticable. Also his gas milage went up a bit too.

I will try an see if this weekend i can get a video, don't promise anything...

Yup. If you read the Subaru Performance Mag, they made a review on it, it was on the first issue if I remember correctly.

I want one. I don't care about the performance. That is the exact sound I am looking for.

I beg to differ.

1) It's not full 3". It has a neck-down where it connects to a downpipe. If you ever get a 3" DP, you will have a bottleneck there.

2) It fit horrible on my car TWICE. Check this link.

As you can see in this link, the intermediate pipe is dull unfinished stainless pipe, unlike the "Bosal" labelled one which is discontinued due to an agreement with SPT. Unlike higher quality units that you can buy for nearly the same price, the SPT axleaback does not have stainless hangers. The rust very quickly. Click on that link I provided and you can see a little rust on them there when it was fresh out the box. Now they are totally rusted.

The sound is great, everything else about it is trash. That's just my opinion though.

Will the bosal axle back portion bolt up to to the TXS stealth back to make it a full 3"? Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
