Does the Cobb downpipe still have the 2.5" bottle neck at the end?

Sounds great! Another excellant Cobb product!

Keep in mind that this is a prototype. It will go through a couple revisions before we decide to go into production.

Our BOV will fit in the same category as our intake

That BOV sounds great. I miss hearing that sound like I could on my Speed3 with the MS CAI. How far out are we looking? And will the OTS Cobb Stage 2 map good for your downpipe + exhaust + BOV?

But I dont want it to drone when cruising on highway speeds because it will get quiet annoying. Any info about it droning at cruising speeds?

+1 on the droning. If it drones, that will be a no go for me. If I want drone, I'll drive my RX-8

need any test cars??? how long before this is released??? im itching for something to make my car sound meaner.

pisymbol · 03-21-2008, 04:52 PM

What expected release date, this sounds awesome? What are the gains you are seeing in general?

GhoSStRyda · 03-21-2008, 05:36 PM

looks and sounds great!!!

Subw00er · 03-21-2008, 06:26 PM

I actually really like the raspiness and general sound of it. However, I also feel its too loud and definitely cant deal with droning, too old for that! I wanted to stay with all COBB parts, but that sounds like it may be too loud for me. I am at stage 1 now with the Accessport and I am buying the air box as soon as its ready (hurry up!

) and will also buy the DP so I can get it protuned to stage 2 all at the same time (Dont want to pay for two protunes). If the exhaust sounds good and isnt too loud, I will do a full TBE. Ideally, I'd love to have something maybe only 15% louder than stock, but with more character (Raspiness, backfiring/burbling, etc, I love).

What we really need is a butterfly valve like the new vettes have. Thats the best of both worlds, but based on what I've read, and my own minor experience with tuning these cars, I dont think the finicky subaru tuning could deal with one.

BTW, can you take a video of inside the car, and keep the audio quality on high? This would help us gauge better.

Uhm, any eta on the air box?

Wow that sounds sick!!

I wish my all COBB setup sounded more like that!

Brand · 03-21-2008, 06:46 PM

Definitely dig it, if you can tone it down a bit and resonate it more or something I'll be all over it - that sound is great, but closer to WOT heh. A bit too much of a cop magnet for me at the moment although I would love to hear that sound all the time

droideka · 03-21-2008, 08:26 PM

Jeomk.

mofoSTI · 03-21-2008, 08:35 PM

I ran a helix catless dp and a cobb catback on my 04 and really liked the sound, but it was on the loud side. I am sure with a res and cat it would be a lot more mature for the street.
