@ricoq808 It did feel a little weaker when I had it plumbed back. The guy who did my re-routing last year even did a good job of welding thr pipe at 30-35* into the downpipe. After going atmo again, it pulls harder now since there's no interference from the plumb-back. The biggest loss is the screamer pipe sound, lol.
Sweet! Good to see your car is still running strong as ever :). I sold my subie and bought civic hb for a project. Let the flaming begin :). I have a b18 non vtec swapped in to it so far. runs ok but theres still a bunch of little stuff that needs to be done and of course I want it to be an all motor screamer so theres still lots of work to be done. I'm just gonna buy another b18 to build while i drive it with the mostly stock b18 for the time being.
@tubejoe69 lol my fav car is a mustang. now u sound like my girl. she HATES american cars lol. but yea like i said man glad to see you're doin good. subie is just too expensive 4 me. my job sucks! =)
@xxftwismymottoxx Your girlfriend is awesome, but I like muscle cars too. I just don't like the closed minded owners behind the wheels and on Youtube.
My turbo Volvo could never come close to making such a glorious sound as your little subie makes. Right now it just sounds like a tractor with it's 2.5" straight pipe, haha.
@boxer3main My wastegate was initially dumped to atmosphere at the beginning of my build. Its not an exhaust leak because its regulated by the wastegate.Its also pointed down towards the ground so you don't smell any fumes or burn the car.

@cherrybomb1493 Haha, you can do a motor swap. You can be the first Volvo. Someone already did an EJ motor swap on a Civic hatchback.

@tubejoe69 Haha I think I saw that... the one where he dropped the EG Civic shell onto the WRX frame, right?
That would be a cool swap, but, uhh, converting the EJ to a longitudual mount might prove tricky. Haha.

@cherrybomb1493 Oops, didn't think about that one, hehe.
