I'm late to answer, I haven't figured out how to get KZbin to let me know when I have comments and I get notifications all of the time on other things from them. I am still very happy with this! I personally would choose one without the tailpipe just because I drive mild trails quite a bit. I don't think you can pick a loser.

My understanding is that the new Imprezas are just a non-lifted version of the Crosstrek so the sound should be essentially the same. The gearing doesn't seem to effect the sound nearly as much as the throttle so I would expect something very similar. The only other modification I have made is replacing the factory air filter with a K&N, I still have the factory airbox. If you get it and make a video, please share a link!

Spray some wd-40 on it and give it a try

Did you figure it out? The back bolt was what took me as long as long as it took - even though mine wasn't rusted on, I couldn't get even 1/4 turn at a time and spent awhile slowly ratcheting it off and then later back on. Also took me a minute to find the right pair of channel locks to get the factory muffler off of the exhaust hangers. Since it has been over a week I'm going to guess you got it. How do you like your exhaust?

@@TheHanJohn I did! I had to use an impact wrench. Glad I decided to do this because it turns out my factory exhaust was missing a hanger. May have been sold to me like that. Glad I decided to get the Nameless hangers as well. I am a big fan of it overall and setting myself apart from the other 76 million crosstreks on the roads in CO

What do you think the reason is

Ned I mean

Hi! I'm John's oldest daughter, he's never been a passenger with this muffler, I have. It's a little louder in the back than the front but not immensely. You are still able to have quiet conversations with your passengers (front to back), I really like the sound and when you've got the radio playing I don't think it's noticeable. It will of course be louder when you're on the gas, going up hills, etc. but I don't think it's too loud to have as an uber driver. It's an ability to add a personal flair to your car without having to worry about interfering with your passengers.

Hey you see my daughter's response, she saw this and was able to respond before me. I'd add this - it can be pretty quiet if you want it to be. I've driven by cops in small towns I didn't know how they felt about exhausts and I can always keep it pretty quiet with a light foot. The warm idle is almost silent. And the interior videos I shot, the camera was actually mounted at the roof in the back seat. I don't think it is a problem for Uber at all. I'm actually, funnily enough since this is the "executive" axleback, the president of an organization and I have to use my car in professional capacity sometimes. If you like how it sounds I don't think you have any worries. It might be a plus - if they ask you to hurry it will at least sound like you're trying - we all know Crosstreks and Imprezas aren't the fastest cars out there.

is there an exhaust gasket included with the new muffler?? or does it not require one

got one ordered for my 23 crosstrek👌

I do have a K&N air filter but I still have the factory air box. I did that before I added the exhaust and it made a very subtle difference to the factory sound. Adding the exhaust made a huge difference. So I'm not sure how much that affects the current sound, my guess is that it changes it very little. And yes, I still love it.

@@TheHanJohn Great. Thank you.

Yes I have a manual transmission!
