2019 Subaru Crosstrek Nameless muffler delete newest version!

[@jryantap]

I really do appreciate your time for making this video (and the install video as well). It's July 2020 now and because of this video, it made me decide to go ahead and purchase the 5" muffler version for 2019 Crosstrek CVT. Thank you!!

[@mikeodonnell5476]

Awesome! Let me know how that one sounds. Part of me is second guessing not getting that version.

[@jryantap]

@@mikeodonnell5476 installed! Looks great and SOUNDS great!

[@constructapex2021]

Im partial to borla catbacks ive had 2 for 2 different imprezas but i got a 2019 crosstrek 2 days ago and i kinda wana try out nameless! Appreciate the no nonsense high quality video man

[@GoFastRC]

Love your wheel and tire set up!! I am getting a crosstrek in a couple of months, it’s my first car and I can’t wait to have a little rally car!!!

[@imprezaguy9958]

Just installed lowering springs on my ‘18 Impreza hatch and I want to get this exhaust eventually. Thank you for the video.

[@lightning7582]

You can always add some extra sound deadning material to the inside cabin in the back. It's a wagon, hatch thing. Just a great big echo chamber. I live in the muscle car world and I get tired of people complaining about drone. You put exhaust on to hear it. Open headers is one thing way too loud. Your ride is sweet sir!

[@mikeodonnell5476]

Yeah I’ve thought about doing that but it’s not that big of a deal for me. Thank you!

[@noahguy562]

Great video quality and you clearly took a great deal of effort to put out a well thought out thorough review

[@JeffSpehar-ov1cn]

I like the hidden exhaust which keeps ground clearance.

[@duolccmjohn]

Really nice Crosstrek, I have the 2019 Crosstrek in the cool grey Khaki. Subaru makes the best all wheel drive vehicles, I love the dark blue color on your Subie.

[@dareeltoro6681]

I can’t handle drone any more….those young years are behind me. Nice video 👌

[@e21junkie]

Nice sound exhaust I have a borla axle back on my 15 Subaru sport wagon and it use to have loud cold starts like that-but after I guess 2-3 years after install they break in and have a great sound-still loud just not as loud

[@dakotatupper3231]

That doesn't make sense once they break in and the inside gets wet it only breaks down and gets louder by design thats wtbe whole reason anyone would ever replace a muffler

[@gabbylee5966]

I love this! I just got to 2021 sport in khaki grey and definitely thinking about adding this!

[@Shromp-sh7lh]

That's exactly the kind I'm currently saving for. Congratulations!

That'll sound mean with the 2.5L engine

Nice man, completes the pipping, I love keeping to a brand if I can. This completes the cat-back

[@hondamotorsrider]

I swear they say on their site that it works with the factory style hitch that bolts to the bumper support and not the unibody (“frame”)

[@michaelanthony5335]

My 2019 crosstrek manual would sound good with this . Hoping nameless ships out to Canada

I’m not sure but I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

What would it be like for my 2015 with a 5sp? At 70mph my engine turns about 3200 rpm in 5th gear.

[@xGhouI]

cvt sounds hideous with muffler deletes. manual forever.

[@Frank-fe7ly]

I got the one with the 5” mufflers and I find it too loud so I can imagine how loud is the one with muffler delete

[@mikeodonnell5476]

It’s definitely not quiet, I do wish I went with the resonator model.

[@doghousexpeditions]

Your video really makes me want to pull the trigger on the 5" muffler option. I do however have a hitch... Have you heard anything more about this issue? I have the Subaru hitch, which is mounted on the body, not underneath. Hoping that would make a big difference...

[@mikeodonnell5476]

I don’t know much but nameless told me it won’t work with any hitch they know of.

[@nirvantyagi6238]

Nice vid. Hey I like your red rear tow hook! Do you know where you got it? Looking to get one for my Crosstrek.

[@skratchikonz]

Do you know if a 2” curt hitch receiver will get in the way of this system?

[@mikeodonnell5476]

As far as I know, no hitch will work.

[@17jarbear]

would you say its more quite, loud, about the same as the single exit nameless pipe? considering this one for my 2021 trek, but I still want the noise

[@mikeodonnell5476]

I think it’s actually a bit louder at acceleration, but quieter at low rpm cruising along.

[@17jarbear]

@@mikeodonnell5476 have you noticed any bumper melting?

[@mikeodonnell5476]

J Phillips nope none at all

[@lucidtrevv]

i just purchased this exhaust with the 5” mufflers for my 2020 trek. did you end up having to buy a new gasket or any additional bolts for installation? i’m hoping the install is as easy as it seems

[@leo-fs7zu]

Nice video . I m trying to put muffler delete version on my 23 Impreza sport . Wondering do you have problem with state inspection? I m from pa .

[@mikeodonnell5476]

No inspection here in mn

[@amoni1959]

The drone is going to get to you man. I put the nameless catback on my FXT. gave me headaches before I got used to it. It’s that damn CVT. Makes the exhaust sound bad. I gotta email nameless and ask for or a resonated mid pipe.

[@mikeodonnell5476]

I had their straight pipe delete on for about a year before I put this one on. I’m already used to it

[@itsonlyamazda4671]

I’m debating on getting either the 5” muffler or muffler delete version for my 21 impreza hatch. I want to get the muffler delete version however I am worried about the drone. The rest of my exhaust is stock resinated midpipe, stock cats, stock headers. From your experience will just the axleback muffler delete version cause a lot of drone? The 5” muffler just needs to be a little bit more raw and just a tad bit louder for me, I just want a proper setup without drone or at least without excessive drone that would annoy my mom or dad riding with me.

[@mikeodonnell5476]

Go with the muffler, I wish I had! The delete drones a fair bit.

[@BPR_CHICAGO_22]

Had a quick question about the 5in muffler vs delete which one has more of a rumble I don’t really care about drone? I have a 2022 crosstrek cvt

[@mikeodonnell5476]

The delete is louder and probably more rumble

[@drewh5406]

Do you have to replace the exhaust gasket when installing the new exhaust?

[@mikeodonnell5476]

Yes you do, and it comes with a new gasket.

[@hunnydipz9786]

I currently have the single exit Nameless muffler delete. Would you say this produces a different sound? And which do you like better?

[@mikeodonnell5476]

It’s different, not by a ton. But this is deeper I think. If I did it over I’d get the resonated version.

[@madoctopusmedia]

Non subaru related question...what size is that shirt and where did you get it. I love the nameless exhaust have it on my impreza 😃👌🏽

[@Yakotologist]

Since I'm pretty sure a muffler delete is illegal in MA, I was thinking about getting the 5" muffler quad tips. I know you don't own it, but would you recon there being a big sound difference between the two versions? Or would it simply just be quieter? Thank you!

[@mikeodonnell5476]

My understanding is it’s slightly quieter and less drone.

No I don’t believe so, but double check with nameless

[@kermit1]

I wish there was an exhaust which would give it the rumble that the WRX has.

I think you’d have to get a UEL(unequal length) header to really get the rumble. But this exhaust gets close.

hey im new to this stuff and i am deciding which one shoudl i get. I need a loud exhaust. But i dont know which one. Hehe 2018+crosstrek quad exit Axleback Exhaust. muffler delete or 5”Mufflers? those two are different right? and whats the different?

Is ur crosstrek AUTO? Or manual

Nameless has both this version and their straight pipe that have a small resonator muffler and are quieter. Those are both good options.

Borla makes an axle back muffler as well.

[@pynksalmon4472]

Omg I found my Christmas present!!!! Other than aesthetic changes, this would be my first mod to the car, other than installing, do you have to account for any changes to the overall performance? Like will this mess with your Cats or anything like that?

What tow hooks are you using for both front and rear?

Do you think it’s too loud, enough to be pulled over by a cop? Or is it fine

[@KI1NGLUI]

cause I know that some laws are very strict on having no muffler

[@mikeodonnell5476]

In Minnesota it’s fine, but I know plenty other states you probably could get pulled over. But you can keep it pretty quiet by driving casually

The cat still gives i some back pressure and it’s still there plus the pipe is long enough as well it’s actually extended here with the loops. The pipes are pretty skinny too. So it’s not too bad as far as back pressure goes. Plus it’s not a track car so there’s that.

Difference is CVT is for phone social media flipper while driving. With the Crosstrek no it doesn't have power, but it has about as much as many manual driven cars in the 70's to 90's with more tech. Including every old Subaru WRX before they boosted the hell out of them. It has a great shifter and responsive clutch When you are driving up hills you have to "drive" not let the car drive you. So down shifting is required to get the appropriate power. Now mine is modded and on my channel. Don't listen to random Joe's. Always get first hand info before you pass it along...
