Nameless Axleback Exhaust Thoughts After 30 Days

[@crzeebobby]

I really enjoyed your video as I too have a NA 2006 Subaru Legacy Wagon. One key component you're missing is unequal length headers. Unequal length headers on a non turbo Subaru engine will give you that iconic rumble. There are a few options on eBay and allegedly will fit with NA Imprezas and our Legacys.

[@guypiaquadio]

I appreciate the support!! Do you have the headers? I’m interested… curious on the sound

[@crzeebobby]

I don't 🙁. I've dug through forums but haven't found a concrete answer. If I end up buying/ installing it, I'll let you know.

[@guypiaquadio]

This is actually the answer, I’ve been clicking around and can’t find anything explicitly for this year/model that’s cost effective. I’m wondering if that’s cause of COVID or it’s just getting too old

I appreciate that 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@kingjames80s]

Please turn this into a series of small upgrades and fine tuning. I’m invested. ✌🏽

[@guypiaquadio]

Haha I guess I need to shift to a car channel

[@inkman234]

Its a learning experience where you discover things rarely just easily go together. I think you realized that even if you were successful in removing those bolts, it's a short lived victory as the flange on both sides are toast. Thanks for the video.

[@Mike_44]

This is what an exhaust video impression should be like. I just wish this was an Outback XT instead. Awesome video..

[@Pradaboi89]

Idk if it has been commented but if you want the subie rumble then you need to get unequal length headers. The headers + the exhaust you have and you will fall in love with it.

[@slosubies4845]

One of those "easy one-hour jobs" that ends up taking three days, two new sets of tools, and still taking it to a mechanic. I think we've all been there. On a side note, a buddy of mine had the GT (turbo) version of that wagon and it was awesome.

[@GreenHairedGirlVlogs]

More car content! Great video breh!

[@guypiaquadio]

Thank you!!

I bought a cheap set of extracting set for stripped bolts...WORKS AMAZING!!!...STAYS In my tool box

[@alfarebel8770]

Got mine 2 weeks ago for my 2011 na forester. Loving it so far! Not too obnoxious but just gives it a bark like it says. I have a video of mine give a rev to 6,000rpm and sounds great. Don’t regret it at all. Great review on your mufflers and hope you are still enjoying yours! Subbed!

[@guypiaquadio]

ahh yes, yours sounds great - honestly I need to replace the rest of the exhaust system, it's so rusted from the weather in the northeast the seals just arent tight enough

[@alfarebel8770]

@@guypiaquadio Thanks! I had the same problem too with the rust. I decided to get a Ansa oem mid pipe because I had no flanges and I wanted the exact note that I was hearing from others. I did see that nameless also offers the mid pipe for the gt legacy. It could fit on yours as long as it has the same layout of the pipes as the na and you could get the noise you want from the smaller resonator and the larger diameter of the pipes. But if your wanting it to be oem I would try finding an oem designed one. Also seeing as nameless puts down for the mufflers on the na and gt as the same for the mufflers I could see the mid pipe working on the na

[@guypiaquadio]

What’s funny is that I bought an OEM mid pipe during this mod and as I went to put it on the flange at the cat/resonator connect literally just rusted off so it’s only held in by one bolt and the gasket lol - so I just returned the new one because the flange is on the cat side, so in order for me to do it properly I have to get a cat too and who knows what other problems I’ll run into. I told myself that if it ends up with a hole I’ll swap it out but didn’t feel like putting in another $4-500 at the time

[@alfarebel8770]

@@guypiaquadio ouch.. that sucks. Maybe a stainless steel clamp that is long enough to go between the midpipe and cat could give it more life. Wish you the best on how to work that problem out.

[@jacobmartinez5673]

I’m definitely going to buy these now I was a bit on the fence about them. But now I’m sold. I have a 05 legacy gt wagon and I can’t wait to hear how these sound

[@guypiaquadio]

hell yeah, you'll enjoy them - next thing im looking for is the unequal headers, not sure if they make them for the naturally aspirated version, they might have them for the GTs tho

[@jacobmartinez5673]

@@guypiaquadio they might for the NA’s. But I know that the GTs come with them stock.

[@fiver67jb]

How did you like it? Just bought the same wagon.

[@jacobmartinez5673]

@@fiver67jb they sounds so good. they’re not terribly loud around 2-3k rpm. but they scream in the higher rpm. and there is also no noise in the cabin unless you have your windows rolled down

[@Kacpa2]

Add UEL headers and it will rumble. Combined with nice muffler such as this it will sound really nice.

[@andrewcoombs4610]

Nice video. I took one look at the rusty bolts on my exhaust, can't even get a socket on them, and just gonna get them cut off tomorrow 🙃.

[@guypiaquadio]

Definitely cut them, it’s not worth the pain haha

[@andrewcoombs4610]

@@guypiaquadio haha done, took 20 minutes for the shop. Thanks.

[@chasmoto8217]

Awesome dude. You’d should have let me know. I could have cut them off for you! Car looks mint👍

[@guypiaquadio]

haha that would have saved me about two full days - we'll get it right on the next one!

[@legacyruss9091]

Needs uel header to get the sound. Try infernofab

[@guypiaquadio]

Yess they’re nowhere to be found it seems for this year/model - thank you! Will click around some more

[@Smalltownthrifts]

@@guypiaquadio infernofab, should be able to do a 99-05 Mid pipe+ UEL header too. I will be trying to do that later very soon

[@anthonyparra9553]

I have a nameless axleback exhaust for my 2016 na Legacy, it’s a dual chamber axleback. But I fucking love it, it’s a 2.5 and this special exhaust is so nice, it has that aggression when you rev it of course, but it’s quiet as stock when under 2000 revs. Exactly what I was looking for. I want headers but I can’t find shit for my year. I can’t wait to tune this bitch tho

[@guypiaquadio]

Yeah it’s a great mod, this is my first in 15 years of car ownership - they do make stuff for most models but the Subaru mods are so heavily focused on the WRX it kinda sucks lol I feel your pain

[@chrellwood]

Next time the mad scientist and I will come by to rip apart the block, and replace the onion rings you fried

[@guypiaquadio]

I left the onion rings in the floor pan

[@vdrizzy7568]

Hey l have the same problem with really rusty bolts l been have my axel back waiting for months what should l do to get the bolts off easily a muffler swap and what do l ask a mechanic?

[@guypiaquadio]

just gotta go in and have them cut the bolts (not the exhaust) - if you live anywhere where it snows this is completely normal, places where it doesnt sometimes they have a tough time grasping the concept lol

[@vdrizzy7568]

@@guypiaquadio yes very normal l live in Pennsylvania but thank you a lot l appreciate it 👍

[@cherobinson6371]

It looks better sounds noticeably better and with all that Rust? U would have been replacing them soon anyway. Exhaust leaks can come through the Trunk/ Floor and Zzzz your life permanently. Good move no matter how it sounds but sounds better so that’s a Bonus!

[@danielabseen2612]

If you want the rumble you need uel headers. You won't get rumble just from. Catback, u need UEL headers.

[@guypiaquadio]

The toughest part is finding those 😂😂

[@silverbulletsportfishing5465]

2 words: Cutoff wheel 25$ at harbor freight and 15 minutes of your time.

[@hairnbeard]

Cut it off with a reciprocating saw.. on the pipe not the bolt. Your throwing it out anyway
