Buy something made for Holden/Ford V8's... Mine is now well over 6 years old and still going strong...

Heh sounds odd, thing is 4th gens have a dual setup so dont think that would be an easy fit

Same set up as what many other manufacturers have

Most muffler shops can do something for you, and the advantage of the Aussie made ones are that they are "universal" and will ensure that the noise level is below the WOF threshold.

I have seen this done a few times to BH/BE, BM/BR, BP's etc ove in Aus as the mufflers come in a range of sizes just talk to your local muffler shop for ideas...

Yeah I was thinking of going down to pitstop, although I'm sure they'd tryn push their brands in.

Thing with mufflers is, I kinda need to hear what its like before fitting it in, guess I'd have to take their word for it..

A pair of STi Genomes is always a safe option on a BP Wagon. Quite around town changing to a deep note at WOT.

IMO they sound like fart cannons :D

No offense to anyone that likes them, just prefrence.

I'm after a nice deep rumble though, no rasp or fart

I agree; I really don't like the way they sound on bp/bl Legacies :(

Not gonna happen on an 03 leggie TBH.

Its always gonna sound like a 4 banger due to the equal length headers.

The American ones rumble as they have the 2.5 with UEL headers.

I had a Fujitsubo rear muffer on my '01 Blitzen. Nice rumble at idle, nice tone while driving, but still very quite.

(wasnt fart cannon type)

Picked it up for a box of Waikato at a Wreakers.

Zerosports and Kakimoto Regu 06 (I had this full exhaust on my V9 STi) are other good, quite systems from my own experiences

Anyone know a good brand of mufflers to suit 03+ Legacy BP?

I've seen vids on LGT forums but its all US brands - magnaflow, perrin etc.

I'm after something with a nice bassy rumble, not too loud and nothing raspy ;D

Do us a favour and start importing some of the proper size BP GT rotors.

Most suppliers here only have the crappy 294mm whereas the beast models came with 315-316mm rotors.

You could always look at carrying stock of Hawk HPS pads for these cars as well?

I'm not too sure about this, I think the USDM have ELH too and that 4th gens stopped UELH model wide?

Either way I know im not gonna get the same rumble sound on my 4th gen but would still like an aftermarket deep/bassy tone and not a raspy fart one.

Gonna seriously consider getting one from US if there arent any suppliers or good brands locally.

as far as I know the US only had the 2.5T motor with UELH, hence they rumble.

Only get from the US if its cheaper.

um hard to explain but i like its not very loud in the car at all at idle sounds loud but once its got revs and engine noise(belts turbos ect) it aint actually that loud its a real deep sound have had a few comments already that it sounds good (including the 40 something year old woman i carpool with for work) only been on a week and thats without the silencer

Yeah that is a sweet system.

I've already got a frontpipe in though and only after mufflers.

Right now I'm tossing up between getting some Borlas $350 each, or some Ebay ones around $100 each.

Thing with the Ebay ones is that they'd be a gamble in terms of sound, they all do say deep smooth sound.

Might just be the guinea pig here ;D

I think you get what you pay for mate, may sound OK but there will be a trade off somewhere and its likely to be in the quality of the stainless and baffles etc. They won't sound good or last for long. I have found Remus to make a really nice tone used on Porsche flat 6's etc, and their basic mufflers weren't too bad prices when I bought one for my old Honda a while back

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
