BH or GD/GG Muffler fitment to a BE

[l2eeFer13]

So im after a Sti Genome muffler on yahoo auctions and have been keeping an eye out for the last couple weeks for a BE muffler to pop up but sadly nothing

Their are plenty of BH mufflers that i know fit straight in but im aware that the muffler tip is a few inches longer than the sedan version. Looking at the GD/GG muffler the tip looks about the same length as the BE muffler. So basically what im getting at is what sort of mods would i have to do to fit the GD/GG muffler to the BE

Im guessing just re weld the mounts as the piping and muffler itself looks the same

With the expense of shipping then modifying one from yahoo, you might be better off grabbing this:

Or just get something else, imho Genomes are not the best ones around (sound/build quiality wise). Had one on my BH5 wagon and happily sold after a week, never regretted.

Yeah i did see that on subaruspeed but he wants $75 ($370 total) for shipping. I was quoted around the $200 mark shipped from Japan which was pretty cheap i thought.

I have had others in mind like Fujitsubo and Blitz Nuro Spec etc but my minds pretty well set for the Genome. I actually have a cheapo sitting at home i picked up for $100 off trademe but never got around to fitting it. Maybe i should just go through the effort of getting it welded on....

Almost half the price. I also had a BH Genome and sold it, went with an apexi world sport 2 instead.

OEM left/Genome centre/Apexi world sport 2 right. You can see near the front flange on the genome is almost a restrictor that narrows to almost 2 inch:

I had a Fujutsubo Legalis Super R, awesome quality and very nice sound, had it coupled with a 3" FGK midpipe .

Just wish I could find some for the BLE (will have to live with HKS Premiums for now )

Is that looking down into the pipe Rosssub? How do you rate your Apexi? What sort of difference in note does it sound like compared to the Genome?

Ive been told buy a lot of guys from the Subyclub forum in Aus that the fuji muffler had a nice sound. How loud would you rate it over the genome? Im more after loud. Not stupid loud though like a hole in the exhaust etc

Yip, can just see it in the pic. Pipe tapering in near the flange. The genome was louder than the apexi, genome had more of a raspy growl to it.

Fujitsubo produced very nice sound, not very loud though if that's what you're after (I wasn't). If you want something loud than look for Ganador or Kakimoto, that HKS on subaruspeed will be pretty loud too I reckon.
