*DISCLAIMER* - I've only just got my first car (07 Impreza Wagon) and I know literally nothing other than what i've read in a few forums since getting my car a few weeks ago. 

Hi Everyone,

Im trying to find an exhaust system for my car, an 07 2.0L non turbo Impreza wagon, to work together with some UEL headers for a sick rumble. Doesn't really bother me that its not a lightning bolt, but that doesn't mean it cant look, sound and handle like a boss (Mountain roads > drag strip). My question is, how big is too big for an exhaust (I'm thinking cat back but wouldn't mind some advice there either)? I've read that a 3 inch system will result in a loss of back pressure and 'drone' on a highway, but it is by far the easiest size to find. With that in mind, is it really a big problem to but it on? If yes, what is a more appropriate size and where would I find some? 

Thanks in advance for any help,
Cheers

2 1/4" for an NA.

That seems to be the consensus from everywhere i'ver read... Any particular brands / models that stand out over the rest? Or just take it into the exhaust shop and see what they can do?

Just head to your nearest exhaust shop and get them to make something up to suit. If you like a nice subtle burble than have them fit a decent straight through muffler with a resonator or two, if you like your ears bleeding than have them fit the cheapest cannon you can get.

As easy as that! Thanks!

That is a question I've been asking myself as well. Cheers for posting. Post back when you get a price or sort it out. Im curious to see the result.
