I ended up picking up a couple of these on Sunday.

The weather here has been rubish so I haven't had a chance to start on it yet. Hopefully I will give it a go next Saturday.

So you didn't use the tweeters or crossovers at all?

I'd say bad move, but it's your car.

Next time I see you at a meet you can listen to how well my stereo goes without sound deadening etc lol

[Cam.]

Used factory crossovers. Mids and tweeters are aftermarket

[Harry88]

Yep what cam said.

FACTORY?!?!?!

Mine's a Luxury R model, why the didn't I have factory crossovers? lol

Apparently so. Having said that the door cars have a space for tweeters but no tweeters are in the front doors.

[Harry88]

I finally got around to doing the sound deadening on the doors. Most of the rattle were from the door cards themselves so I used some of the foam on the back side of the door cards. Also done the same sort of thing to the rear speakers as well.

Haven't updated this thread in a while.

Finally gonna get the STI muffler fitted tomorrow that I got of aek ages ago. Shined it up with some mothers metal shine and its looking good. Not expecting a change in exhaust sound but it should like 10 times better than the factory muffler. Shall post before and after pics tomorrow.

Yep. Better sound over stock and looks good as well. Glad I done it.

[Cam.]

Looks saweet, Bro.

I didn't think it would make noise. But it does! Double win.

[aekOne]

Never really given it a thought to be honest. Don't plan on doing any more exhaust work at the moment.

After seeing your lip spoiler I plan on getting a new one. The EzLip is awesome and all but I really liked the look of that lip on your car.

[Daihiro]

wow, i literally read all 5 pages of this build, keen to see it done!
Tastefully modified! (Y)

Sorry about the massive delay dude, but you should consider it, i got my catback insyalled and it sounds like a true Subaru! I'll post a video when i can.
Yeah the lip added so much aggression but unfortunately mine has cracked and nearly in two peices. Have to fix it up but i'm too lazy haha.
Didn't you like the stock speakers? I reckon their pretty good for stock, having good bass and all. I put it an amp with sub, so bass is all covered!

[Harry88]

I would like to see that video when you get it posted.

The stock speakers were pretty ordinary. Just distorted at medium to high volumes. I'm getting over the speakers I got installed a few months ago. The sound deadening didn't do that much for the door vibration problem so I will try and see what I can do to fix it. Considering putting a sub/amplifier in and considering changing the door speakers as well.

Just read through this whole thread haha. Car looks great, i'm probably going to do the same in terms of sound, I'd like to replace my speakers with a set of good ones and no sub as i don't really find it necessary. I like that muffler compared to the stock rs one which looks terrible haha. I have 25% window tint on my car and it makes it look quite nice, i reckon it would go well with yours. Its rather hard to see through at night though lol.
