Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting a new exhaust for my Outback H6.

Not 100% sure, but I think there are about one or two O2 sensors along the pipes; How does an exhaust shop get around that? Would they be able to do a custom exhaust incorporating the existing sensors?

I don't want the car chucking codes at me.

It'll be very droney mate.

Go 2.5" just after the cats. No need to re-located anything then




That's 3" from the catback and manual. 2.5" and it may still drone a bit with the auto.

Miss that outback after watching those

Yeah, they'll just weld in O2 sensor bungs where required to retain all factory sensor locations - no biggie.

Do it! The h6 sounds Porschee with an exhaust!

[Shiv]

Thanks for the advise Cam & Tim.

Cam, do you reckon it'll be okay given I've got a Varex and can shut it up? Or would it still drone?

The Varex makes it sound like a hybrid which is actually pretty good because its not always you want it singing.

I can't wait to get one installed. How much is it setting you back Shiv? So 3" from the catback is all that's needed to get that sound in the second video?

[Cam.]

I don't like varex mufflers. I like the idea of using them at idle to remove attention from your exhaust.

But, Driving with them. I would never do such a thing.

It'll be a nasty drone with light load on the engine.

[Tim.]

^yes - on an NA, no need to do any more than 2.5" cat back. I would be putting a resonator in to get the exhaust sounding deeper and minimising drone too.

[Liberty]

So I'm aiming for 2.5" from the catback, as well as a resonator. Sweet.

I'll stop hijacking the topic and create my own (or possibly use my build thread) when I'm definitely ready to install one. Thanks guys.

[Shiv]

Righto thanks for the advise lads. I'll have a chat with the exhaust shop and see what they can do RE: drone.

I'm just tossing up the idea is all.

I've been quoted $250, Garry. Please feel free to use this thread Garry. No harm getting some ideas going.

[Tim.]

$250 you're kidding.... I paid close to 10 times that!

[Mitch.]

Im guessing its mild steel. My mild steel cat back cost the same amount + cost of the muffler

[Liberty]

That's fairly cheap... Where at may I ask?

[Shiv]

Carline Gladesville. Good mob. Used them before for my Varex muffler. Some of the guys there have Subaru's so they know them well.

$250 was just for a cat back. No muffler included. Maybe I need to double check that with them.

Sorry did I get your name right?

I've seen people call you many names on this forum Not my fault, haha!

[Mitch.]

250 sounds right shiv for just the cat back in 2.5"

It's Garry! with one 'r'. But SOME PEOPLE, not naming names Chamillionaire, have made it auto-change when people type it.

Overall it does sound good. Gotta start putting money aside for one I think.

Sounding good in the rain today , not too drone-y on the highway.
