Installation is pretty simple & straightforward; getting the exhaust hangers off and back on is by far the most difficult part. Probably took me 30 minutes in total, largely due to those hangers.
There's only so much you can tell from the videos, but trust me when I say you can hear the exhaust quite well while driving, especially anytime your RPMs get above 1800. I can't imagine what the muffler delete version sounds like! Bzzzzzzz

Sounds great! After you’ve had it for a while now, do you still like it? Has it had any noticeable affects on you MPG, or any other performance metrics? Thanks!

@@phgunr Hi Paul, thanks for the feedback & question. I'll be honest - I like it most of the time, but sometimes I *do* miss the quiet ride, particularly if I have anyone else in the car with me (like my kids). I haven't noticed any impact on my MPG or performance, but 2020 has been a weird year and I only drive ~50 miles per week, so it's hard to get a representative sample. I'll do some measurements and report back!

Awesome video. My daughter just bought a '17 Outback for herself and actually asked me to make it sound like my Impreza that has a Borla muffler. I showed her this video and she said it's exactly what she was hoping for. Got me a weekend project coming up I guess. Thanks for making this video. 🙂

Right on, Joseph. It seriously couldn't be easier to replace, with one KEY note: Buy the exhaust hanger bushing removal tool. It's only $25 and I PROMISE you'll be thankful you did. shop.namelessperformance.com/exhaust-hanger-removal-tool/ Those bushings are surprisingly difficult to remove and the tool makes it 300% easier.

Thanks for this, been debating this on our 2010 outback.. like you I have a wife and kids, so the noise is a concern. We just did a 2” lp aventure lift on ours and it’s made the factory exhaust much more visible and we aren’t fans. I think I’ll be picking this up. 👍

@becker22surfer 3 жыл бұрын
@@helloandymoore We went with LP because we had seen a few lp lifted Subaru’s in person and they looked great, their lift also works with the stock springs and shocks & they had free shipping when we ordered 😁. I ended up having to replace the rear shocks once we got them out as they were blown. My only regret is not replacing the stock springs with a stiffer spring when I had it all apart.. we just went camping this weekend and the rear end has A LOT of sag under load. I’m going to be ordering some king springs from primitive racing to try and eliminate that sag. Other than that I don’t have any complaints with the Lp set up 🤙

Use the longest socket wrench you can - I stepped up to a 1/2" drive that has a 12" handle, and that made it a LOT easier. Gotta really torque on it, maybe whack the handle end with a rubber mallet.

My understanding is no - it’s a simple bolt-on modification that doesn’t affect any sensors or the drivetrain in any way. Just to err on the side of caution, you might ping the folks at Nameless Performance - they’re great at answering stuff like that.

EXTREMELY easy. Literally like 2 bolts. The real key, though, is to buy the exhaust hanger removal tool - pulling those loos without it is possible but very difficult and you’ll def bloody up your knuckles. The tool makes it much, much easier and is, in my opinion, worth the $30ish.
