nah it doesnt sound like a fart can at all, im using a pretty shitty recorder so its probably the reason but it sounds really sweet, its not loud or over obnoxious at all. its deep, but not loud enough to give u a headache while driving

i know this is totally off topic but how hard was it to install the front and rear ss/sc facia? and that exhaust sounds awesome btw... i would still like to hear the borla exhaust i think that they have one out...?

i actually only have the front lip on my 2.4, but it was installed professionally by a trusted auto body shop. someone backed into me and i was able to replace the entire front SS/NA facia with the SS/SC. they're infact not the same facia. the SS/SC has tabs specificly made to hold the lip which the SS/NA lack and i doubt that u could really find a way to put the lip on otherwise. and yea im certain borla makes an exhaust for our car

i see. i was wondering because i went to my dealership today and that exactly what they said i would have to do (i was hoping differently though) so i have now decided to go with the avs lip kit.

subarus sound the way they do because of the boxer engine. the exhaust wraps around the one side and AFAIK it creates a weird colapsing effect when the two sides collect. i don't know why, but i think it's the same reason that no really powerful subaru ever idles nice.

I just put a magnaflow universal on my 2.4 and it sounds really good. Not too loud and a deep mellow sound. I would definatly recommend it.

I love the sound of the 2.4, they sound waaaaay better than the exhaust of the 2.0.
well Minus the supercharger whine of course just the exhaust.

That's actually a really good sound clip. The exhaust sounds pretty close to that. Much better than the sound clips on Magnaflow's website.
