Forester XT MY09

Subaru Forester XT MY09
2.5ltr Turbo

This is my own car so i had the opportunity to try and dyno test different exhaust parts thanks to Indy form IS Motor Racing at Rockdale.
I have no intention of upgrading the ECU so turbo back exhaust was not an option

Large Free Flowing Centre Muffler

The factory exhaust from the cat back was removed, jigs were so i could remake the centre section in 3" and the rear mufflers in 2 1/2". I used Magnaflow mufflers for our testing because i didn't want to much noise just a tone increase. By making jigs i could interchange parts easily for dyno testing. In the mean time i had the wife telling she wanted the car back to standard after testing.

Subaru Forester XT  Factory Mufflers

First Dyno was done with the complete factory exhaust fitted. i sent the wife to do the dyno testing, i was busy doing other things plus its her car and i hoped she would like the sound and keep the exhaust on after testing. again i was not after a loud exhaust just a tone increase.

Standard Car [Auto] Factory Rear Mufflers 111kw @wheels

Subaru Forester XT  Factory Mufflers

Second dyno was done with the Custom Magnaflow rear mufflers.

Result 118kw @wheels

Now i the big test to see if two days of hard work in making the centre section all in polished 304 stainless steel, all tig welded was worth it.

Subaru Forester  XT  MY09 Dyno

Third Dyno
Cat back 3"
114kw @ wheels.

Dyno was check with the same result. and after trying the differant centre sections on the road it was very noicable differance not only the power but also the drivability. The factory centre section of the exhaust is now refitted with the Magnaflow mufflers on the rear and that's how it is staying, [ the wife loves the sound] Don't waste your money changing from the cat back, either a tbs with ecu upgrade or rear mufflers only.

Rear mufflers only.
