2.5RS (2004) vs WRX (2004) EXHAUST ONLY
What are differences in exhaust from the wrx, to the rs. Is there any difference in sound? If a 2.5RS has the same aftermarket 3" exhaust as a WRX will it sound louder becuase it does not have a turbo, and has a larger engine?

First of all, 3" exhaust on a N/A car is not recommended. 2.25" is fine. The sound loudness and quality is different by manufacturer moreso than just the engine (N/A or turbo) I think that generally speaking, WRX and 2.5RS/TS/OBS cat backs are real close in dimensions. Correct me if I'm misspoken. Anyway, maybe other people can chime in about the 3" exhaust on a N/A engine. Brian

Ya I heard 3" is bad too, but I guess im just looking for that sweet *** suby sound that you get out of a wrx with a turbo back.

Simple. Get the Apexi N1 catback. It has 2.5" piping and sounds like all the other exhausts out there for the wrx.

to further the question....
Sorry to sound ignorant as I just purchased my first subie a week ago, but is the 02+ wrx exhaust a direct bolt on to the 03+ 2.5 rs sedan? I figure the hangers should work with wrx rubber, but does the cat match up to the midpipe without leaks? to be more specific, I have an 04 rs, and am looking to purchase the wrx N1 exhaust. thanks in advance.
