The amount of fuel in the tank does not have any impact on the odor. The best way to avoid this is to use our urethane exhaust bushings to hold the exhaust in place. They really added the sound I was looking for. I love this easy mod, highly recommend if you want to hear your car! Great sound and build quality Posted by Trav on Mar 26, 2018 Purchased the axle-backs with 5'' muffler. To correct this failure the turbo was replaced by an independent mechanic under an extended warranty.
Only got around to getting them on now. May take a bit of time to arrive due to them being built to order, but it's definitely worth the wait. Recommended for those who are hard core autocrossers or circuit racers. The consequence of these failures has been loss of power on the highway which could have caused a wreck but luckily did not. Can't recommend this product enough.
They sound great with the rest of my setup and the build quality is top-notch. Showing reviews 1-8 of 38. The vehicle was taken to a local dealership where the problem could not be duplicated. The mufflers cancel more of the highs and midrange tones leaving a deep tone that is quieter than most catback exhausts on the market at cruise and idle, but still has a nice bark at wide open throttle. I paid to have it replaced but I have not yet picked up the vehicle since I cannot trust it not to break nor will Subaru warranty the part if the screen becomes blocked again, this sludge could be caused by the initial turbo failure, since the broken turbos throw metal through the oil system.
I replaced the part that I thought was causing problems with the engine and turned the car on and black smoke came out off the exhaust. The turbo and engine were all factory original. Posted by Joshua Whipp on May 13, 2017 This exhaust is simply spectacular. The odor disappears after driving a hundred yards or more. The Q300 series achieves high levels of performance efficiency with Advantex, it is an exhaust internal material, which allows the muffler to reduce the sound well under 93db.
I almost didn't want to install them because of how nice they looked. On its own, the muffler delete with a stock midpipe and downpipe is similar to most catback exhausts in terms of sound level. The leak was repaired, but the odor of gasoline continued. I did oil changes every 3000 miles and did the recommended services at each time or mileage intervals. I think it is unclear that these engines have a major flaw in them. This exhaust fits both the sedan and wagon.
Great throaty sound, much louder than stock. When this happens there is a chance your bumper can be damaged. Recommend for those who either drive hard on the street or race occasionally at the track. Can't get over the amazing sound they produce. Not obnoxiously loud but not too quiet either. Perfect for those looking for a subtle upgrade.
Most people have these problems way before the 100,000 miles on the odometer mark. This rate is on average 3 times higher than other turbo vehicles produced by Subaru at the time. The tip diameter is 60mm to give a subtle and elegant appearance without compromising a stock-like look. If this is residue it should have burned off by now, since the car was placed in service August 2004. Leading up to each failure the vehicle was being driven consistently at ~60 mph for 15 to 20 miles.

This exhaust fits both the sedan and wagon. . I would need a completely new engine for the vehicle. Recommended for people who race their cars often. Removing the two factory 13.
When accelerating hard on the highway, cabin fills with acrid sulpher smell. Subaru replaced that turbo but it failed again after 2 weeks. The piping is increased to 60-76mm respectively to increase exhaust flow for more power and a more pronounced exhaust note. Plus when you downshift and hit 3-4k it pops and bangs everything and it's freaking amazing. The vehicle continued to smell of gasoline and the vehicle was taken back to the service dealer where it was discovered fluid was leaking from the steering area.
