DynomaxVT mufflers

[BigPelo]

Well, I tried the Dynomax VT 17962 on my WRX and I am not impressed. The valve starts opening at 2.5k rpm even though it's a 2.0L engine making 0 boost at that rpm and the muffler is supposed to be design for +4.0L of engine displacement. On cold engine/muffler startup it makes clunking sounds. When everything is up to temp, I need to be so easy on the throttle to keep it silent it's not even fun.

The sound at WOT is good though and at US$90 it is a fun experiment.

Where's the thing I should probably have bought, and will probably do:

I tried the 2.5" Vt's on my SHO with PPE Catted down pipes and no 3rd cat or resonator and the car just buzzed under throttle and sounded horrible. I put the stock mufflers back on and I have been happy like that... Hard to describe the hum under load the mufflers made like an forlorn bee or something was not good.

I am leaning heavily towards these mufflers. I have catted dp's as well, but the rest of the system is stock. not removing the 3rd cat or center resonator. I'm thinking the buzzing you had was maybe because you deleted those, and/or went to 2.5". I plan on going with the 2.25"...p/n 17155 I believe. thoughts?

2.25" in and out.
I had also bought dynomax tips (2.50" in, 3"out), but they are too short (6"). I have since ordered longer ones (2.50" in, 4" out, 11" long) that should be here Friday.

You're right, that does seem to be a good setup.
