This is awesome. I bought a 2017 Impreza (base model) with a five speed last year, and been searching for a good option to get some nice sound out of the boxer engine. 100% sells me on nameless .... so thanks for this video.
Finally got mylself one, got it lightly used for $150. Looks clean and in great condition. Will install it this weekend. Super excited. Thanks for the video, looks like super easy install.
Bowdown Dubsup If its in good condition then definitely worth the drive. I get compliments on mine all the time, many from WRX drivers. They think it sounds just as good as theirs and for the price it’s definitely worth it.
Sounds great I just bought one of these nameless 5” axle backs for my 2017 Impreza sport should have it in a couple of days, would love to hear the road test though !
Hey! First of all I will like to thank you for your help in the car community. I also know this is a significantly older video but I have a question. In your opinion, how loud is the 5” nameless exhaust from the stock exhaust on a scale of 1-10. And if you have any knowledge of the muffler delete, how loud would it be from a scale of 1-10? Thanks!
No problem. Compared to stock the 5 inch muffler is a 6. I'd say the stock is a 1, no sound unless a cold start. 10 being the loudest. The muffler delete is a 9 to 10 and is loud. We bought one for giggles, wow it was obnoxious, lol....not for me. I did t even video it because it was so loud in and out of the cabin One of the pluses on the 5 inch, is it gives just enough resonation to keep a great sound, deep and not be overbearing. Hope this helps
With the 5 inch muffler it's really just about right. When it's cold it's louder, but it's not obnoxious and it sounds really good. That being said. The most quiet is the borla, but you'll pay double.
No special tools like a torque wrench, just go tight and the maybe an eighth of a turn more. You can use two 14 mm boxend wrenches or ratchet or combo of the two. I re use my bolts from Subaru and nameless will send you a gasket and new bolts. I had to use the gasket on one of my 19 imprezas, but on the 17, one 19 and the 21 we just got, didn't use it and no leaks at all. We had to wait about a month for the 21 wagon exhaust but well worth it. I Have a video on that one too. Drive safe and post your thoughts on the nameless when you get it installed.
Where the muffler and flange bolt up, were they both perfectly flush or did the exhaust have a bit of a lip compared to the perfectly flat flange on the nameless?
The tubing struck out a smidge but the gasket once put on made it flush, the two flanges then but up......I just bought another sport, the same exhaust and it installed identical. Now we have two cars with nameless and they are great
@@automotiveinquiries9673 my wife loves hers that we installed on 18 sport. I hate it, I think the tone might be too low for me and literally hurts my ears. Gonna drive with ear plugs from now on.... If you think I am kidding you would be wrong. 100% serious. Got a older Tiburon with exhaust and possibly exhaust leak and those don't bother my ears.
I know that the nameless axle back Comes in two different sizes 5 inch and 3 inch what is your better suggestion on a 2020 Subaru Impreza sedan is there a difference in sound
as far as I know nameless offers a 5 inch and a straight pipe no muffler. I'd do the 5, that is loud enough and has a great sounds. No muffler or a smaller one, may be a little loud when cruising down the hwy. It's just a personal preference. Let me know what you decide.
I heard some people say you should buy an extra gasket because of leaks. What do you think? I really want one for my 2017 Subaru Impreza Sport I just got
I haven't had any issues with leaks, but they provide a large gaskets that would be more than enough. I actually havent used a gasket on one of my 19s and the 21 I didn't use one.
Yeah, they have a no muffler at nameless and its loud, it's a straightpipe....way way loud and the sound isn't as throaty. But technically you could just remove it and add any pipe. If you do that at least try and find t304 stainless so it doesnt rust out. But if your wanting a deep sound, that is moderate on the loud, I'd do at least a 5 inch muffler....the nameless is one of the cheapest out there for it. We have two of there systems and 4 years in, they are like new and no rust. Hope this helps
@@rafaellozano563 so with the nameless exhaust with the 5-inch Muffler it will delete everything from the axle back from stock so it has a nice small 5in resonator muffler and a larger tip if you just do the straight pipe he'll be a larger diameter pipe in your stock one and it will delete the entire Muffler
@@rafaellozano563 you know that's a great question I don't believe there is one on the Impreza but there is one on the WRX and STI I'll have to look later and see
Its the Nameless axle back exhaust with 5 inch muffler. They make a quad exhaust for the wagon, or a standard one like we have. The sedan they make a non muffler or a 5 inch muffler. You can find these at Nameless performance .com
@@richienickson8085 it won't affect the emissions, fuel economy didn't get better or worse, felt like a little more power, but the sound is fun and not obnoxious. I like it on there.
Unfortunately this exact one will not fit.....16 old style will need a different part number. Nameless makes one, so does borla....our 14 Impreza has borla.
A stock gasket will work...they will send you one free of charge, from nameless...if not the 19s are gasketless....but the gaskets are the same as the 17...so if it gets damaged, you can get one on the internet for about 1.50....or at suby they are about 10......but the exhaust should come with one....hope that helps...you can just get a 17 gasket and use on the 19+
Currently you can get the nameless exhaust from nameless. Com there are a few other sites that carry their exhaust but their sites aren't any cheaper than going through nameless directly. As for the turbo and blow off valve that would be a 100% custom job as there's only a few companies in Australia that are currently working on turbo kits for this model. We currently own two of the sports in my family my son's is a 17 mine is a 19. I would love to own a WRX however they're still on the old platform. That being said to do a turbo for this motor New York's need to go in and upgrade the Rings and the gaskets along with putting an intercooler in there if you find one let me know the ones I've seen older Impreza range between 3 and $4,000 for that you might as well wait for the new version of the WRX and just get a base that way Subaru warranties everything in the motors beefed-up
loosExpression , that is the stock bumper for the sport. In the past subaru has put the exhaust cutout on different sides per model. The sport has the cutout on the passenger side. If your cutout is on the other side, check with namless support as the hanger setup would be opposite and would not work. I believe all sports, and premiums are passenger side cutout, base maybe different.
Yep, you can, this is axle back and does not change any of your emissions. This would be the same for a sedan or wagon. I actually have a sedan nameless that came off my impreza, like new condition, I'd sell for 150. I bought a stinger a while back, so dealer did not get my nameless. But our 17 passes emissions with it, no problems.hope this helps
@@kyleoliva5340 yep...its been on my shelf for about a year. If you live in Colorado, Denver we can meet up. If not, I can ship it for about 20 bucks....cheaper than new....and it's like new. Fits 17 to 21 sedan models. I can accept PayPal or I have square and can hard enter credit cards. Just let me know
Namelessperformance.com nameless website has the best prices. There you can pick through your model, whether sedan or wagon. For sedan its called axle back exhaust 2017+ Impreza sedan 2.0 sedan. You need to go into the wagon, crosteck section of you dont have a sedan. Side note we've had two of these exhaust one on my son's car 3 years. And mine 1 year, no rust, excellent quality and great sound. Happy motoring
I know this video's a bit old but would you say this is a loud exhaust? I mean like... annoying the neighbors loud. Not like I drive like a bat out of hell in town, and most of my driving is on back roads or the highway. I just want my car to sound better without getting me noise complaints when I return from work at 10:45 pm.
If your looking for good, non annoying sound this would be the one to get. They make a straightpipe no muffler, which is very loud. Borla may make one now for this platform as they did my 14 Impreza, but the price is double. I think youd be happy with the nameless muffler for sound and non intrusive non neighbor bothering. It will improve your overall sound substantially.
I did mine a while back, the difference is night and day. Ive seen the delete and it sounds good but the 5" gives it a deeper rumble. Here's mine th-cam.com/video/iXz0EaCwb5Y/w-d-xo.html

Just posted new video
Thanks for sharing! I have a 2019 impreza sport. Need this!
Did you buy one?
I'm out of state right now, but I will get an interior dB of it with and without. I'll post it after the 3rd, I get back in on the 2nd.
Is it the same with the 2018?

AutoMotive Inquiries Yes! You were a big help. Thank you so much!
How loud is this exhaust. I’m looking for one that’s not very loud at all and I can’t tell on video how loud it actually is
With the 5 inch muffler it's really just about right. When it's cold it's louder, but it's not obnoxious and it sounds really good. That being said. The most quiet is the borla, but you'll pay double.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 ok thanks. I just ordered this one a few hours ago!
Sweet video dude. Waiting for my nameless in the mail. Am i going to need an actual torque wrench for the install? Did you have any leak issues?

Alright thanks🤘 I'm definitely getting one. If I have any issues I'll just put the stock back on until I get another one.
@@ZachKateAda sounds good, I honestly believe you'll have zero issues and really enjoy it.....drive safe out there.
Hey, so what would be the difference from just adding a piece of pipe instead of that system. Would the simple pipe make it sound louder or?
Yeah, they have a no muffler at nameless and its loud, it's a straightpipe....way way loud and the sound isn't as throaty. But technically you could just remove it and add any pipe.

AutoMotive Inquiries did you only delete the muffler or did you also delete the resonator as well?
@@rafaellozano563 so with the nameless exhaust with the 5-inch Muffler it will delete everything from the axle back from stock so it has a nice small 5in resonator muffler and a larger tip if you just do the straight pipe he'll be a larger diameter pipe in your stock one and it will delete the entire Muffler
AutoMotive Inquiries ahh ok, but besides the muffler farther back in the car around the middle of the car is there a big resonator ?
@@rafaellozano563 you know that's a great question I don't believe there is one on the Impreza but there is one on the WRX and STI I'll have to look later and see
Hey do you recall if the stock exhaust was much heavier than the Nameless one? Thanks!
What is the name of that exhaust bro?
Its the Nameless axle back exhaust with 5 inch muffler. They make a quad exhaust for the wagon, or a standard one like we have. The sedan they make a non muffler or a 5 inch muffler. You can find these at Nameless performance .com
Thank you man. Does it matter when you change the exhaust?
@@richienickson8085 it won't affect the emissions, fuel economy didn't get better or worse, felt like a little more power, but the sound is fun and not obnoxious. I like it on there.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 nice and it does look like an easy job.
@@richienickson8085 absolutely, a can of silicone spray, a 14 mm wrench and socket and about 30 minutes of time and done
The stock exhaust is heavier than the nameless, I'd say between 10 to 15 lbs heaviers
where you buy that exhaust?
Namelessperformance.com
Would this fit a 2016 impreza?
Unfortunately this exact one will not fit.....16 old style will need a different part number. Nameless makes one, so does borla....our 14 Impreza has borla.
Do you know the size of that gasket and flange?
A stock gasket will work...they will send you one free of charge, from nameless...if not the 19s are gasketless....but the gaskets are the same as the 17...so if it gets damaged, you can get one on the internet for about 1.50....or at suby they are about 10......but the exhaust should come with one....hope that helps...you can just get a 17 gasket and use on the 19+

@@automotiveinquiries9673 alright thanks man. My goal is to make the car a V6 killer.
Did you have to get a custom bumper
