Cause the bottom of my Subaru's Bumper is ~15" from the ground. It did not fit vertically, as the factory muffler is tucked up into the quarterpanel/rear bumper. It did not look right with the muffler horizontal as it placed the exhaust ~8" off the ground. So now its ~3-4" below the bumper. Also I would have need an exhaust hanger that was 10" long as the factory hanger is up there above the bottom of the bumper. lol I actually wanted to run it vertically, but without access to a pipe bender, I couldn't get the position using off the shelf tubing.
Total Cost of the exhaust:
6 clamps............$14
Glass Pack.........$20
Muffler..............$38
Pipe..................$7
Adaptor.............$4
New Gasket........$16 (god damn Subaru's...)
Muffler putty.......$5 (to seal the stupid gasket anyway)
"Chrome" Tip.......$8
Misc. Hardware....$5
---------------------
Total.................$117
I had to change the exhaust do to the after market sway bar. It was $35 to ship, and it would have cost $35 to ship back to get a refund. So I would have been out $70 just to put the old sway bar back on. Had I know getting the after market sway bar was going to cost almost $300, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. But now I have less body roll, better traction, and a louder exhaust. lol
