Default LHT Exhaust Review - 06 STi

John at LHT did an exhaust for me this week.

I requested 3" pipe all the way through with a resonator and a can. I also requested a 4" tip cut with a slight angle.

In conclusion, the work was as close to perfection an I have seen in an exhaust. The price was very fair as well.

On the road, my highway drone is gone. I can hear the wind blowing around the side mirrors, the woosh of the turbo, and the road noise again... . The sound is pure Subaru and it sounds great at any RPM.

This system is as quiet and free flowing as they come and the workmanship is excellent. LHT was very nice to work with and went out or their way to get me just what i was after in form and function.

It even looks great in my opinion .

John will have pics up here shortly. If you have a Subaru, go see him. This pipe is the bomb!

Steve

Good job. I always like to hear a great review.

I've been wanting to call LHT to see if they could merge my external wastegate dumptube back into the downpipe.
