- 2019 crosstrek nameless muffler delete installation and exhaust sound. Some clips of the exhaust sound from inside, outside, idle, reving, hard acceleration.
I’m very happy with how this turned out! The product is great, installation was fairly easy, and the sound is good.

Just put the 5" muffler version on mine, some tips for people watching:
Spray Silicone Lube
Channel locks
That's how you pop exhaust hangers off in 5 seconds, prop one end of the claw against the metal nub and the other end against the hanger and pry it off.
When taking the OEM exhaust off, start on the tip side first, and pop the exhaust hanger closest to you off on the inlet side then pull down
The top bolt sucks for sure and the alignment of the flange is a few MM off for me at the gasket, but I'm going to go back and brute force it down and should be fine.
big brain. thanks man.
Hey, I'm from Red Wing, MN. I have the orange one. With our transmission, I was expecting a terrible sound, but no. A pleasant low-tenor to high baritone voicing to it. Good stuff, guy!
Man oh Man...You're a lifesaver! I am an 75 years young and I used soap to take it out and super easy and fast...Thank you so much!
Sounds really nice! The benefits of having a muffler delete over a resonator delete is that you don't get the drone at low RPMs, because the resonator is still doing its job.
Thank you for making and posting this video
I really enjoyed and appreciated it
I bought this exhaust and installed it for my 2019 Impreza hatchback sport model. The sound is perfect for me, their is a slight drone in the cabin but it’s not crazy or anything, really manageable. If you have kids or a pesky wife, get the 5’ muffler instead. Just like he said, the car naturally idles between 1200-2000 when casually driving and when not actively accelerating. Sounds better in person. Keep the stock muffler in case you want to revert back to stock sound. All in all, it took me about 20 minutes to install and well worth it.
I did this to my base model 2018 5mt hatch and I get tons of pops it’s insanely fun to rev because of those pops xD. I love it but my dad has it on his as cvt cross trek and it sounds more like a Polaris razed imo
Are you able to get a drive by video for your Impreza hatch? I plan to get a Impreza hatch next year :p
Great video! I will likely add this install, when I purchase a Crosstrek.
Just got the same exhaust for my 2018 impreza hatchback, very niceinformative video! Thanks guy
Thank you! Hope you like the exhaust!
WD-40 on the exhaust hangers works like a charm!
Adam Chandler just use soapy water in a spray bottle, that way it doesn’t deteriorate the rubber hangers.
foshow
Absolutely, been doing that for years. Works a trick
Soapy water is always around the house, cheap and won't destroy rubber
Thank you man having a hard time to take it out the stock exhaust glad i watched this the dawn soap help me a lot i just put mine
Awesome video. Car sounds great.
I’ve never put an exhaust on any of my vehicles and I can’t decide on the 5” muffler or the muffler delete but this sounds so good!
Exhaust hanger pliers make easy almost effortless work. If you ever do this again in the future.
Removing exhaust hangers. Helpful tip is using windex or spray glass cleaner. Lubricates and dries quickly!
Sounds good!
Coulda just used oil from your dip stick or any kind of grease laying around the garage.
I tried putting on the gasket that came with it but it was leaking continuously. Maybe it was not tight enough. So I tried using the factory gasket itself and the leaking stops. I don’t know if I’m doing the correct way
Ayyyyy Minnesota my boi
SOLD! good post!
i just put in my order i cant wait to install it
Nice!
Just got mine today! For my 18 forester MT
It took 3 months for mine to come in. They’re a small business FYI they take time to process it
They definitely are a small business and I think they do things in batches, so yes it could potentially take some time.
@@mikeodonnell5476 i was expecting it to take a few weeks but just got a tracking and it should arrive Sun or Mon
If you set the cruise control, you don't get the fake shifting when you romp on it.
Nice trek man
I love XV Crosstek Subaru 😎😎👍
Great video
This sounds great I’m looking to get the same one for my Impreza
I’d recommend getting the resonated version, this one does drone a good bit. Also since this video they came out with a really cool new version with quad tips(I currently have that on my car)
@@mikeodonnell5476 I am looking to do the same but sadly the quad tips are only for the crosstrek lol :(
@@despa333 should fit the Impreza too I think
@@mikeodonnell5476 hmm on the website it says "*While this system does NOT fit the 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza Wagon, we are working on a design which will be available soon" so idk. They have a quad tip for 2017+ impreza but I have a 2016 sadly. Yours looks really good tho!
@@despa333 oh! Yeah it’s should fit the new imperzas though. I’m pretty sure they’ll have one out soon.
Great vid, question: How did you align the tow hook? was just chance or did you have to do something to it? Mine when tight is completely horizontal and can't mount my red hook properly. Thanks
I took washers and ground them down to the right outside diameter and used them as spacers till I could get the ring to point to the 4 or 5 o’clock position, then cranked it tight till it was straight. You could probably also get the same effect using some steel tubing to create a sleeve, and test the length till you have it straight and the depth is good.
What performance and mileage differences have you noticed with the new exhaust?
Performance > Sound.... wonder if the loss of back pressure has actually hurt overal performance. Any insights?
Thanks so much, man! Currently own a 2019 WRX whose sound and performance I love but I am missing the space and flexibility of my old hatchback. Thinking about bolting a Nameless onto a 2020 Crosstrek is REALLY appealing. Any regrets about your Crosstrek besides the often complained about lack of power? When I test drove one it was just a hoot and handled really well for what it is. Best to you!
I love mine! I would like more power, and I’m tempted to trade up for the 2021 that’ll have more power. I have no regrets! It’s a fantastic car.
@@mikeodonnell5476 Thanks man. Great videos, by the way. I appreciate your keeping it real approach. No ego, just straight up car talk. Keep up the good work. I'd be tempted to for the 2021 2.5 sport if it came in a manual transmission but it looks like it might CVT only. Again, thanks for your reply!
Kirk Niese yeah I’ve heard cvt only, and while I like a manual trans, the cvt is great on gas and off road.
@@mikeodonnell5476 Very true on both counts. Thanks again!
Did you gain any benefit beside just making it sound good. ? Like the reflector sticker.
No gain as far as I can tell, just sounds better.
where did you get the XV mountain rear reflectors? its awesome!
My buddy made them for me, here’s a link to his eBay store. I don’t think he’s got these on there but he can still do them
www.ebay.com/str/stickerbag
Do you need to do any type of tuning for the mapping after this?
Not as far as I know, I certainly don’t and haven’t had any issues
Get the Tsudo Header, it’ll give it more of the Boxer Rumble, just installed mine last week
Got a link? I’ve got a new video this weekend of the new nameless quad exit axel back.
Sasquatch Mountain Tactical just google Tsudo Headers, cheapest website is Speed Element Motors. Quad exhaust, nice man 🤘they look aggressive.
Did you remove the factory gasket? Or put the gasket that's included over the factory one
Remove the factory gasket and replaced with the one that came with it.
Guess I should have read your answer to that question down in the comments before I asked the same thing 😬
Did u have trouble at all loosen up the bolts? Mine is so tight from the factory that I couldn’t get them off. Just see if u had trouble with it
They were tight but I was able to get them off. Yours might require some heat from a torch to get them loose.
Any idea if this would work with a 2013 cross trek?
They do make a version for that generation. I believe there’s a 2013-2017 and a 2018+
Any issues with computer and possible losing horse power? Fuel sensors get messed up when we do this....
I haven’t had any issues, no loss of power, no lights or error codes.
It’s a muffler delete, not a full straight pipe from the headers. Use a little commonsense, you’ll answer your own questions
Evening, just got a 2020 Crosstrek LIMITED. I traded in my 2017 Jeep Renegade Trialhawk. I took the exhaust off and just did a straight pipe. Thoughts about doing this to the Crosstrek vs buying a whole new exhaust?
Just took the MUFFLER off and did a straight pile to end - sorry.
I’ve seen plenty of people do this as well, if it sounds good then go for it.
Did this come with a rubber gasket or flange? I installed mine but I don’t think mine has one
It came with a metal(or whatever they’re made of) gasket similar to the factory one. I’m sure it’s just a standard exhaust gasket.
Looking at getting a crosstrek what’s the overall consensus and my biggest issue is headgaskets.
I’ve never heard of an issue with head gaskets in a trek. I think they’re only an issue in turbo models. I’ve had mine for 2 years and 50k miles, and still love it! It’s a fantastic car for what I need/want.
The fb series motors no longer have head gasket issues
Thanks man!!! I want that ! 😊 will this do anything to the car’s warranty?
Brian Cook Symbios no unless you alternate the catalytic converters/header it shouldn’t.
Did you have any trouble loosening the flange bolts? Mine are SERIOUSLY tight to the point I put all my weight on the wrench and can't get them to turn! Even after WD-40...great video and glad to see this out there!
They were tough but I was able to do it laying down. What year is yours? Maybe put some heat on them.
@@mikeodonnell5476 Thanks a million for the reply - I have a 2019, absolutely going to apply heat next - WD-40 didnt seem to help at all!
Same issue here. Have you tried using an impact wrench? Were you able to get it off using heat?
@@raychungmusic Hey Raymond - I wound up taking my Crosstrek to a garage with a lift so they could reach it much more easily with the proper tools. I didn't want to stip the bolts so I gave up and left it to the pros!
I had this same problem with my 2019 Forester. I basically had to use two socket wrenches (one on each side) and then turn each in opposite directions and it worked. It was a bitch, though.
Do you still have this exhaust ?
How was your thoughts for for drone sound and noise after owning a while ?
My question as well
What is the exhaust called? And what website do you go to buy it ?
Link is in the description. Also they have a new quad tip version that I now have on, and I have a similar video of that as well.
Does anyone know if this exhaust will work with a trailer hitch installed?
I’m not sure but I’d imagine it’ll fit anything that fits the factory exhaust
@@mikeodonnell5476 Right on. Thank you for the response man
1fastcat243 I had to grind down the exhaust hangars like a centimeter or so on both because the hitch was in the way. After that it’s nice and snug.
dopeeee
Have you noticed a difference in gas mileage ?
Nope not at all.
Do you have de mesuration of the exhaut
I don’t and don’t own the car anymore
Do you think I can use this if I have a trailer hitch?
I believe so, but nameless should have more info on their site
I thinkmtaling the cat out would be best. Less restrictions clock the egr take.off head vents off intake plug the ports im the imtake and leave the mufler box!!
Where did you get the clevis from
From Amazon, they have a bunch of colors and they come in a 2 pack.
cvt, do you have the option of manual changes?
Yeah you can put it in manual mode, I rarely do though
@@mikeodonnell5476 Thank you
You should leave the car Mufflerless as in video time: 7:54. That should give you some quite interesting Engine sound. And everyone will now welcome you in the CLub!
And also a quite interesting looking rear bumper cover too.
Borla makes an exhaust for the crosstrek
Ok
Debating if I want to get this for my 2018 Crosstrek 6SPD Crystal White pearl. I'm from Minnesota too.
I would get the version with resonator
@@mikeodonnell5476 did you ever sold this exhaust or you still have it? Just wondering.
@@kengvang1330 yeah I sold it and the car a while ago
They make a tool for the hangers. And also you think this will be louder than my borla muffler?
I can’t imagine it would be if the borla is also a muffler delete. If yours has a resonator then yes it will be louder.
@@mikeodonnell5476 the borla I have is a muffler not a muffler delete so I'm assuming this will be a little louder
Yes it’ll be louder then. It’s not terribly loud, but loud enough and does drone on the highway
How can it be nameless if Nameless is the name?
It’s kinda like no name steaks, but louder.
Curious how heavy that factory muffler?
There’s a pretty big weight difference between the 2, but probably not enough to make a difference in mileage or power.
it is like 40 pounds
My local shop will do a straight pipe for $60.
Ok, that’s definitely an option. I like the design of the nameless and think it sounds great. But saving money is never bad, unless the workmanship isn’t good.
Why not have a pipe that comes out the drivers side.. I will make my own.
Does this void warranty?
Not as far as I know, and it comes on and off in a few minutes.
what sun glasses are you wearing
They’re $25 sunglasses from target 😂 but I really like them.
@@mikeodonnell5476 Man, Target has the best $25 sunglasses around. Ha ha! I just got a cheap pair there the other day. I lose them constantly so... for $25 I can deal with it.
A little raspy, but it's not horrible.
Props to the Atlimas
I love em man! Got multicam and od jungle high tops
I wonder what it would sound like on my manual, i usually sit at about 2k
Would sound better accelerating I’m sure
Did you gain hp or did your car breathe a little better? Thinking about changing my crossteck muffler as well.
I'd be pretty small difference for a axle back. Maby a few hp but I really doubt you would notice it plus any exhaust that adds more then 5% of factory output will void your suberu engine drivetrain warranty.
It’s 1.6 or 2.0 liter?
2.0
Thanks
Have you experienced any issues with the nameless exhaust melting the bumper?
Nope but I haven’t looked underneath recently either
@@mikeodonnell5476 Awesome, thanks for the response! Also would you say it would be necessary to purchase the exhaust hanger bushings as well?
Nope, I just used the factory ones and they worked fine
Sasquatch Mountain Tactical Do you know if this mod will void any warranties?
Anthony Ignacio I really doubt it, and it’s easy to put the oem exhaust back on.
1.6 o 2.0?
2.0
When are you finishing the upper shin/knee tattoo hahaha thats exactly how mine looks its all the linework no shading cuz im stalling on my artist hahaha
😂😂 well I finally got color on the calf, the knee will be a bit. It’s been like that for maybe 10 years. My brother is a tattoo artist but doesn’t live close.
I took mine off it was too loud. Might weld a cherry bomb on it.
the droning.. i extended it out from under the car
@@1godgodgodgodgod that's a good idea. Did you weld longer bars?
Weld a vibrant ultra quiet resonator onto it. It’s kind of in between a muffler and a resonator in terms of sound deadening and is my go to
would sound nice if it was a manual
Don't sound like a Subaru though. AVO has a whole header back exhaust that has that chunky real Subie sound.
It definitely could benefit from uel headers
Check out the newer version I just installed, my most recent video
Cvt??
Yeah
Why?
Ummm is that a red sti sticker on the car? Sheeesh, how embarrassing.
It says SLO, how embarrassing indeed
listen kids. google glasspak on cross trek on youtube. take glasspak to exhaust place tell them to put where your muffler is and there ya go.
Or you could just order a pre made version guaranteed to fit and look/sound nice. To each their own 🤷♂️
Why men always want to re-do things? this one is kind of awkward! if the manufacturer placed a catalysator in there it must be for a good reason! you can't just take stuff out because you decided that morning you didn't like it. Right?
You definitely can, and I did.
Cat is still there I believe, if I’m correct this is basically like a slip on the cat is closer to the engine lol.
