New custom exhaust :)
2 1/4 " pipe tucked up as high as possible
had to put the cat in to stay legal (this one is out of a pajero)
Rear lukey muffler (when the engine starts up we will see how this sounds and such and might end up changing it a bit)
On the trailer ready to go, it was a wet day and it took a block and tackle and alot of sweat to get it on that trailer

Should sound pretty nice, i have almost the exact same system minus Cat, cause mine is 86... and it sounds pretty good, maybe i bit loud for some people, but i needed something decent with the dual ports screaming... Insert evil laugh here..

Cheers lads for the kind words,
What exactly is the concern benny? I went with a 2 1/4 " system the whole way through on the basis of research here as well as other sources including the bloke who did the work. Luckily he had actually made complete custom systems for older suby's a couple of times and in fact introduced us to a bloke who has multiple very nice brumbies...who also very generously gave us the steering extension that we have been chasing for a long time.
After a good chat with the guy who did it he suggested starting it up and if I am not happy with the sound fitment etc I can get it changed including changing mufflers if it is too loud too quiet etc

BB,
I've been told many times over that you can't get much better if at all over the stock Y pipes on the subi's - NA anyway.
If the exhaust is too big you might not have the required "back pressure" which I think is actually mistaken for turbulence as the exhaust gas stumbles into an exhaust pipe that's too large.
This is one of the reason's for doing a cat back system - the other reason is the cost of knocking up another set of extractors on top of the cost of the rest of the exhaust...
If you've gone to a shop that knows subarus and has a fella who's got several sweet EA81's with custom exhausts then you should be right by a mile. Also the good indicator is the fact the guy is willing to swap mufflers etc.
I made my initial comment because I've got a 2 and a 1/4 inch cat back system on my EJ22 - it goes very nicely, not the cleanest note but it's loads better than the bodge job of plumbing the EJ Y pipe into the existing L series exhaust I had after the conversion.
Cheers
Bennie
