It's very Chinese, but will do the job well. If it's a cannon, it'll be farkin loud.

X-Force are better than China Spec systems but can't compete with quality locally built stuff or Japanese systems. They are priced accordingly: between these categories.

Although: X-Force Varex FTW!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IXrLqesZfI

I think you'll find the Cannon to be loud and drone quiet a bit at freeway speeds but you're a young lad, I'm sure you'll love it! If the 03-05 WRXs are as sound insulated as the 06/07s, it shouldn't be an issue (not to you anyway, I'm not sure about your neighbours haha)

Is your muffler straight or angled? Did you get just the muffler or muffler + diff back pipe?

I'm wondering since a muffler swap can be as easy as undoing 2 bolts and swapping the mufflers around.
If there's no modification, you could do it yourself?

I have an X-Force Diff-Back pipe sitting in the garage. It should bolt up to your current system and save you from cutting/welding. And it's straight out - not angled (rice rice)



X-Force = fairly low note. If you're looking for JDM Style's S204 sound or Ramon's S201, X-Force is not the way to go. When I said X-Force can't compete with locally built/japanese stuff, I meant in terms of quality - exhaust note is very subjective...
