I guess I'm in the minority, dislike the UEL sound. Sorta sounds like my old 911 when it was misfiring on two cylinders.

Me too, it sounds like a miss on any bigger engine. I had an old chevelle with a built 327 that liked to fling off number one and number two cylinder spark plug wires. The unequal length headers totally remind me of that when I hear them. I prefer the equal length header sound on the twins. If it was a real subaru it would have 4wd. It doesn't require that thrummy boxer burble. I know many disagree with me on this. We can disagree and still be friends, right?! Just my opinion.

If you're gonna list TRD license plate frame, might as well list your stickers/decals too.

No bc it's auto.

I also am annoyed to watch the driver so "engaged" driving this car. I am sorry, but not being MT, a driver cannot be as connected to the car, with the AT/paddle shifting.

Specifically, the different exhaust sound you get from UEL.
Why is removing the primary cat a benefit? I thought the primary cat is required for state inspection and prevents CEL?

Do you have a version with music not designed to get girly men in the mood to rumble?

Forgive me for not sorting through every single thread I could find, but just how "non-existent" is that difference?

I'm in the middle of deciding whether I should swap headers first or front-pipe/catback.

My goal is to eventually swap out the entire exhaust system, but I don't have the money to give it a go all at once.
