Most EL headers will provide that sound. Here's Nameless EL header:

And JDL:

^ Not bad ! Guess I'll go for a EL header. I guess boxer rumble just never did it for me. I really like the boxer sound on those GT3 though, maybe I'll have to look into that in a couple more years!

Am I the only one who likes both? For me it is only if the exhaust is too loud, raspy or drones. I love how my nameless sounds, and I also like matts Jdl UEL. To each their own. I went nameless in hopes of more power in the dip, and I'm very happy with it.

This is a great look on it. Everyone should be happy we have so many options to customize. The aftermarket exploded for this car.

Definitely agree that both sound great. I had a hard time choosing my header. If EL sounds more like your cup of tea, you won't regret it! I just don't want everyone to think the UEL sounds like cheesy rumble

All exhausts are gonna sound "low" at LOW rpms and less at higher rpms.

but every motor has its distinct sound and the rumble u get out of the boxer is just the way the motor naturally sounds. well I heard that with equal length headers it helps tone down the rumble to more of a typical 4 banger sound from inline 4's but that kinda defeats the purpose although I wish I can have the sound of a small liter v8 from exotics i dont know why but i luv that sound but I do still luv the boxer rumble too

Choose the dark side. Become one of us. Either way, get some EL headers for that race car sound! I think both sound great, I mean how can you not love this?
