:thanks: :popcorn:

ohhhh man, very cool thank you sir

Just love that video. Wish the engine sound was easier to hear. But I like!

:respekt::bow: Hachi, you are on top of your game! Thanks again for sharing!:bow: :respekt:

:respekt:At continuing the constant updates. Loving it.

at 0:04 is that a front mount intercooler ?

nope, sorry

:sigh:

Nice footage. Its nice to see it moving! Thanks Hachi!

wow everytime i log in there's always something new! Im liking this test mule, =)

thanks hachi :bow:

It looked like the guy that poked his head out from the garage told the passenger not to open it until the door came down..FK!

awesome!!!! doesn't sound like they used uel headers!!!

^For NA to use uel header is rare... but again, I'm talking from Subie experience and not Toyota

Is there any difficulty with them using el, or are you just saying they never do it?

Not sure I like the turn signals near the center.

Might help other drivers see if they can move them to the corner more...

uel header have tendency of bring CEL. It sure is one of nightmare NA Impreza owner have... but that doesn't stop Toyota/Subaru from using the. Also kinda waste of material.

Here's my uel

When you install it, it looks like this (pic isn't mine)

see how it's near oil filter & oil pan? while el looks like this

Here's OEM header vs OBX header

and it doesn't rap around oil filter or oil pan

I don't know Subaru as well as you, but if you want high hp don't you want to use a equal length header instead of the UEL header? So basically UEL is a poor choice for high horsepower? I remember reading that in an article. Also something about UEL screwing up cylinder 2 and 4 and causing a failure? So is the only reason for UEL for that deep rumble? Any other benefit?

UEL gives better mid range power while EL gives better high range power / peak power IIRC.

Can someone add these abbreviations to the terminology thread? Or are they there already? *goes to look*

Hm... that's not fully true. Look at turbo ver headers. they're uel. I highly doubt they gonna use uel just to break the engine.

yes, el header can get more hp than uel... but that's in high rpm. While low rpm uel have more hp.

My opinion, it's all up to personal. Some ppl claim uel get more hp w their setup. While some ppl claim el get more hp w their setup.

As I said I don't know much about this so will defer to you. I found the article that I remember reading several weeks back.

That article could be all wrong?

:w00t: It's nice to hear the boxer roar a little bit. :thanks::thanks::thanks:

Nice find & I totally agree w the article. Specially if you wanna push over 400hp. BUT I'm only talking bout stock/OEM.

Subaru knows this... but why they still use uel on S series STI (S202, S203, S204, S402)? If they really want, they can make el headers for them.

Answer to this, IDK. Only Subaru knows. But thing I know is boxer engine have more stuff to worry than putting more stress on #2 & 4 cylinder. btw, #3 cylinder have higher chance of comp ratio failure than #2 & 4. Why? IDK

Number 1 thing they need to worry is crank bearing. higher the rpm goes, boxer engine have more chance of having crank bearing failure. I want to know how Toyota gonna solve this problem, cuz I'm expecting this car to at least beat GC series Impreza redline.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Well kinda since the issue seems a bit more complex. ;)

Wow..seems like something simple but its definitely not. Thanks ich

Thank you hachi!!!!

Man, I must've watched that vid like 6 times.....

Imagine having that job guys...just imagine what its like to be those people, testing it....I want that job!:cry:

:clap:

I think that goes for all of us!

Wow looks awesome cant wait to see them for real....

But whats the deal with the TRD spoiler that looks like its come straight
from a ZZT230 Celica (1999-2006)

MORE SOUND!
