IMHO best sounding to date.

Wow, sounds great!

Btw that 1st to 2nd shift was to fast to be done by a person and the "brrp" when the shift took place reminds me of a DSG GTi. Could that be the shift speed for the Auto? Because that was fast!

Yup best sound so far I think!

I LOVE the pop in between shifts but sad that it was probably the auto. They're getting faster all the time! Now we just have to see which company will man up and be the first to do a single exit system.

am i the only not wanting a sound like this. im still looking for the boxer rumble

Unfortunately a cat back or axle back won't change that. You'll have to wait for someone to make a UEL header system.....which as far as I know would be much worse performance wise?

I think on a NA application it will because you want some scavenging (sp?) In the exhaust system of a NA engine. If runner lengths are to different you might have power loss.

well its doesnt have to sound like the wrx motors, but for some reason this just sounds typical of an exhaust. the hks legamax sounds best to me thus far.

Uggh, that sounds like shit! Too much rice crackle! :thumbdown:

Sounds like a ricer fart can at idle... sounds a lot better as it revs up, but I'm not sure I'm sold.

As far as getting that distinct lazy WRX rumble (which I admit, I'm terribly fond of), I'm not sure this engine will ever get to sound like it, since I think the sound is specific to the EJ engine.

Damn, can't see the vid at work! :bonk:

Definitely the best thus far.

The rumble comes from the UEL headers, not the EJ engine.

Thanks for the education. Does that mean a UEL swap on the BRZ/FR-S can get the same effect? Both those clips you had kinda had that rumble, but not quite the same (I'm no tuned-ear expert, but I could definitely tell if there's a WRX around the corner)

Yes, aftermarket UEL headers will produce wrx style rumbling.

:word:
+1

Except you may make less power right where it matters due to the inefficiency of scavenging inherent to the UEL design.

How long until we give up educating people (old greg knows his stuff, but may have given up already...) and just point them on where they can get their 'fashionable' stuff done?

There are going to be so many of these cars with UEL headers, slammed on no-name coilovers, wearing staggered wheels and STI Brembo brakes it's not going to funny...

The best part is I'll likely hold on to my Brembos until the summer's over and sell 'em to someone. Don't care if they won't work, not my problem anymore.

And for the most part, I'm starting to give up.

IMO this exhaust brings out the flat-four sound characteristic the most vs other aftermarket exhausts I have heard thus far. Nice!


to people making ricer comments- This is a 4cyl car after all, and will have a 4cyl exhaust note, which people tend to associate when thinking of "ricer" sounding....Luckily the flat-four configuration gives the car a unique exhaust note, which I like. We will just have to see which aftermarket provider accentuates the boxer sound the most.


Like many others, I wish it had UEL headers for the sound, however in an N/A motor EL headers are preferred to maximize gains.

For all those who want the boxer engine sound, please just buy a WRX. Dont ruin a perfectly good design for less power. The maker has spend x amount of $$$ of R&D for this car for someone to throw all that away because they want to slam the car and make it sound "raw".


I told my buddy that the Japanese ppl who at Nissan who did R&D on the 370Z where crying in japan because he slammed the car lol

well, i liked it.

:thumbsup:

It amazes me at how many people disregard beneficial information and go against advice just because "its cool." Not only here, but other Subaru communities as well.

The exhaust looks awesome. Excellent craftsmanship ! MSRP $1600usd before shipping tho, I would consider if they price around a grand.

This so far seems like the best sounding one, if the video is accurate.

In the import tuning community as a whole, actually.
I'll definitely be looking for these used. Though, it looks like you might lose some ground clearance in the axle back portion.

I'm not impressed by this exhaust. meh.

It's not limited to import communities...

It's the best, so far (IMHO). I didn't want to say anything about other communities I have no experience with them, but common sense would dictate that they too operate the same.

Anyone know how these double-can exhausts tend to weigh against the original single big can?

Nice exhaust. Quality company. :thumbsup:

wasn't as nice as I was hoping but glad about the aftermarket support

Do not want.





It's a nice looking system.. I just wouldn't be able to tolerate that noise.

I was thinking the same thing. Probably swapping out exhaust to a single tip would be lighter weight but I haven't been able to find anything on the weights yet.

Sounds like my dream car!!!!!

(sarcasm for those who missed it)

Back on topic..
I rarely change exhausts, and when I do most of mine have been ones I've welded up. IMO wait until you hear this exhausts, which no idea what camera was used and how good it's mic is.. these videos are mostly worthless for shopping IMO unless they are providing proof that they are using good recording gear.

LOL wow. Maybe I'll just bug John@Hitech to build a system for the car instead.

Sounds like a Civic to me......

It's a NA 4 cyl.. what exactly did you expect?

People are always surprised when a 2L 4cyl with equal length headers sounds like every other 2L 4cyl with equal length headers. It doesn't matter if it's in a BMW, a Honda, Ford, you name it, people always act surprised.

Honestly, I have heard civic with exhaust sound better than this and of course there are shittier ones as well.

I think it is still too early to judge if there's any better sounding exhaust because there aren't too much on the market at the moment.
