Borla Header with test pipe and ISIS exhaust

I forgot to post this. Essentially this is the closest thing to that iconic subaru rumble I've ever heard. I'm bias obviously since it's my car but what do you think. Close your eyes and tell me what car you picture. I've since gone back to the catted front pipe because I don't like driving around with no cats and this is a bit raspy.

What do you means by '' you've gone back to catted front pipe '' ?

You removed the straight front pipe ( Without cat , without resonator ) to put back on the stock front pipe with the cat + resonator ?

Post a video of this setup also so we can compare how different they are.

I used a test pipe with no cat for this video. I put the stock front pipe back in to help with the rasp and smell. I'll do a video of the current sound this weekend.

Did this seem to help quite a bit with the rasp in your opinion? I'll watch the video but its not quite the same as hearing it in person.

Rasp is completely gone with the stock cat back in place.

You removed your ISIS catback also to go back to stock catback ?

So you only have the Borla UEL anymore if I understand you well...

To help with the smell? You mean the smell of sweet unburnt excellence?

Love me some un-catted exhaust smell. Breakfast of champions.

I love getting out my car in the morning with my 'business' clothes on and a little bit of that exhaust smell as a cologne.

No, I put the stock front pipe (cat) back. The ISIS catback hasn't changed.

Video = ISIS, test pipe, borla

Current = ISIS, stock cat, borla.

I said "Rasp is completely gone with the stock cat back in place."

Which is confusing lol. I put the stock secondary cat, back in place. Not "catback" but "cat" "back"

I've done the isis over pipe, test pipe, and cat back. It's way too loud, so I put the stock cat/res pipe back in. I'm still fighting some exhaust leaks but I just need new gaskets, as isis shorted me one. No big deal.

I just didn't want to get pulled over for the noise
