Isn't a boxer engine inherently deeper sounding than a inline 4?

With un-equal length headers you get the boxer rumble.

Yeah moreso with UEL headers but even with equal length it still has a deeper note than an online right?

I don't notice my Legacy being particularly deep with the stock exhaust.

True but legacy doesn't have the sportiest of engines (unless do you have the turbo engine). My wife has the NA 170hp version which isn't sporty sounding so I agree with you there. But I remember ichi posting a video of a sick sounding Subie but that might have had UEL headers. Can't remember.

I posted about this in the other thread about Moto-P's announcement but basically Moto-P said Europe and Japan will have stricter noise (or emissions?) restrictions, hence, the US can potentially have a different, louder exhaust.
