My BRZ sounds more like a subaru with the JDL UEL Header / ARK DT-S catback than my both my brothers WRX and STi LOL.

Still hoping someone with the stock exhaust system would swing on by and post a video of how the header sounds before I get mine so I can grow even more impatient and giddy as I live vicariously through them

I have my stock catback on with jdl hfc front pipe op and header ill take video today for you

I'm curious to hear this too. From what i've read it still sounds stock no? Kind of hope it is a little louder lol.

None of them sound like imprezas, either. In the videos it seems like they sound more like an impreza, but in real life it is a bit different.

I think my car is the one you are talking about without the rasp. Personally, I like the sound of it now. Was a little worried when I first installed the header because it is quite loud but it has a very nice, deep rumble to it. I have the JDL header, stock over and front pipe and agency power catback. I'll try to get a vid up in the next week.

As an added bonus, the JDL header gave me a torque curve as flat as Miley Cyrus's ass. Overall power gain wasn't what I hoped for but I'm going to try replacing the over and front pipe and see what that does in terms of hp and sound.

Here is a little vid right after initial install

This thing absolutely screams on the open road

Yea, yours is definitely the only one Id be able to live with daily. Love dat torque curve, too.

Ug, this has been one long wait. I'm a pretty patient guy but this is getting ridiculous. I can't even remember when the groupbuy kicked off but I remember hoping my header would be done by June.

It's about to be September. I hope I get this header before I deploy for Christs sake. It won't see the car until next May at this rate. Good grief.

So that means you still got the tq dip?

Is that a twerk curve

April sometime, I believe. I placed my order on May 3 and I was late to the party.
