I really need to hear these systems in person I usually stay with stock exhausts, or the most quiet aftermarket ones..

Edit: If it does have a UEL header.. blah.. no thanks.
Yeah, Id prefer to hear them in person myself, who knows how easy that would be though.

Definitely hope this isn't with UEL headers....

Sounds great, but I think I like the slightly more mechanical sound of the Apexi better.

Nice! Turn down probably affects the sound as well, since the sound waves bounce of the pavement and make the exhaust quieter than straight tip.

Dave, since when are you a mod?

I like it, it's loud enough you can hear it but it's not obnoxious.

Considering how smooth the exhaust pulses are, I'm pretty sure it's just EL.

Yeah I'm pretty sure its the stock header. Even most el headers for subarus have a slight rumble because the primaries aren't perfectly equal.

I dispute that its not too loud though. It's impossible to tell in a video and the exhaust sounds very open.

Yeah I agree. A 2.5rs (NA boxer 4) with an exhaust is loud as hell and is pretty distinctive. Sounds pretty badass to be honest but I personally wouldn't want my car to be that loud without the ability to back up all that noise. This BRZ sounds similar to alot of wrx/stis I've seen with EL headers installed.

Thanks, I actually dont mind the turn downs either. Im always more skeptical of flash than someone trying to make a stealthy product

sounds great. So much so I almost think its a troll, and is dubbed over, or has an engine swap

So these guys don't have a website?? If anyone finds it please let me know

This sounds very similar to my old WRX with EL headers, I'm sold! As for the tips I think they need to be a little bit bigger. They look a little lost...

wow... I keep listening to these clips. Sounds AWESOME. Still has the subaru rumble I've always wanted. I thought equal length would kill that off... what do you mean by "smooth exhaust pulses"? The rev drop?
