I don't mind the rest of the rear though

God damn that wrx looks cheap.

I just can't with the WRX. I'm sure it will grow on me like every new year model, but I just find the heavy amounts of plastic trim distasteful.

it hasnt looked good since 2007

Seems like can turn off the Active Sound Control?! I assume that's the speaker that goes Vrrooommm.

At the 6:30 Mark thereabouts he even says there is some de sync between sound and actual rpm. Off by 0.5s, which he realised only when editing the video.

According to the (dodgy) translation, can be turn off at the dealers, at least in JDM land I guess.

Wonder if we should create a thread on teardown....

More teardown stuff.

Also see the duck tail removed:

Removes the black bar between the taillights too. So many options are going to be out there for this!

From the photos I seen, top spec gr86 seem to have the big ducktail tacked on top of the stock duct tail. I wonder why they could just replace the darn thing.

It's probably just cheaper, especially because the ducktail extension looks like it's only for North America. I'm just glad it'll be easy to remove both once there's an aftermarket one I prefer.

So you’re saying I can get a bigger, blacker bar?

SHIEEEEEEET SIGN ME UP.

Video comparing active sound on/off.

Not sure if it’s disabled via software or simply unplugged. Definitely sounds much more natural with it off, but it’s a bit quiet. Then again in person those sentiments may not hold up.

The sound generator was really bothersome on Gen1, hope it is better or have a easy way to turn it off.

I think someone else mentioned that a rough translation of the video seems to state that the ASC can be turned off by a dealer (or anyone with an up to date Subaru/Toyota scan tool I would assume). So similar to VAG cars I think

Thanks for the find!

Looks like the hidden CAN bus connector is still available behind the head unit, which is awesome news for people who do data logging.
