Looks UEL. What does it sound like, that is way more obvious

X2 it looks like UEL to me, but I think you really need to pull the belly pan and look at it to know for sure.

low rumble, but remember there's no cat on the header or over pipe, and its an exhaust delete so no muffler... only an invidia resonator in the mid pipe (i think in that picture) so that plays into the sound too...

Interesting news... been looking around and I finally think I found what kind of header I have.... almost identical to the original picture... guess its time to start shopping, although I do like the way it sounds....

Yeap, there is nothing better than the sound of an inefficient and poorly engineered UEL exhaust header
The kids like the sound though, and the marketing for them is gold standard, if you close your eyes you can think your in a old wrx, until you hit the loud pedal, then it is the loudest slowest thing in the neighbourhood
