What exhaust system do you think sounds most like a Subaru?

FT-86 SpeedFactory · 11-27-2012, 10:11 AM

I think ours does a pretty good job of it.

Sounds great man. I can't wait til I'm home for lunch break to listen to the longer video

The stock exhaust sounds exactly like our Subaru Legacy.

since it's a boxer motor, it's going to sound like a subaru regardless. however, you want the wrx/sti sound, which comes from having an unequal length header. so add your full exhaust of choice, and then an unequal length header

You also have to remember that our engine is much smaller than the wrx so getting that very deep rumble probably isn't likely.

Also our compressions ratio is 4 points higher than that of a ej20, will make the exhaust more chrisp and sharp and a little less deep. With dropped compression, uel headers and exhaust youll be as close as you will ever get.

No spinny muffler (turbo) in these cars either. A turbo will make exhaust quieter and drop the tone a bit too.

The WRX has had a 2.5 liter since the 2006 model year

So? My 2.0 wrx sounds identical to a 2.5 with turbo back.
