No deep low sound?

Is there any exhaust out there that doesn't sound deep & low? I am trying to avoid the whole boxer rumble thing.

This one sounds pretty decent, but wondering are they any other out there.

Buy a shitty eBay exhaust. The rasp and leaks will hide the rumble.

Get an equal length header instead of an unequal length header.

Sell your car or get an equal length header.

UEL is hardly obnoxious. EL fartcan honda sounding is obnoxious. I like my deep rumble and sounding like a WRX.

Just keep your car in the high RPM range. That's the main reason you like the sound in the video -- even UEL headers at higher RPM sound less "rumble" and more smooth. But yes, EL will sound smoother all the way around.

I have a UEL and love it.

auto factory is my favorite GT86 tuned setup! They've got a lot on it, like a 5.1 gear ratio, and full exhaust setup with OP and FP. I think their dolphin tail exhaust alone is around $3k.
