so your telling us that there is real people on that site!
ha i just thought it was a bunch of lamely written bots. haha

oh and there is no other subaru site besides this one on the web.

And nothing short of replacing the motor with a inline 4 or a v something will get ride of the wonderful noise our motors make

 

or an equal length exhaust manifold?

 

ask... andrew from bianco subaru... what his setup is in terms of exhaust... its very nice sounding.

It's a myth that changing out the exhaust manifolds for equal or unequal length headers will completely change the sound of a boxer engine. Not true. It may slightly change the tone of the motor, much the same as on an inline four or a V8, but only because of the construction (comparatively thinwall steel tubing). It will sound different than stock, but it will still have a unique boxer note.

Boxers always sound different than inline or V engines. This goes for any number of cylinders. Examples are old air-cooled Volkswagen flat four or Porsche air-cooled or water cooled flat sixes. The unique sound is a result of the 180-degree opposed cylinders and the firing sequence for each engine revolution.

headers make scoobys sound "crisp" imho...i have the gruppe-s one and i like it...gonna upgrade to cusco someday, why? because its cusco

josh

 

WW, have you even heard a scoob with an equal length manifold?

 

No, I haven't. Wait, I may have at one meet but I'd have to ask the owner or someone who knows him. I can't even remember his screen name at the moment...

PJ from Gruppe-s had the maxim works headers which was equal length. We always made fun of him because it made his car sound like a honda.

the header gave me more mid range and top end, and actually made my exhaust quieter at idle and low rpms, but louder at WOT/higher RPMs

I've got the Gruppe-S header as well. I haven't installed it yet (hopefully tonight before the meet). I'll try to remember to make an mp3 or something with before and after notes.

:banana: Gruppe-S GT Spec 2 Header :banana:

 

pjs car did sound like a honda. the gruppe-s header does NOT make the car sound like a honda.

dont you have it tommy?

 

I have this header set up. I LOVE IT!! I might add that with this header and the TXS TBE it sounded mean...BUT had had a slight "raspy" sound to it, as it climbed to WOT (sorta like a honda, but not).

Now, I have the BPM TBE with the same header and NO "raspy" sound...just VERY sporty...like a porche I guess you could say. I liked how both exhausts sounded but I tent to like this set-up more.

Anyway, the header is good and so it the price.
