eh, you get what you pay for most of the time... but I think there's a lot of sport compact stuff that's over priced just cuz the market kind of has a "you get what you pay for" attitude... No doubt tho that Borla does make quality stuff... and their price isn't too bad actually.

so your saying the new stock imprezas do not come with that "boxer sound" when the stock headers are equal length?... I don't get it.

the 06' - 07' 2.5i's come with stock EQUAL length headers; which cannot produce the boxer rumble.

the 98' - 05' 2.5RS, comes with stock Un-equal length headers; which has the ability to produce the boxer rumble, if you've got an aftermarket exhaust or borla headers . .etc.
(I disregarded the imprezas under 98' cause idk if they had un-equal length headers)

Equal length = no boxer rumble, but more hp.
un-equal length = yes boxer rumble, less hp.

please correct me if i'm wrong :P
