not quite maybe like a srt4 with a lil bit of grumble

 

Like this?http://youtube.com/watch?v=dAhTk6pjCMk
Sounds like a fun party lol

 

wow that looks sick but it sounds terrible, why not just get a flame thrower exhaust? http://www.eatmyflames.com/?gclid=CM...FRsTawodKEVZPA

 

I may be in the minority, but I've never liked the sound of the flat 4's. I love more of a purring sound (Ferrari V8 anyone?) instead of the very mechanical sound of the boxer.

 

The anti-lag, whatever that is, sounds like ass. I dont know. I like that magnaflow but i like the grumble of the sti.

 

I love the sound of the boxer 4... probably the best sounding engine ever... definately one of the most distinctive. There are some engines out there that you can identify easily b/c of the exhaust sound.

subaru boxer 4
ford modular V8 (4.6L)
chevy 350
porsche 6-cyl
ferrari v-8
BMW inline 6

just to name a few...

 

if you took off our cyl head and looked down you would see [OOOO].

You would see [O O] on the right side of the block and [O O] on the left side of the block.

O representing a piston head

Nothing sounds quite like a small block chevy with a dual plane manifold and full lenght headers. Its a sound thats than the Train Wreck.

 

Add Mustang 5.0L, and Viper V10 to that list.

 

You know how to make a Cobalt sound like a boxer? Pull out a spark plug, and start the car.

 

every time i hear a subie with exhaust i wish my car sounded that nice

 

Its b/c they run un-equal length headers (yes, headers.......two 2-1 headers) from the factory. Lots of manufactuers, like Perrin for instance, make equal length headers for them though, b/c alot of Subie owners are against the classic Subaru burble.

 

This thread has much fail.

Perrin doesn't make equal length headers because "a lot of owners are against the blah blah I don't know what I am talking about." They make equal length headers because they offer more gains than unequal length headers.

 

its also because of the firing order. If im not mistaken the sti's have an odd firing order, which is very uncommon in a 4-banger (i think the wrx is the same way).

 

Overrev your engine and break 3 lifters and your Cobalt will sound just like one.

 

Much fail!

 

Funny, b/c my roomate has a fully hooked up '06 STI and is personal friends w/ the owners of Mach V Motorsports and the guys at Vivid Racing.......so yeah, what would I know about Subies.

Yeah, your right about the larger gains that equal length headers over the un-equal length headers. Any idiot can go pick up the newest issue of Modified and see that AMS proved that on their '06 STI. But in all reality, alot of people swap to those headers for the sound aspect of it. Weak sauce? Yes. But people do dumber things. Just like everyone who gets lightweight wheels.....not for the weight saving......but b/c they "look cool". Same goes with CF body panels like hoods and trunks. They save weight.......but c'mon, look at how many "boy racers" put CF parts on just to look cool. Theres a guy in my town who has a silver '03 bugeye, and I noticed his car was lacking the classic Subie burble, so I asked him "hey, most Subie owners skip the aftermarket headers and just do the downpipe" and his exact response was "I got tired of the way my car sounded so I got the equal length headers".

So in a perfect world, yeah, everyone would upgrade things on their cars for the real, beneficial reasons..........but that world just dosent exist bro.

so.... much.... fail....

 

ive never heard of ANYONE replacing the headers to get rid of subarus signature rumble, hell im running a gt42r with custom 4" headers that are 1" longer on header 1, just to get the rumble back that i lost when i had the gt35r and aps equal length headers

 

lol, move out here to shitville and see all the funny things people do to cars.........its a sad sad world. Hell, we even have WRX's running around out here with euro tails........

But we have our fair share of nice cars too. My roomates STI has an AP (Agency Power) full TBE, AP BOV, Injen CAI, Cobb springs, AP short shifter, GT Spec cf exhaust heatshield, Cobb turbo heatshield, custom dyno tuning......few other knicks and knacks. He's getting ready to get some AP sway bars and GT Spec bracing for the entire car, then he's gonna work on upgrading the turbo and fuel system.

 

people do,do dumb stuff. you know whats real sad subaru started putting "euro" tails on all their wrx tr's stock.

if he does a turbo upgrade have him look at the garrett gt4088r, dont do the 35r gets boring

 

Word. My friend Eric had the 35r.....damn I used to rememeber exactly what kit he had......... on his '06 WRX. I used to work w/ him and carpool with him. I think he went with a Forced Performance turbo..........but I just cant remember. He's since moved to PA, so I havent talked to him in a while. But last I heard he ditched that turbo for a different one.

 

So you not knowing what you are talking about in "asking", "hey, most Subie owners skip the aftermarket headers and just do the downpipe" (is this even a question? and most owners don't skip headers) and ONE guy saying he didn't like the sound somehow means "a lot of owners" don't???

 

I think that a corsa sport exhaust with no cat sounds most like a boxer motor. Check the official exhaust thread for the clip

 

Blow #4 and it will sound like an STi. lol

 

Thats already been said. Youre two weeks late.
