Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

best boxer sound out of an exhaust

i have borla headers and catless t.w.e. pipes to a stromung muff.

if i had to do it again, id get t.w.e. headers and catles pipes to an hks muff. it sounds unbelievable. by far the meaniest exhaust sound possible. search for sound clips.

dont get borlas they crack!! yes, even the new ones!!

I always thought that it would be cool to go to a Porsche exhaust shop and have a custom Porsche exhaust put on my wrx. I would go do it, but I'm sure the cost is way to high! I would assume that if you had that setup, that it would give you the best boxer sound. Do you guys know if anyone has ever done that?

I run that setup except with borlas. They haven't cracked on me yet and I haven't heard any gen4 borlas cracking. IM me on AIM(fourdoor4wdfury) and I'll send you a video clip.

Porshe exhausts sound really sweet, unlike anything ive ever heard. When they drive by it sounds like a swoooooooooooosh, or a low buzz kinda.

I'm sorry but I don't see them 'just cracking' without being hit, maybe by a rock, or something. Maybe rattling? I don't know but it just seems strange.
I have yet to really hear much if any gen 4 borlas cracking.

Who cares if they crack, any exhaust shop will fix the cracks for $20 or less. Its just metal piping.
