Finally there is subaru dealership in Tahiti! So I was thinking to get an 2006 WRX as an extra car for the familly instead of an R32 or GTI... but when I went to test drive the WRX and STi... I felt something was missing.

Why the hell 2006 models sounds like "not a subaru"? Where is the boxer sweet sound?

 

no exhaust. thats y.

 

yup i'd have to agree. you need at a minimum an sti exhaust to get that sweet rumble sound.

 

lol^ what **** said lol^

 

To get the sweet sound require an aftermarket exhaust? If I can remember, previous version sound nice with stock one.

 

alotta ppls had up pipes and down pipes with stock exhaust. also the wrx is now a 2.5L and is very quite compares to the sti which has a more highflow exhaust. and correct me if i'm wrong the 06 wrx comes with equal length headders. which does throw the sound some.

 

i'm curious since your from Tahiti when you mean previous versions are you refering to the jdm wrx or the usdm? because that may make the difference considering that the jdm ones come with a less restrictive exhaust for example no cat in the up pipe and possibly a free flowing exhaust.

 

theres youre answer right there, no changed CBE or anything, its the headers if they really do come with equal lengths. Just get one and put on some gruppe-s headers (I believe they are un-equal).

Subies with aftermarket equal length headers have commonly been referred to as "hondas with *****"

 

yeh tho equal lenght equals more power and it's been proven

 

I'm happy with my power...and I dont wanna sound like a honduh....with or without *****

 

yeh but for a 06 that would be de tuning your car

 

oem equal length still has more power than an aftermarket unequal length?

 

i have borla headder and it did not make much of a different on my car at all except make it louader. my friend has equal and he could feel a big difference. he also had borlas prior

 

but wasnt that equal length aftermarket?

 

yes tho i am asuming these eq length will still do it's job and provide more hp.
