Burble/rumble only from Type UK?
Hi, im looking for my first Impreza and told if I want the Burble I have to get a Type Uk as JDM cars don't have the rumble. Is this right?
Because im looking at a lot of nice JDM cars advertised and would it be handy enough to change headers or whatever to get the rumble then?
Also, is there any big disadvantage of JDM as opposed to UK as far as the insurance companies goes?
many thanks

Hi,
Please feel free to give us a try for insurance if you like. If you wanted to PM me some contact details I'd be happy to arrange for one of my quotes team to give you a call back.
Regards,
Dan.

The Blob and onwards JDM are twin scroll which use equal length headers and kill the best thing about a Scooby IMO. Give flux a call for insurance regardless, I got an agreed value of £12500 for £1400 and I'm 22

It depends what you're after, JDM variants are undoubtedly better spec'd but you do lose that signature sound with equal length headers. I have a genuine genome back box on mine though and that restores the burble quite nicely.
Insurance was about the same as a UK spec for me too.

There still is a slight burble to the twin scroll but its not like that of the older cars, plus on most Subaru's they dont actually burble unless you start replacing the exhaust systems, but the JDM's sound better (twin scroll) as they are much more rally car sounding than the UK STI's.
Anyone who just buys a car for its sound needs to look and see if its the right car to start with, there is much more to it than that, drivability, power delivery, handling etc which is different between the models.

I have recently had my RB5 converted to a twin scroll with equal length headers and whilst the car sounds very different it also sounds utterly epic with the Miltek exhaust. I actually prefer the sound and would not change it back.
The drivability is also massively improved with the twin scroll.
I only wish I'd know of this before!
