equal length headers get rid of the distinctive impreza sound and will sound extremely loud

When I fitted Gruppe S headers the car was quieter than the OE headers they replaced.

ive had
std headers with tsl fire storm - sounds very deep and burbley -v good if you like the sound of a vw camper van on steriods


421 tubular equal length headers with fire storm - sounds terrible very raspy couldn't live with it - naff

421 tubular equal length headers and hks hiper , rumble was back is sounded very flat and not very deep sounded ok at high revs

4-1 non equal and hks hiper, bit deeper (not much) still sounds a bit flat at low revs high revs sounds ok

all in all std manifold has sounded the best imho but i didn't buy an impreza for looks or sound

ignore the comment about equal length being louder as its just not true

I moved over to equal length headers and it now sounds like a loud motorbike !! Not a real scooby sound but with other mods goes like stink
