Another way is to tell is the burble. You will not have it with a twin scroll as the headers are equal length.

A twin scroll unit would not look any different to a single scroll unit when fitted on the car. You would have to remove the turbo in order to see the difference. Twin scroll refers to the fact that there is a divider in the exhaust housing, allowing the exhaust pulses from each cylinder to sepearted and allow for a more efficient build up of boost.

Your car will have a twin scroll setup being that MY. It will be an IHI VF37 unit.

Non Twin Scroll
YouTube - 2005 Sti with Borla sound clip


Twin Scroll
YouTube - Subaru Impreza Spec-C with Milltek Exhaust

As above you will notice the twin scroll has lost the burble due to the equal lenght headers, twin scroll uppipe and twin scroll turbo.


HTH.

View my scooby for some simple mods. Andy F managed to squeeze 364 bhp / 379 lbs ft out of my JDM.

Providing your turbo has not been changed, you will defo have a twin scroll.
