Why does the jdm bugeye not burble like a uk spec?

 

Equal length headers = No burble

 

I read on here recently that the JDM has equal length headers, which makes for greater top-end power but at the expense of the burble. It may just be a scoobynet myth though

 

as above equal headers

 

Been told they are not equal length on the bugeye but are on the blobeye?

 

Unless they were changed Helen, the bugs are all unequal, the JDM blobs are equal with twin scroll.
Are the headers (or manifold as we english say ) wrapped?

I knew I'd seen it somewhere

 

They have a tinny heatshield around them Tony.

 

They sound like the original ones

 

So if they are original and unequal what can be done to achieve it.

 

Do you have a standard exhaust ?

 

they cant be unequal or it would burble. you will have to replace them with a set of unequal ones to get the burble back

 

No it has a full stainless inc decat.

 

I have a 2001 bugeye, had the normal burble sound when i bought it, changed the heaaders for equal length ones and instantly lost the burble sound, have put a louder end can on, now everyone says it sounds exactly like a motor bike when i boot it... tbh once you get used to it you wont want to change back, love the sound, sounds very crisp...

 

My JDM bug sti's on standard headers and got the burble, where as my mates JDM blob sti on standard headers lost the burb!

 

My mates MY00 JDM Bugeye has standard manifiolds, full decat and still has the burble.

 

Enjoy the car Helen, you cannot have the burble sound on a jdm unless you put unequal lenght headers on and wave goodbye to 25-30lbs of torque.
