Ive got a 2litre sport and was wondering if i put an exaust on it will it sound anything like a turbo? any recommendations or ideas?

Thanks,

The main sound comes from the unequal headers / manifold.

If it's a turbo you want, save what you want to spend on your sport and put it towards the turbo.

So many people, including myself spend so much money trying to make something that will just never be.

As above, save you're pennies for a Turbo

You can buy unequal length manifolds for the sport.

You can but...... This could cause all sorts of issues without a remap.

Worst case scenario

£500 headers + £300 fitting
Remap/New ecu max £1200

£2000 is over half way to a lovely v6 sti classic

This is a non turbo. Remap wouldnt be needed. I fitted un-equal headers to my sport with no issues at all.

I have a non turbo too. I changed the Sti exhaust for a haywood & scott centre pipe and exhaust and sounds good to me but at times i do think its abit lould.

That is what you need for burble.

Remap is not needed pal.
I got my wife a 2.0 GX wagon last year. She wanted it to sound more like a turbo so I fitted a S/S exhaust system for her. It sounded nothing like a turbo with just the exhaust, just made a horrible noise more suited to an escort or nova.
Added unequal length manifold and was spot on buddy.

The link above will provide that burble, just dont expect top quality for that price. Will do the job though.

Agreed, Usautomotive will get you a genuine Borla, at a £300+ price tag. Not worth imho spending that amount on a sport. The welds can be a bit iffy on the cheaper ebay versions.
