boxer rumble baby
unequal headers ftw
Hard to beat the rumble.
SupremClasDevastator yep!
Not as reliable tho
@@masonmirante1538 did he ask, you Dont buy a Subaru for reliability
I love the unequal length headers it keeps the rumble through the high RPMs I cannot live without that rumble
Agreed
Can't lie, unequal length is keeping it true the the f4, but equal length sounds bomb with the waste gate.
This.
A little late but I just got el headers with an ewg and the sound is incredible
This is a good quality video to demonstrate the difference, thank you for taking the time to make this video!
I can’t believe this video is 5 years old. Those gold rims are unbelievable
The mic may not pickup equal but from what I can hear unequal has a unique sound that sets it further apart from v8, v6s consistent sound which I like. Choppy exhausts sound great to me. Cammed i4, subarus, straight 6 turbod. All sound great.
I finally made the decision to go Equal Length (Tomei Expreme). So now in running a Tomei El Header, 3 bolt Grimm speed EWG with Tial 38mm Wastegate, Tomei Expreme Catless DP, Tomei Expreme Ti Turboback. The sound is incredible, but the big difference is on the dyno!!! Just adding the EL Header and obviously revising the protune, I made an additional 31 awhp!!!! The EJ motors run so much healthier with the EL system. Anyone ever wonder why Subaru's in Japan never came with UEL Header? They sound cool, but that's about it.
Hell yeah! Crazy gains.
Glass-Man-252 couldn’t agree more with you. My biggest regret with my subie when I had it was not going EL’s. EL’s, aftermarket oil cooler and good protune and your Subaru will run for many many many miles on nothing but routine oil changes and filling the gas tank :) everyone I’ve talked too also stated how the EL’s made the car far more eager to rev out which is always a plus lol.
@@sleeper.simulant7327 +air oil separator
Agree. Just with swapping to EL, got a tune and unlocked 22awhp and 50lbs tourque
@@jeraldc.1729 Damn crazy torque gain
I personally like the uel headers cause it just give the car a distinct and unique sound.
I prefer equal-length. The sound is less intrusive in the cabin (I'm old, and I care about such things :P), they have numerous mechanical benefits which have been detailed in other comments, and they sound like an old Porsche or Corvair, which I just love.
But hey, if you love UEL, more power to you.
If I wanted equal length, I would have gotten an EVO :P .
Hahaha :)
Definitely
Yeah but uel headers fuck your motor over time. So. Evos are better anyways motor and suspension wise
Ahahah
Oof, if I got an Evo. I would've driven it off the cliff 😅
I clicked on this video with my usual expectations of the equal length car going to have shitty raspy sound like they usually do. But that's a very nice sounding set up. Hat off to that dude
Equal Length ALL day,
Performance over sound. 😄👍👍
Totally agree, I do love the sound too!
i dont think so !
Mark Bunjac bruh they come from the factory like that...stop saying factory shit is bad for the engine...it obviously isnt
Willy bman it’s not bad, it’s just not as good. Think about it like upgrade brakes from stock, factory ones will work just fine but upgraded ones will work that much better
@@willybman3723 you realise the performance Impreza's Spec C / RA / RA-R come with equal length from factory right?
I prefer unequal length headers but the equal length setup shown in this video is the best exhaust setup i've heard for equal length. Most videos I watch on equal length subarus sound like a honda.
UEL definitely attract neighbours😂💪
Yeah my neighbors love me🥲
The EL headers sounded better here. I wonder if you had an aftermarket UEL setup would it have sounded a bit louder and as clean as the EL. EL headers are slowly growing on me but I’ll keep the boxer rumble just a bit longer.
The EL still has a bit of a rumble to it. It almost makes me want to get it
I consider myself a pretty fair guy overall but when it comes to boxer exhausts i am FIRMLY AGAINST equality!!
Absolutely perfect video for what I wanted to hear! I am going to change for the equal length headers, the car sounds more urgent and responsive but still have the boxer growl!
Absolutely right I choose efficiency over rumble. ELH sound just as good
You mean Honda growl LOL? That is what you get with EL.
ok, I wasn't ready for that... that take off was pretty brutal...
Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should..
Went EL never went back. With a tune the response is so much more significant. Cars still loud as hell lol just doesnt sound like its choking like on UEL
I'd do it for that alone, but it also sounds better. Rumble is nice at low RPMs, otherwise not so much.
Equal length all the way. If i wanted my car to run inefficiently I'd keep the stock POS exhaust
ELH FTW
UEL. exactly as wrc subies sounded back in late 90's - early 2000's
Unequal headers brahh, keeps the true subaru rumbleee
Dnzka exactly
DS Studios sounds like my gokart, no way bro lol
Boxer rumble ftw
@@Jasnman28 any vehicle with uel rumbles lol
Fun fact, unequal length headers actually sacrifice power.
And increase cylinder temps
I always used to the el sounded like rice. BUT since owning a 16 WRX with factory EL I have to say I would almost now prefer it. then again I am coming from an Evo lol
I have been wanting EL headers however have been hesitant per the comments I hear on it sounding tinny or rice... Thanks for making this video because to me on your cars the EL headers are way better sounding than the UEL. Your black STI sounds awesome. I love my Subaru however have never been a fan of the UEL sound. Time to place an order!
I LOVE the ELH, paired with the External Gate!
Well if I am pulling the header off anyhow it only makes sense to put on an EWG up pipe! Sold! Trying to get as much out of that stock turbo while I am on the stock block. ( 2013 Wrx )
Do you muffle your EWG dump tube at all? I have heard mixed reviews on liking the sound. Your car sounded awesome, maybe attributed to the ELH like you said.
Yes might as well do it all. I do not, I love how it sounds. Do it!
Oh my.. that black hawk eye is such a beauty.
Would have been a better comparison if the grey sti has the Tomei UEL headers
UEL sounds like a lawnmower. EL sounds like a chainsaw. I love me a chainsaw.
Uel sound like a muscle car
@@nigelholland1714 EL moves like a muscle car. That's the difference.
@@octurbojoe this comment.
OCTurboJoe power is almost unchanged. And actually the UEL header spools the turbo faster. Not many people know that. Engineers went for that specifically.
sean kelly and that’s where you are wrong. Single scroll setup on Killer B EL’s saw a gain of 26 whp and 50 ft lbs torque over ported UEL’s.... that’s a fairly significant power bump lol. The Killer B’s also spooled the stock turbo over 500 rpm sooner and torque comes on very hard and strong, while making better power top end. UEL’s only advantage is the shorter runners allow slightly, and I mean slightly, better transient response, which is often mistaken as spool... but with EL’s you can run a twin scroll setup which has far superior response and spool time. EL’s are a proper setup, as a engineer myself, we always strive for the most efficient designs. Efficiency in flow equates directly to superior performance. Drive them back to back, the EL car feels like it’s been freed of restriction...
I think the huge ewg on the equal length really helps bridge the gap
Although I love your car, I have to say unequal length is the way to go if you want to keep the true Subaru sounds
Cph Vids Only in America Lol in europe we have equal Lenght
EL headers sound heaps better, and make better power not to mention UEL sound like youve taken a coil pack out of one of the cylinders and make the engines sound like they rev less and everyones subaru sounds the same with UEL honestly
ELH Does not kill the iconic rumble it just tones it down.
Unequal length headers sounds dope
I have both on Stage 2+ and I prefer the uel perrin header. Sounds like a crazy bumblebee and the performance is also okay. (El is a little bit better) but if you run twinscroll you have to use el (you everytime should remember edm and usdm are not compareable to jdm)
Perrin has some nice products!
Great vid showing the difference in sound. Thanks
We're about to find out. Went with EL on my efr 7670 rotated build that should be done at the tuner soon! EL sounds amazing to me, people that day it doesn't sound like a Subaru anymore...it's different, sure, but the cylinders are still massively oversquare. I still hear Subaru all day on EL. Wouldn't know which other engine to compare it to anyway. 🤷♂️
Honda i think is the engine you are looking for. EL make the STI sound like a K series. You can have my 20 to 30 hp i will keep the UEL.
Definitely the UEL headers thx for the video dude
Early Devon … so inspiring.
Unequal for me
I just bought equal length headers fml lol
TechTomics lmaooooo
TechTomics ricer doesn't know the difference lmaooo
I like the sound of ULH, but I'll stick with ELH myself.
ELH definitely
My 02 wrx has unequal for now, but because I got the EWG, VF39, STI injector, 6 speed drivetrain swap, I may go with the EL from Killer B get an open source retune and keep it like that.
EL=Healthy
UL=Blow engine
I prefer the ELH and have equal length in my 2015 sti the rumble gets boring good video 👍🏼👌🏼
nice vid bro!! equal length sounds mint
Thanks!
We all know ULH but ELH sound awesome too. It is a different animal in sounds. And ELH better safer for your engine
Equal length all the way. Better power, still sounds great, and equal cylinder pressure
Agreed!
Lol bro u came a long way vlogging.and jus doin videos in general 🤙🏾
People for UEL : HURRDURR MY WARRBLY RUMBLY SOUNDS
Ooh, a mature open-minded comment from a TH-cam commenter! What a surprise!
I have the same headers paired with a tial 44 EWG... and your right. Nothing like it man... GUARANTEED to put a smile on your fave EVERY day!!! 👏🏻
Equal or unuqual? Which ones you have?
UEL ALL DAY EVERYDAY
I have equal length on my sti and I hate the way it sounds but I have to have it for a twin scroll turbo setup. Definitely miss that great unequal length subie rumble
I love the sound.
Thanks for making this!
Put the black exhaust set up on the silvers uel headers, there you go.
EL FTW 😎👊
Agreed!
I was expecting the el to sound alot worse. Hmmmm. Still kinda has a rumble too.
UEL FTW !
At idle equal, at rev the unequal 💯
If have to say I love the rumble and I like the el
What's that fluttering noise when they're going under boost? You can especially hear it on the ELH black car.
external wastegate
@@thisisflake_ You're right. After watching some other videos it seems to happen because of an electronic boost controller which constantly makes adjustments, hence the flutter. Strangely, haven't heard this on any other car...
a5m that constant flutter sound is from the wastegate dump, it’s super loud from outside the car typically haha, that’s while you’ll see 2 pipes coming out of a hood on turbo Hondas and stuff, one pipe is exhaust off the turbo, other pipe wastegate dump, sometimes it can be as loud or louder than the exhaust itself

I don’t think “rice” is the correct word to put considering EL is better for the car
I prefer the EL for mine!
If you run elh and big cam would you still have subie rumble? I'd lime to see a video on that.
Like*

If you perferr equal length headers, I'm sorry I just don't know what's wrong with you 🤷♀️
Although rumble sounds good it is he sound of inefficiency. Once you start moding it builder will always recommend ELH
@@nonofyourbusinessnonofyour5435 yeah ik, I should've said, if you prefer the SOUND of EL's
@@dallasmellsop5488 when you start moding beyond 300whp you are have to make choice reliability with ELH or live with possibility of nock with ULH.
Rice. All day. Throw in a chargespeed bodykit too.
Idk man the first one sounded really good
Is uel headers good for the long run? I mean cylinder 1 and 3 fails?
Anyone buying a Subaru and putting ELH should of just bought an EVO instead. You would make more power for less and sound the same.
Can anyone explain to me how to get your wastegate to sound like it did with the ELH? I’ve heard it sound like that on some evos too it’s almost like it surges??
EWG
Prefer unequal
Black sti with ELH running an external wastgate yes?
Sounds like it..sounds built too maybe
Lol, Rumble IS rice. No benefit other than making your car sound like it's perpetually misfiring. These days a lot of people rice out their Civics with some rumble lol.
I EL sounds like rally, not rice lol
Don’t really care for the sound of that exhaust, I’ve heard so many better sounding systems for the sti
what do you have that gives you so much turbo noise through the exhaust when you rev it
Is it possible to put a UEL Lenght Header on a 1.6 Subaru Levorg ?
If you can find one for a NA motor. It would probably be hard to find one for the 1.6
@@ThreeBoltBilly Does it for the 2.0 Levorg ?
@@MrTheurucan I have a 2.0 but it's turbo. They are easy to find for turbo models.
@@ThreeBoltBilly and what is e NA Motor ? Sorry...I have not so experience in that..
@@MrTheurucan Do you have the 2.0 Levorg or the 1.6?
will .......tomei unequal length...... make a big difference over stock unequal length ..........
With a tune, should make more power.
ELH!!!
Agreed :)
I have equal length headers on my wrx I have faster response then my unequal length and dino tuned 300hp 350tq
Tomei EL on my 2007 STi
Is the boxer growl still there bro ,I mean does the car still soumds mean and aggresive and like a flat 4 subie? (Please respond)
@@alexortega714 ciao,io su Subaru Wrx Sti 2011 uso TOMEI UNEQUAL EXPREME. il suono è veramente rumble. Tomei EL invece è più piatto/ Hi for my Subaru WRX STI use TOMEI EXPREME UNEQUAL. the sound is very rumble. Tomei EL is more flat. Ciao!
I wanna know what that wing is
Rumble forever
What turbo are you running on your ELH car?
If it sounds like a helicopter, it's completely fine.
Rumble all day long!!
equal lengths, more unique im running a similar setup.
Definitely can agree to this.
does unequal headers works rumble on ej16?
Am I the only one that hates the Subaru rumble lmao. I can’t wait to get rid of my UEL’s
just buy an evo if you don't want rumble
its what makes a subaru a subaru
Is the black one catless ?
So much smoke. Good bye headgasket
Rumble is as much of rice as the El headers sound
What lipkit is that?
rumble is super rice to everyone except Subaru fans
ELH
all i hear is the wastegate
Equal headers are crap for these.
Rumble brus
3:15 Hauling a** in Mexico I see
Was doing under the speed limit ;)
Unequal by far
