It's because of the unequal length headers. I'd also like to add the ej series engines help produce the iconic sound also. If you put an unequal length header on the fa20 wrx or the fa24 wrx it won't really produce the same rumble. It's barely distinct. But put an equal length header on an ej wrx/sti and you can still hear that rumble slightly.
It’s music to our ears. Regardless of what your opinion is on Subaru, the “Rumble” is unique and rare and was meant on “purpose” which makes it more unique.
But the Subaru 3.0 h6 engines heads were actually designed in part by Porsche. And with a manual transmission and proper exhaust sound very similar to that of a Porsche
Between ridges in Appalachia was my apartment's location. Every morning I enjoyed the NOISE of blow-off valve & Rumblings of that WRX's shifting to work between the narrow S-Curves
I get right around 400hp, 393.7 on the mustang. I have to say the Tomei equal length, Grimmspeed bb500, IBR flex fuel, IAG 550 short block, and GFB hybrid bpv sound amazing. Probablly also helps it was JR Tuned, by Shift Fast in SC.
I'm rockin around 340 on my franken-sub. You can't throw a rock and not hit a wrx or sti where I live. They all sound so quiet. Check out my short, there's only 2. The other one is pretty cool too.
I got my tune at shift fast too. Im still not too sure if JR did the tuning or the owner?? Lol if it was the owner, he was not having a good day and only did 2 passes on my session. It was done nov.2022
Not all Subs come with UELs. WRX s come with EL and the STIs come with UEL. BRZ/FRS/86 come with EL but a lot of people go UEL to get the rumble along with a tune to help the torque curve
so how do you get the rumble when it already comes with factory UEL headers? ive got a forester 07 but it doesnt have the rumble even with an aftermarket exhaust
@@gustomassini407 While technically a UEL, the headers on your forester are a lot closer to EL than those found on WRX and STI models. Sadly, it just doesnt have the same potential from the factory.
This is like MOSTLY true. Porsche and Subaru use different crank geometry (different stroke patterns), which also contributes in part to the sound. hence why the FA and Porsche's boxter (both ELH Turbo 4 cyl horizontally opposed engines) sound similar but distinguishably different. I agree though headers most of the rumble :)
I am looking to buy a stock, Japanese STI with equal headers. One thing I've noticed immediately was how tame it sounded until the turbo kicked in. Do you think adding un-equal manifold without touching the stock STI exhaust would somewhat bring up the sound?
You can find videos on here of Hondas with unequal length headers and they got that rumble too. Sounds like a WRX but you look and it's a fuckin Accord. 💀
Mazdaspeed/MPS also have UELH, they also have a lovely little warble when paired with a nice exhaust, though nowhere near the legendary Scoob with a good exhaust. My 3 MPS sounded more Scoob than my mates stock VA STI. 😂
I wonder if anyone has done a “side by side” test on two identical new Subi’s but one had ELH and the other didn’t to see if either encountered any issues first regardless of the swap.
Hey guys, I got a 2000 Outback 2.5L with 5 speed. Sounds cool for the way it is but I wanna make it rumble really good with out being a total douche bag. What would be better for N/A equal length or un equal length? I got a Magniflow Rumble Muffler for it. Thanks- w
Why do people act like double clutching is actually the best thing ever? Ever wondered why professional race drivers don't do it 9 times out of 10? Also subbie has what we call rev hang to counter the need to double clutch if u just shift quicker, so many dumbass's mod it out tho cuz they think its dumb and double shifting better. As for full race builds, they should be using manual sequential or its not a full race build soooo...
Hot take, subaru should have built a stronger normal inline motor decades ago and just built unequal length headers to get all of the noise people are in love with, while eliminating the fact that Subarus sre the laughing stock kf the car work known for being horrendously unreliable.
Let me save all of you time and say this. Unequal Length headers, for the most part. Also, equal length is much healthier for the engine and just sounds better imo. Rumble is overdone. th-cam.com/video/5oa7RMHTweI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uiXXox9LZgTbQu3K
@jeffrey3498 Oh cmon now old duffer. The little 4 bangers are fun too, if you give them a chance. The boxers they speak of do have a unique exhaust tone, and it's really the only way I ever considered one over all the years of V8 mills I've owned. Does it blow everything away? Absolutely not. It just surprises the unaware, and that makes it fun.
@@rite2beararms I have a 2023 Crosstrek Premium 6 speed manual, and I love it, but I also have a long history with V8 engines, mostly GM LS engines. As much as I love my Boxer engine, FB20D, and I love the sound when I rev it through the gears, it definitely doesn't rumble. It does growl a little though. I was just having a little fun with the fart comment. More or less 🤣
@@jeffrey3498that’s a fa not a ej. They sound different. Throw equal length headers on that crosstrek and it has a rumble. Boxer 4s don’t sound like regular inline 4s

What do you think of the Subie rumble? If you're looking for an exhaust, we got you! Mod your car at www.martiniworks.com
Subaru rumble is as Rotary Brap Brap Brap
Iconic sounds we love ❤️🔥🔥
Unequal-Length rumble all day.
I'll do ya one better. Unequal, straight pipe all the way to the ass. My car can be so obnoxious when I want it to.
Much like a Volcano, it rumbles right before it BLOWS
Alright that was pretty funny

This is a Subaru joke I can get behind. Unique and actually funny. 👍👍
Cries in blown turbo
Ffs😂😂

the fa24 takes well to JDMuscles UEL headers with a single exit exhaust
@josephwright8752 it sounds decent but the rumble Is barely there. It's just not the same as an ej wrx/sti with unequal length headers.
@@ranran2218my 86 rumbles like crazy
@armaanhayerr you may think so but I've heard a brz with unequal length headers next to a sti and it's not the same.
@@ranran2218 hmm idk from my comparisons i feel that mine is quite similar, look at the video i posted u can hear it

Subaru rumble is the reason why I switched to Subaru in the first place
what also plays a roll in there rumble is there firing order is helps with there exhaust notes

The rumble is cool. I've actually thought of buying an unequal length header for my NB Miata
I own a Subaru Impreza Spec C import hatchback it is cooler than a polar bears backside I like equal length headers. Great video.
My 06 first owned still owned forester xt
I've got the tomei uel on my 2016 fr-s and I wouldn't trade it for anything it sounds so good

WRXs before 2015 all have UELs. Only the FA engines got ELs

There’s still an opportunity for Gran Turismo and Forza to add these EL and UEL header options to change the sounds, it would be great tbh.

Subaru things
I'm keeping my wrx on unequal length if it gets the rumble going 😂. Half decision to buy the car was on sound
I love my 13 wide body sedan. Rumble on my friends
Listen now to the song of my people, miss the rumble now I'm driving twin scroll
You can find videos on here of Hondas with unequal length headers and they got that rumble too. Sounds like a WRX but you look and it's a fuckin Accord. 💀
😂😂😂😂😂
UEL ♥️
the subie rumble is life

I like both sounds, but I went with equal length headers and a tune on my 2019 STI. It sounds great!

funny at 1:58 you are showing headers for a n/a subaru
The Only Subaru i want is a Subaru Kei Truck. A few of them don't have AC but Subaru Kei trucks do have them.
How to modify a Kei Truck Day 13 🚚 💨
UEL...if it wasnt for americas strict emmission laws we wouldnt have the rumble in the jungle.
Day 5 asking for a how to modify a 4th gen prelude
Is it ture if you swap out the EL header for a UEL header will it prematurity wear out the twin scroll turbo on the 2015+ WRX's ???
Yes, don't do it
I don't know nothing about rumble but when I fire up my Outback with a broken muffler joint it sounds like a 366 BlueBird school bus.
Subie Rumbles Rock!
i love boxer sound 😍👍💪
can we put uneven headers on all engines. I wanna hear a RB bap bap bap and rumble
fun fact any 4cly with UEL headers rumble
Because they’re ready to blow up😂
Rumble 🚗💥💨🔥
So would unequal length headers sound pretty cool on other car?

Uneven headers, easy
Uel❤
Is a Subaru really a Subaru if it doesn’t rumble?
porche arent boxer's
check firing order

First woohoo
Why do we need ANOTHER video on why Subarus rumble. Theres like 100+ videos on TH-cam.
But here you are 🤪 😂

UEL headers are for stock EJs, posers and people who can afford to build motors around inefficient parts.
Love my killer b headers.
