    I'm sold. Killer B ELH for me also. Still the hint of the rumble which we all love. I would also do it firstly for reliability and minimising heat and stress on the motor. With the added throttle response you noticed, I'm sold! Been waiting all week for your video. Thanks so much and the planning involved! Much appreciated 👍

    Off topic, but I like the cinematography, pace, and presentation style of your videos. None of that overly loud, fake enthusiasm, camera-pointed-in-face vlogging nonsense that a lot of other automotive TH-camrs espouse. That's precisely why I'm subscribed to your channel, and watch and like every video. Please don't ever feel that you have to change to appeal to the masses. Keep up the great content. I'm looking forward to hearing what difference the resonated mid-pipe makes. Cheers from halfway across the globe.

    UEL headers is by far the best soundings on ejs for sure, having heard equals in person wide open it's just not the same imo. But when going for big power sacrifices will made, that's why I am keeping mine lower because I love the rumble so much.

    I definitely prefer the UEL. I just upgraded to the Invidia Q300 on my STi - I prefer the deeper rumble over stock... and, to me, the rumble is better than music.

    I was in the same position when I did my header upgrade to my 08 sti. Originally I bought a set of aftermarket UEL headers, but my tuner convinced me to change it to EL. Honestly, the UEL of course sounds cooler, but you could really feel the difference in power with EL. You can feel the car not struggle as much. EL all the way!

  • @tonyregalado7281
    @tonyregalado7281 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Both sound great, but it really depends on the EL headers your choose because some sound meh. A good set of EL headers on the ej has a different sound to it versus other 4 cylinders IMO... Still has that deeper subaru tone. Personally, I think the UEL sounds "cooler" but it also sounds inefficient, because it is. The EL sounds more aggressive and refined. My recommendation, if you're going for big power, spool and want your engine to run as good(safe) as possible, EL all day. I do love that Subaru UEL rumble, though.

  • @MiguelSevilla

    I am biased as a DIT FA WRX man. I will not lie though I enjoy the ULH rumble but not at the cost of longevity. I Iove the sound of my exhaust and ELH set up and this ELH EJ set up more or less duplicates it. Welcome to the ELH alumni 👨‍🎓 . It has a select and small group of EJ members but all converts are welcomed 🤣 with open arms 💪💪.

      Always recommend the cyl 4 cooling mod either way

    Im curious does switching to elh solve the problem with cyl 4 or is it still smart to have the cooling mod? Curious if thats a header problem or just a coolant problem bc of the ej design?

    • @Autofreakgarage
      @Autofreakgarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Both. Cyl 4 doesn’t get enough cooling to begin with so the mod is definitely worthwhile. The stock uel headers produce a ton of heat on that 2 and 4 side of the motor and causes 4 to wear prematurely. I’d advise to do both if you want to keep the motor happy and healthy.

    Can you still hear the induction noises after these upgrades? headers+downpipe?

      Induction and turbo noises are wayyyy more audible than before.

    Another awesome video. Love your car still but don't like the sound personally. Has more of a Evo sound now than STI. Not getting those headers for sure.

    I’ve always preferred UEL headers. If I ever go high horse power I will go with EL headers

    Compared to an m3 do you prefer this car as far as handling

    • @Autofreakgarage
      @Autofreakgarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Comparing apples to oranges. M3 overall handles way better out of the box, but it’s on par with everything I’ve done suspension wise at this point.

    Uel is for sure a more subaru sound. But el sounds cool to. Kinda has more of that rally rasp.

    I would say uel even tho I'm on el also . But besides that I follow your page because your car is sooooooo clean I love it . Only thing I would do is rain guards . Do you still like the idoing radio ? Ps even your motor shines lol
