2012 Subaru WRX STi - P.O.V Drive and Exhaust Sound

With the roads being much quieter lately, I decided to do a Saturday afternoon solo cruise to a petrol station on the other side of the city... because why not? I needed to fill up my 2012 Subaru WRX STi, and figured I'd make an adventure out of it, with some GoPro clips along the way. There's no extra audio or music overlaid - just variations between the in car view and external exhaust view.
The car is entirely stock, with the exception of a HKS SSQV4 blow off valve. Other than that, nothing else has been changed from factory.
Note: since I was on public roads, there's no overly crazy driving here. Just a few short pulls and exhaust tone for your enjoyment.

I have sti full stock and i cant hear the turbo when shift

[@GarethBargate]

In the description it's mentioned the car has a HKS blow off valve, which makes the shift noise you're talking about

Hi do i need a tune after installing the bov?

[@sentinelprimegroup]

South Africa???🙏🙏

[@GarethBargate]

You're 100% correct

[@AHMEDMOOSAJI]

An exhaust will do it well

[@GarethBargate]

True...it would. I'm planning on selling this one soon though, so no point in modifying it.
However, will be making another one of these videos when lockdown is done - with a 2004 STi that has a full exhaust and screamer pipe, so stay tuned for that.
