I'm looking to get an exhaust that is as close to a wrx sti sound as I can get and was wondering which one that would be. I heard that the perrin sounds somewhat like it. Is the perrin exhaust really that loud and obnoxious if i was to drive it easy and shift early would i be fine and not annoyed and get pulled over all the time lol.

That sound doesn't come from an exhaust it comes from having a non equal length turbo manifold. Subaru have 2 really long runners and 2 really short ones

it has nothing to do with their boxer engine. Have you ever heard a sti with a equal length turbo mani? sounds just like any other car.

I thought the subaru sound was from the high compression ratio

you would have to get it custom made and it would look stupid in the engine bay lol
nope it's just from a poor manifold design

Msp that sounds nice, im starting to lean towards a custom exhaust with a possibly cat welded in and a nice muffler, how much did all that come out to? and where do you think I could get some custom headers built? Just any shop local to me? Its alright if the engine bay doesn't look perfect, live up in Maine so I can't keep it clean anyway lol

a good quality custom turbo manifold will proabably run you around 1k as far as the exhaust goes it depends on what it's made out of and who does the work
After owning 3 subarus, I can tell you that (as posted above) the sound is from the unequal length manifold. Sounds wicked once opened up if the stock turbo manifold is retained, or an unequal length header is fitted. EL manifolds/headers don't sound at all similar. A common n/a upgrade is to throw on the UEL's for the sound, since they are factory fitted with equal length manifolds.

I always thought it was the boxer engine style, so do you guys think I could get a custom uel exhaust manifold made and get an exhaust and get a Subaru sound from my msp? I'd love to get that sound if I could! And would I need anything else or just the uel exhaust manifold.
