Makes it sound mean
The N/A Subies have EL headers, so they tend to lose some of the boxer rumble.

yeah, no more inline 4 sound. the "burble" or "rumble" is what I was going for.

That's the funniest thing I've seen here all week! LMAFO
FWIW, I think that's a cool idea to get the "boxer rumble".

I watch your videos and I keep expecting to hear the sound of footsteps and snatching up your camera.... Guess you just think that way after living in Portland for a while.

Ahh, I know I saw that pic somewhere before. It actually looks like you ruined a pretty good design
But, you removed a cat in the process. You may have actually lowered performance though with all that exhaust bumping into itself due to the non-equal length headers.
But hey, if your happy thats all that matters.

^i was thinking the same.Performance improvement is quite unlikely,although it sounds nice.Im wondering why there is one pipe from one side,and the other side has two pipes crossing over?

you can't really tell, but both sides have each port separated from the other for some distance before they join. the only reason it looks like one side is joined before they all meet up is because they are in a stcked configuration rather than the other side which they intertwine.

because it's a small engine that filters my oil.

so the boob working at jiffy lube knows that it goes on an engine and its not an air filter.

Oh burn!!! I worked at my local one for three years. It didn't hurt that one of my best friends is the manager there. I learned quite a bit about a large span of vehicles in a short time. Like which cars to NEVER buy because they constantly rolled in with the same issues & leaks no matter who the driver was.

That is definitely a weird cross-over design for sure.
