Because it doesn't have a turbo, it won't sound like a WRX/STI. The whole reason a WRX/STI sounds like it does is the unequal length exhaust because of the turbo setup.

The Subaru version is N/A just like the FR-S.

Anyhow, can't wait till 2012 to go test drive this.


The JDM GT86 has a brochure with modded ones on it.

I wouldn't trust any supercharger they throw at this car with the catastrophe that was the tC.

The supercharger used in the tC was a HORRIBLE design. If they used a true roots style charger there wouldn't be any problems.

Youtube a Subaru with equal length and unequal length headers. The equal length will make the car sound like a Honda. The Boxer motor design does aid in the sound and design requiring unequal headers, but not the main reason as to why.
