2015 Subaru WRX with Tomei UEL Header sound test | 2 different exhaust test | Cinematic video

Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in. I have partnered up with Forged Projects to bring a video showing what the Tomei UEL Header sounds like with 2 different exhaust setups.
The first setup is the Nameless catback exhaust with the Invidia J catless downpipe. We show you idle, revving and drive by.
The second setup is with a Tomei Extreme titanium single exit exhaust.
We will be making a part 2 of this video with some other brand exhaust to give you an idea of how it will sound.
If you are in the market for these headers or any parts for your vehicle make sure to go check out
WWW.Forgedprojects.COM as they carry all these parts and more!

The dual exit sounds so much better. I want the UEL headers so bad. Don't even care for the power loss, the sound is what I want!

[@SlavaBasatski]

its so loud obnoxious and in your face I LOVE IT

[@Hellblaue210]

it really does add the character to the car. I guess subarus really need the UEL Headers to be a real subi

[@balance5216]

Fuck the slight horse power loss, give me the subie rumble back 😭

[@503adventures7]

Facts

[@alexfromia4511]

definitely slower

[@ranran2218]

It's well over 30hp plus it's just super inefficient because the car is a twin scroll setup so and unequal length setup may sound good but thats the only positive. It hurts performance across the board.

[@balance5216]

@@alexfromia4511 undoubtedly. My stage 2 straight pipe pulls on STIs easily, swapping headers would probably make it a lot closer of a race

that first exhaust sounded soo good.

[@jalberto181]

I thought I would like to the tome exhaust better. But honestly I like the first one.

[@MavicHeroFilms]

The tomei was extra loud

[@foraday1]

I think that wraspy sound comes from the catless j-pipe / downpipe combo'd with. Still wondering if someone just has the Tomei UEL with Tomei cat back would sound like on a a FA. ( More rumble, less rattle can) ?

[@foraday1]

Still the best sounding so far!! Nice set up man!!

[@whatiwant8898]

@@foraday1 the Tomei will naturally sound like that because of it being Titanium. Titanium always adds a very tinny sound to an exhaust.

Thanks for your service and thanks for the sound clips. Ever think of running a dry sump pump on your uel setup? I have a 14 STi and wishing to go EL but the dry sump oil pump only fits UEL currently.

Thanks bro. Appreciate the love. Sorry to say…my wife said no. Lol 👊🏼🤣

[@MofosRealReviews]

This is what a Subaru is supposed to sound like!!! The fact they made these with ELH instead and made them sound like civics just baffles me

[@thisjustanother]

because with a twin scroll turbo, theh ELH has better performance than an UEL

[@sbounty3]

Because it’s not just for sound… Much better performance from an EL header.

[@kdubb81]

OMG that sounds awesome!

[@certixfy]

I think its better to get a wrx and change the headers to uel and add a tomei exhaust to make it sound like an sti

[@noaheldridge2604]

Tbh it sounds great, but it sounds slower because of the uel... Not hating, this is coming from a stage 1 tune with just an axle back exhaust but it sounds like its holding itself back hardcore

[@nelsonalvarez556]

Awesome setup! Also what is your intro and outro music?

[@jamesg8246]

I feel like they would both sound better with a resonator, it's pretty raspy.

[@journeyyodm6564]

it’s the microphone

[@jamesg8246]

@@journeyyodm6564 Having my own wrx and having had exhaust with and without a resonator, I'd disagree. Resonator made it waaay deeper, killed drone and got rid of the rice rasp.

Please make a video of this setup: Tomei UEL header and up pipe, nvidia Catless DP and stock exhaust!!!

[@tedwong6790]

Nice video ChairForce

[@jz5980]

Forgive me, but just general question. My understanding was the FA20 had equal length headers for the twin scroll turbo... was that replaced as well or, and I ask this jokingly, are we just throwing a middle finger to subaru engineers and getting back the boxer rumble?

[@ranran2218]

The only thing they swapped was the headers. The stock equal length headers for the tomei unequal length headers

[@heyitzender3863]

Sounds great, is it just the Tomei and headers? or is there an aftermarket downpipe?

[@Somber.Killer]

@@fixflickss you lose any benefit for sound, nothing much to say more

[@ranran2218]

@@midnight_gospel Graham at boosted performance did a tune on these with subi speed and all they changed was unequal length to the grimmspeed equal length and the tomei unequal length lost almost 40hp and some torque and was a bit slower to build boost. The sound is nice but it hurts performance.

They actually aren’t bad for the car, we’ve had the headers installed on one of the forged projects shop cars for a little over 15k miles and no issues have come up, and the car is full bolt on e-85 tuned making 400+ to the wheels.

Any issues with these? I’m really considering them even tho it doesn’t make sense with the twin scroll

[@Stillsmatic]

No issues, you do lose a little bit of torque due to the nature of them being in equal length. But the lower torque is actually a benefit as high torque on The fa20 is what puts rods through the block.
