Subaru rumble is as Rotary Brap Brap Brap Iconic sounds we love ❤️🔥🔥

[@EJ20WRX]

Unequal-Length rumble all day.

[@mikeyo1O1]

I'll do ya one better. Unequal, straight pipe all the way to the ass. My car can be so obnoxious when I want it to.

[@SkellerART]

Much like a Volcano, it rumbles right before it BLOWS

[@user-nu7gj7rw6j]

Alright that was pretty funny

This is a Subaru joke I can get behind. Unique and actually funny. 👍👍

Cries in blown turbo

[@jamesbunney3887]

Ffs😂😂

[@ranran2218]

It's because of the unequal length headers. I'd also like to add the ej series engines help produce the iconic sound also. If you put an unequal length header on the fa20 wrx or the fa24 wrx it won't really produce the same rumble. It's barely distinct. But put an equal length header on an ej wrx/sti and you can still hear that rumble slightly.

[@josephwright8752]

the fa24 takes well to JDMuscles UEL headers with a single exit exhaust

[@ranran2218]

@josephwright8752 it sounds decent but the rumble Is barely there. It's just not the same as an ej wrx/sti with unequal length headers.

[@Mik3Mcflyy]

It’s music to our ears. Regardless of what your opinion is on Subaru, the “Rumble” is unique and rare and was meant on “purpose” which makes it more unique.

[@Datboi_Mo]

I wonder if Subarus talk about Alex as much as Alex talks about Subarus.

[@06STi]

But the Subaru 3.0 h6 engines heads were actually designed in part by Porsche. And with a manual transmission and proper exhaust sound very similar to that of a Porsche

[@gordythecreator]

Between ridges in Appalachia was my apartment's location. Every morning I enjoyed the NOISE of blow-off valve & Rumblings of that WRX's shifting to work between the narrow S-Curves

[@travdripdrip382]

The rumble is cool. I've actually thought of buying an unequal length header for my NB Miata

[@sparky_sipaintball705]

I own a Subaru Impreza Spec C import hatchback it is cooler than a polar bears backside I like equal length headers. Great video.

[@Kaihl]

My 06 first owned still owned forester xt

[@luisloera1309]

what also plays a roll in there rumble is there firing order is helps with there exhaust notes

[@2LoneAngels]

I've got the tomei uel on my 2016 fr-s and I wouldn't trade it for anything it sounds so good

[@jpace9004]

I get right around 400hp, 393.7 on the mustang. I have to say the Tomei equal length, Grimmspeed bb500, IBR flex fuel, IAG 550 short block, and GFB hybrid bpv sound amazing. Probablly also helps it was JR Tuned, by Shift Fast in SC.

[@mikeyo1O1]

I'm rockin around 340 on my franken-sub. You can't throw a rock and not hit a wrx or sti where I live. They all sound so quiet. Check out my short, there's only 2. The other one is pretty cool too.

[@johnc.6976]

I got my tune at shift fast too. Im still not too sure if JR did the tuning or the owner?? Lol if it was the owner, he was not having a good day and only did 2 passes on my session. It was done nov.2022

[@CarimboHanky]

UEL ♥️ the subie rumble is life

[@itsaero24]

This is like MOSTLY true. Porsche and Subaru use different crank geometry (different stroke patterns), which also contributes in part to the sound. hence why the FA and Porsche's boxter (both ELH Turbo 4 cyl horizontally opposed engines) sound similar but distinguishably different. I agree though headers most of the rumble :)

[@albegt98]

i love boxer sound 😍👍💪

[@monstershayne]

Not all Subs come with UELs. WRX s come with EL and the STIs come with UEL. BRZ/FRS/86 come with EL but a lot of people go UEL to get the rumble along with a tune to help the torque curve

[@MrBudderTacoMBT]

WRXs before 2015 all have UELs. Only the FA engines got ELs

[@monstershayne]

@@MrBudderTacoMBT the more I learn, thanks

[@gustomassini407]

so how do you get the rumble when it already comes with factory UEL headers? ive got a forester 07 but it doesnt have the rumble even with an aftermarket exhaust

[@MrBudderTacoMBT]

@@gustomassini407 While technically a UEL, the headers on your forester are a lot closer to EL than those found on WRX and STI models. Sadly, it just doesnt have the same potential from the factory.

[@robdoggaming5161]

Is it ture if you swap out the EL header for a UEL header will it prematurity wear out the twin scroll turbo on the 2015+ WRX's ???

[@TheFlash087]

Yes, don't do it

[@dantheman1689]

I wonder if anyone has done a “side by side” test on two identical new Subi’s but one had ELH and the other didn’t to see if either encountered any issues first regardless of the swap.

[@ThePokeru]

I love my 13 wide body sedan. Rumble on my friends

[@blurelloh614]

I'm keeping my wrx on unequal length if it gets the rumble going 😂. Half decision to buy the car was on sound

[@jaron95]

You can find videos on here of Hondas with unequal length headers and they got that rumble too. Sounds like a WRX but you look and it's a fuckin Accord. 💀

[@liudxdx]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@EvoBeard]

Mazdaspeed/MPS also have UELH, they also have a lovely little warble when paired with a nice exhaust, though nowhere near the legendary Scoob with a good exhaust. My 3 MPS sounded more Scoob than my mates stock VA STI. 😂

[@hectorzambrano4092]

There’s still an opportunity for Gran Turismo and Forza to add these EL and UEL header options to change the sounds, it would be great tbh.

funny at 1:58 you are showing headers for a n/a subaru

[@aku2dimensional]

I don't know nothing about rumble but when I fire up my Outback with a broken muffler joint it sounds like a 366 BlueBird school bus.

[@aznb0iyz2]

can we put uneven headers on all engines. I wanna hear a RB bap bap bap and rumble

[@StringGreens2]

UEL...if it wasnt for americas strict emmission laws we wouldnt have the rumble in the jungle.

[@stevegonzales527]

Because they’re ready to blow up😂

[@j20sti]

Where my UEL GANG

[@BushidoPhoto]

I like both sounds, but I went with equal length headers and a tune on my 2019 STI. It sounds great!

[@hatefunwrx]

Keeping mine unequal

[@EnomesSkate]

fun fact any 4cly with UEL headers rumble

[@hellaflushhonda]

So would unequal length headers sound pretty cool on other car?

[@user-wv4bn6gj4r]

Hey guys, I got a 2000 Outback 2.5L with 5 speed. Sounds cool for the way it is but I wanna make it rumble really good with out being a total douche bag. What would be better for N/A equal length or un equal length? I got a Magniflow Rumble Muffler for it. Thanks- w

[@Eddie-vi9om]

Why do all subi drivers granny shift when racing?

[@joshbates6274]

Why do people act like double clutching is actually the best thing ever? Ever wondered why professional race drivers don't do it 9 times out of 10? Also subbie has what we call rev hang to counter the need to double clutch if u just shift quicker, so many dumbass's mod it out tho cuz they think its dumb and double shifting better. As for full race builds, they should be using manual sequential or its not a full race build soooo...

[@adroitcrow]

Uneven headers, easy

[@matthewbungard3048]

[@jamesbunney3887]

Is a Subaru really a Subaru if it doesn’t rumble?

[@Craiggg12345]

My STI with killer b equal headers sounds amazing.

Why do we need ANOTHER video on why Subarus rumble. Theres like 100+ videos on KZbin.

[@andrew176]

But here you are 🤪 😂

[@imacahguy]

Hot take, subaru should have built a stronger normal inline motor decades ago and just built unequal length headers to get all of the noise people are in love with, while eliminating the fact that Subarus sre the laughing stock kf the car work known for being horrendously unreliable.

[@jeffrey3498]

Rumble or fart?

[@rite2beararms]

I guess it depends on how many beers you had with those hot wings.

[@jeffrey3498]

@@rite2beararms True, but a four cylinder engine doesn't rumble. 😃👍

[@rite2beararms]

@jeffrey3498 Oh cmon now old duffer. The little 4 bangers are fun too, if you give them a chance. The boxers they speak of do have a unique exhaust tone, and it's really the only way I ever considered one over all the years of V8 mills I've owned. Does it blow everything away? Absolutely not. It just surprises the unaware, and that makes it fun.

[@jeffrey3498]

@@rite2beararms I have a 2023 Crosstrek Premium 6 speed manual, and I love it, but I also have a long history with V8 engines, mostly GM LS engines. As much as I love my Boxer engine, FB20D, and I love the sound when I rev it through the gears, it definitely doesn't rumble. It does growl a little though. I was just having a little fun with the fart comment. More or less 🤣

[@787blah]

⁠@@jeffrey3498that’s a fa not a ej. They sound different. Throw equal length headers on that crosstrek and it has a rumble. Boxer 4s don’t sound like regular inline 4s

[@Spextre]

Let me save all of you time and say this. Unequal Length headers, for the most part. Also, equal length is much healthier for the engine and just sounds better imo. Rumble is overdone. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6DEaIWDfbmqm6ssi=uiXXox9LZgTbQu3K

[@MTNorville]

UEL headers are for stock EJs, posers and people who can afford to build motors around inefficient parts.

[@Craiggg12345]

Love my killer b headers.
