The unequal length headers defiantly sound better but you go equal length to help with cylinder cooling and overall performance, generally speaking from a daily/street application going equal length is unnecessary for the little bit of power change but In a true high power racing scenario equal length is needed

@@domenicstobie2163 thanks for that detail, as I would like to convert my FR-S to UEL for sound alone, but am on the fence because of heat and power. Glad to know it makes little difference if I'm not going for a super race-ready setup, which I'm not

@Bryan Liguori I just did a little bit of research and for the brz and frs platform going uel May lead to a small decrease in power buuut it’s very popular to switch to uel for the rumble and the power loss can easily be corrected with an off the shelf tune from Cobb or even getting a pro tune to get more power but for the most part it shouldn’t be a huge change in power and if heat is something you’re noticing an exhaust heat wrap might be something to think about, at the end of the day just worry about what’s going to make you more excited and happy with your car because there is always ways to prevent and correct the “faults” if that makes any sense
i hate to stay i lovee the unequal length headers, just more deep and beautiful and shit

so the equal length headers make it sound like an evo...

the whole point of a Subaru to me has always been the unequal sound. the equal header just makes it sound like any other 4cyl out there. very first mod I did to my 86 was put the unequal header so I could hear the Subaru rumble
By far one of the best comparison videos I've ever seen
This was probably the most well put together comparison video I've seen.
Great comparison video. Just learning about what headers have to do with exhaust sound - I thought the "Subie burble" was mainly because it's a flat-4, but with the equal-lengths it sound a lot like an inline-4. This video is a model for how exhaust sound comparisons should go.

this has to be the best comparison vid I have ever seen on KZread Great job!
This has to be the best equal vs none equal vid I have ever watched. Thanks for putting this together!
One of the best exhaust comparisons hands down, thank you and great job!
great comparison! I like how you split it it up, definitely made it much easier to hear the difference. and from the looks of it, you made some noticeable gains in power.
this manifold comparison actually taught me something new today! fantastic video!
Equal length sounds so much better! Unequal makes it sound broken, with a misfire.
dude I LOVE your editing. Seriously, this is how all comparison videos need to be
Came to leave my thank you's for making a nice comparison vid and was made even more happy by seeing others leaving their appreciation as well. nice vid man, thanks!
This video is exactly what I needed, especially the speed run at the end!! Def getting EL headers, not only for the sound but also the performance advantages. I'm running the stock headers with 3" piping all the way down and the low-end rumble shakes everything in the 200m radius when I start it in the morning :/
UNEQUAL FOR LIFE SUBIE!!
Badass video, I commend you for the forwardness and absent of some dude that like hearing his own voice. Love it need more like it
both sound amazing love the volume and tone in cab on the equal length header for sure but i still cant get over that un equal length header sound great video and great quality you sir deserve the like im about to give
Best comparison video ever. You're the man, and I'm sticking with UEL. Thanks bro
Best comparison video. High quality, good audio, good editing. Perfection. And the car sounds amazing
Thank you for this... I've been trying to figure out what its going to sound like for months...
High quality comparison videos like this are so rare. Thanks!
man that equal sounds good on that pull in the end, the sound of CFM
possibly the BEST comparison anyone looking could ever ask for. great sound quality. thanks!
Ohhh but the equal length sounds wayyy better when you are gunning it under load!

ap2pat yea true but it also is a stock unequal, if it was a performance unequal that was catless , it would sound wayy betters like my unequals sound nothing like that cause I have a performance one. And if sounds amazing when pulling
Awesome comparison vid. This is how all comp videos should be. Thank you for your time.
Best exhaust comparison video I found
Dont stop making comparison videos you bloody legend!
Best comparison video ive ever seen. Great job!
Sounds good both ways, mad props on best exhaust comp video iv"e seen
Really well done video man! Awesome stuff. Thanks.
I love the rumble but I don't hate the equal lengths as much as thought I would. Someday down the line when my mods get as far as yours I'll probably do the same. Thanks for another good video Ben.
Best exhaust comparison video I've seen/heard.
Unequal headers sounds way better. That's the traditional Subaru sound.

Carboncrossroads actually it’s not. UEL’s weren’t introduced until the 90’s, and real WRC cars have never used UEL’s due to there inefficiency. JDM WRX’s and STi’s haven’t had UEL’s since 2003....

VIDEO WAS VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER THANK YOU!!
Equal length gives me track vibes. Since most boxer engines are running equal length in racing due to their better top end power. Then the subie rumble ones give me street car vibes. Your typical bolt on, tune with some clean wheels kind of build. To each their own but I like how the equal length almost sounds like a k series Honda screaming at 8000rpm down a straight.
this is the GREATEST comparison video i have ever seen!!!! well done man! Also love the sound .... been thinking about switching over to Equal lenght headers... still has that subi sound but more even. Also just wanted to say ur car is super clean i love it. OTS tune or custom?
that video, that car, those sounds... music to my ear ❤
Hand down one of the best comparisons
LIKE everyone else said best comparison ever finally some one shows before and after seconds apart. ITs perfect and a nice sound thing is you need to hear it in person its a lot diffrent
Nice quality well put together video. I dig the EL
they both sound sick in their own way. love them both.
I have a 2011 STI sedan with a downpipe and single exit catback exhaust and my Subie it’s kinda loud. I’ll always run UEL because of the sound. That Subie rumble is second to none. I love to hear my car from the outside because when you’re always driving it, you get the internal sound. Once you hear your car from the outside, it is the best thing ever.
What a lovely Straight forward informative video. Thanks, Subscribed.
Awesome vid showing the comparison
Thats is the new standarts for comparisons videos
The EL sounds awesome during the pull.
this is very well done, best i've seen !
Best header comparison vid on KZread imo.
Really good video dude.
Great video. You thought of everything editing wise. Really helpful. Thank you. Did you retune after mounting the EL headers? And was there a noticeable boost in power?
They both sound so good
great video. and wonderful comparison
Nicely done video. This is rare to see direct comparisons for automotive hardware. The debate between equal and unequal length on Subarus is eternal, but this provides a great side by side view of the options. Nicely done. Personal preference: equal length, but I like the smoother sound. Mind you I'm saying this as a guy with a stock unequal length header. I think tuned has a more professional perception to it as do the power gains from better choices(unequal or equal).
the equal length removes the subaru sound and makes it sound like a Silvia. nothing wrong with that but the subaru sound is unique and should be preserved for everyones enjoyment.

Performance, reliability and efficiency beat sound out in any rational car enthusiasts mind. Which is why fast subies always have EL’s. Plus with EL’s the car runs better and helps lessen the chance of ringland failure
Great job on the comparison
interesting. totally like the unequals better, as it emphasizes the uniqueness of the boxer motor, but the editing of the comparisons is really really great, bravo for a good comparison video
Great video man!!!
Awesome comparison!
amazing sound comparison!!! great video
thanks for editing how you did cause i wanted to hear it again and was about to restart it. haha [8]
word dude. that sound is part of what makes subarus so cool.
Holy crap I never thought I would say it but those Ividia headers sound amazing
inside cabin with the EL sounds sick
Both sound amazing
very nice video the best one i have seen by far. exactly what i was looking for. i have the Ti-C turbo back catless on my 06 wrx and was looking a buying some headers for my next mod. i am sold on the Invidia Equal Length Race Header now. i see that you have the Invidia Catless Downpipe. I am running the Greddy down pipe i hope the sound quality will be the same as yours. Very nice video.
thanks, this is a great rapid-fire comparison. am considering the Invidia Race ELH upgrade from stock.
Well done with this video. Fantastic
Quick and to the point without a bunch of opinionated narrator talk no one cares to hear... PERFECT
good job. thank you. lets see some more before and after vids!!
Nice video. The equal length sounds so much smoother, and rawr .
That sounds awesome with the EL headers.
I'm impressed, indeed this was a good comparison, very well done.
Great video, good comparison
@Billy Hudson ... you are right its actually the firing order of the cylinders coupled with the way the headers were made that makes the rumble.
great comparison video
Great video!!
I like the unequal headers but I have to say with the equal lengths it sounds SO DAMN SMOOTH.
UEL all day! I just like the boxer rumble. I do like the sound of the EL when opened up tho! Nice Whip bro!
Interesting comparison. Well done too.
ELH FTW! Sounds badass and spools up fast.
I wonder what else was done to that car. It sounded fraggin' awesome with everything, especially at the end. Nice video.
I run some equal length headers on my 1.8t a4 and I can say that the performance difference here is really what happened. And my stock manifold wasn't even that "unequal". Gotta say tho, both my car and this one sound soooo much more aggressive and sporty than they did with the stock pipes
Equal length sounds badass in the high RPM
Best comparison video ever. THATS HOW YOU COMPARE
Very good video comparison! Nothing like the unequal length sound, but equal length is definitely worth the extra power
Sounds good but I love the look of the quad tips.
Great comparison vid, like others have said. I didn't notice any difference in acceleration in the pulls but you can definitely hear the difference.

Nice comparison, very well done. As for the sound, I think I would prefer the stock headers.
yeah, nice video comparison. I think I like unequal sound better, but when you were getting on the throttle with the equal length headers it sounded pretty damn good. my only criticism would be I think the dual pipes look best as the rear bumper cover is made for dual pipes, but I know that there are a lot of performance exhausts for the 2008+ models that use a single exhaust for better flow so its definitely understandable. Nice lookin WRX all around though man.
Nice vid!
Marvelous!!!..........my flat 6 Outback needs unequals!
cant choose both sounds really good
