    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

    @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

    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.

    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).

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.
