Opinions on equal length headers
Just posting this thread to hear what people have to say about the way their equal length headers sound. I have recently purchased a set and can't hear them till the engine gets fired up in around a weeks time. I'm worried the car will sound cheap haha. Seen a couple of youtube vids with WRX's running them but it would be good to hear first hand from people that are running them. I personally love the unique sound of the WRX but am willing to sacrifice the sound for performance gains.

the more i hear it, the more i hate the sound of boxer rumble (its off beat and obnoxious), and i would swap it for the sound of crisp headers any day.
providing you have a decent exhaust to carry the note that is.

Good to hear, would you recommend heat wrapping them? My 3" exhaust is a mongrel 3" system with a Trust Cannon muffler. Can only hope it has a nasty growl when project is complete.

Can't tell you till the 21st. Just be turning the stereo up if I don't like it I guess.
I've gone ceramic coating but doing one of them seems to be the go.

competition and industrial coatings in kelmscott.
I had my headers (including up pipes (twin scroll)), turbine housing and heat shield coated... I think it was somewhere around $550-600.

Not exactly cheap is it, I'll look into the cost of heat wrap.

Get them coated and wrapped if u can.
Equal length headers have the unusual race car sound. The car is also quieter until u stomp on it which is good for not creating any attention
