STi Perrin Header

[roadkillnsdp]

I cant wait to "neuter" my STI and make it sound like a high performance racecar. They only made them un-even because it was cheaper.

[TheUnseenguy]

I dont think perrin relize how little success they will have with these headers. Dont get me wrong.... for a ricer sound, its the best i've heard in a long time, but as far as subarus signature low growling tone the you can reconized a mile away... it sucks. Im staying stock with ported exhuast manifolds or just get UN-even headers.

[Destination1996]

Striperin? :DD

[iXetsuei]

Wow dude. You had what I regard as the best sounding exhaust setup you can buy for a STI, and ruined with with EL headers. What the fuck is wrong with you? How's that extra lag and unnoticeable power gain as well? Dumbass.

[jakubgt1]

@iXetsuei

Unnoticeable power gain? You really need to learn about cars before you post. Some people could careless about the boxer rumble. People do it for a quieter exhaust tone with some gains

[iXetsuei]

@jakubgt1 Okay then, show me some dyno graphs where there is more than 15whp increase (which buy the way, is the same as ported stock headers).

Oh by the way, care* less*.

[Nikabbott]

whoa did you see that awesome Honda? oh wait... jk ;)

[sabrefire999]

because i wanted to see a subaru turn to a honda ??? not

[johnsm007]

EL sounds better !

[myhomeboytj]

the perrin headers still have the subbie sound on idle. but its that low rpm where the subbie sound is lost :( not a big fan if i was to DD it, obv for racing i would put it on. but DD no way!

[TheDexxJ]

Awww man...where's that sexy subbie rumble...dang it! Oh well, stock headers it is!

[jelaten]

Before please, Subarus are the only 4 cylinders that sound really good.

[PocketDrummer]

Before:

0:19

0:31

After:

0:54

1:09

eww... you neutered it!



[PurelySad]

i would prefer that sick rumble. wrxs are unique cars. dont turn it into something that sounds like an srt-4

[bad93ex]

I am in the minority in that I really dislike the "boxer rumble" If I were to pick up an STi when the time comes this will be part of the first rounds of mods.

[AWDsome08]

Honestly, a lot of people buy subaru's because the first thing they remember ever noticing about the car was the way it had sound the first time they ever came across one. I own an STI and I'm loving the rumble tbh. But I am considering going with an EL header for better spool up of my HTA86. Just hate the fact that I would give up that rumble.

[RJ05R6]

sounds like an evo 8

[urtedex]

Sounds like a honda civic no thanks

[TheMonkee169]

sounds like my hmf quad pipe (:

[TDIAWD]

Best sounding equal I've heard.

[borbollon15]

cool



[TheWackybastard]

I've got an STI as well, and based on this video, I'd have to say that the EL's sound better than the stock header.

[BillyClark860]

It's okay guys. Equal length headers just means it's a female STi. :)

[blockfrenzydude]

congratulations, you just castrated an STi

[SubaruWRXtreme]

Sounds friggin nice !!! I would still keep the unequal length headers though but honestly anyone trying to race a WRX or STI that doesn't rumble WATCH OUT !!! It's packing serious power, we're talking full exhaust and bigger turbo here. Most serious modifications go hand in hand with equal length headers.

[OSOKViciousTheMyth]

LIESSSSSSSSS that is not a subie

[xKillerKanabisx]

come on guys, it seriously doesn't sound that bad. and it makes way better power

[cpscsoccerskillz]

Why would you want to make it sound shitty before it sounded amazing but if you want to ruin the sound of your car i guess you might as well buy a honda with a fart cannon

[DirtMonster43]

It sounds like a god dam evo!!!

[suzuki400boi]

So let me get this Straight. All "Subie" Fanboys only buy them because of the way they sound? Really? That's a fucking joke to be honest.

[lr4iNM4kerl]

Sound like my B18  :D

[TheBoostedaudi]

fantastic car man. im personally not a fan of EL headers, but if you like it, thats all that matters =)

[DavidIsACult]

oh no, you pissed off the bros!

sounds good, I like it. I hate that stupid rumble to be honest.

[TheVasquez19]

sounds like JDM, good job ! I want one !

[hydrosav2007]

I love the sound, its much better in person, I have perrin equal length headers, Perrin up pipe, and full cat less exhaust, Cobb short ram intake, sounds amazing, but it's still quieter than my old tiburon was straight piped, have videos of my STI on my page, but not trolling for views of nothing, nice car man

[Mr93z32]

Take it off now!

[RTree613]

sounds like an evo in the upper R's

[joker927]

Flagged as inappropriate.

[helloimbobsaget]

nice honda. is that a b16?

[minnionator]

amazing how different they sound! i like

[TITFCUKER]

Love it, its a damn shame people mistake the boxer growl for the sound of a header with a shitty design and poor effiiency!

[samiurrahmanshah]

Very nice gearshift at 1:47 !

[f34rthe4banger]

sounds so much better with the perrin headers, so clean and crisp.

[Tarten46]

All boxer engines growl. Subarus with UEL sound like a slurring drunk. Try a Porsche flat 4 sound byte. Try a flat 12cyl Ferarri sound byte. Of course they all sound like a friggan Honda or Mitsu...

[Nettikturbo]

Thank God, no more muffled harley motor.

[AzNtacoSAUCE]

You should swap the turbo for a twin scroll design. you get low end torque from a quicker spool-up, and more high-end HP as well!

[webgemtomato]

still sounds sexi...but its not the sound of a wrx :(

[1969MustangMACH1]

Both sound sexy! i almost like the perrin header better because its unique for a subaru

[bsh009582]

no way I would ever do this, regardless of how much power it adds. You took away the one thing that makes a subie a subie, the boxer growl!!!

[passdarok11]

@bsh009582 an uneven header length makes a subi a subi??

[bsh009582]

@passdarok11 not necessarily, everything that a subie is, makes it one like the flat 4, symmetrical AWD, but to me equal length headers make it sound like an Evo, and takes away that distinct Subaru boxer growl, just my opinion.

[passdarok11]

@bsh009582 sounds like a honda wit a turbo lol ur right bout the flat 4 im jus sayin the boxer growl comes from the uneven header because of the weird shaped motor.

[dskyze]

@bsh009582 Thats a stupid comment it may have sounded better before, but this reduces the torque meaning you dont have to spend so much money on internals, it uses exhaust gases cleverly to stop the infamous 2 and 4 cylinder failure. Like if you know what im talking about.

[czierwo]

wtf? after the tune it doesn´t sound any worse... in fact kinda more racing. BTW subaru is rally bred road car, if anyone cares more about looks, and sounds, should be looking at other brands...

LUV IT!

[gravedigger2b]

any HP gains?

[hagenhammer]

the new headers made it sound like shit in comparison.

[webgemtomato]

nooooo! the uneven headers are what makes a sube :(

[stidriftking18]

fukd it up shooda jus kept it sounds bettr b 4!

[bensiok]

=D

[reita357]

what are the performance gains on the new headers ?

[Killer91109]

BBBLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEHHH!

[35tiller35]

what catback is that? and is there an up or downpipe?

[ejicon]

So Mr. KenKamper.... how do you like them? How's the increase in power? How are you liking the smoother acceleration note?

Great video by the way.

[blindrawing]

take it off please! sounds bad.

[EthansOpinion92]

shit just makes it sound like every other 4 banger, not that i dont like that but subaru needs to keep its soul... its not a ginger

[heatrdabest]

:( But, but.. it doesnt sound like a suby anymore...

[MrFLORIDA152]

@heatrdabest i think the suby sound is better too :/

[JonEldred]

@heatrdabest It sounds like a wrc Suby

!

[JDM4LlFE]

@heatrdabest ever watch rally? thats what the subies sound like

[Patrickalien81]

@heatrdabest but it sounds like a rally car suby ;) it's nice too 4 me :)

[julio8442]

its simple guys, your just sacrificing sound for power, i have the same headers and their badass. i miss the sound but i love the numbers

[05subiegt]

can someone explain to me exactly what headers are and what difference they make to sound?

[2jzTireBurner]

@05subiegt

Your exhaust system goes like this; Cylinder exhaust port->Header->Intermediate pipe->Muffler->tailpipe

Equal length headers orchestrate the exhaust pulses from each cylinder in the engine. After the exhaust port is opened inert gas is pushed out of the cylinder into the header leaving negative pressure behind it. This neg. psi will pull another cylinderʻs exhaust right along with the first one. EQH could increase your engineʻs volumetric efficiency to 110% just like a turbo would.

[EJ20T2002]

@2jzTireBurner

you mean Cylinder exhaust port->header->uppipe->turbo->d­ownpipe->intermediate pipe->muffler->tailpipe

stick with the supras ;)

[2jzTireBurner]

@EJ20T2002 almost forgot we were talking turbos here.

[EJ20T2002]

@2jzTireBurner haha sorry i feel like an ass, my bad

[2jzTireBurner]

@05subiegt So listen carefully between the camparison and youʻll hear that the equal length headers will make a smoother tone or "vrooom" the stock is kind of choppy.

[05subiegt]

@2jzTireBurner Shitt yeah I can hear the difference. I'm not sure if i like the new sound but you think itd be worth the performance?

[2jzTireBurner]

@05subiegt If you can afford them yea.

[05subiegt]

@2jzTireBurner How much are they? I heard they help with holding onto torque in higher gears, something like that? i don't know much about how cars actually work.

[2jzTireBurner]

@05subiegt Go online and browse around for who has the best number. Try forums if you canʻt find a good brand to choose. Idk about the torque deal i just know theyʻre worth it in my opinion

[TungstenIHC]

equal length is better for turbo performance

[STI4Life06]

I have mixed feelings about equal length headers. The Perrin sounds much better than most IMO

[SuperRex7]

Did you tuned the ECU?

[kaetos03]

At low RPM's they sound about the same right? Or is it me?

[CJAEY]

I love the boxer rumble just FYI... Most built/road racing STi's don't even have that boxer rumble. So this doesn't hurt in my book.

[payne51558]

Personally I love the sound of equal headers. I dont like the rumble sound of unequal headers and truly is the reason I have not bought a Subaru.

Equal headers might push me in to the Subaru camp now.

[Xsar08X]

sounds more ricer-ish I like the regular subie rumble

[mwilsontitan]

just installed the Tomei EL header and put down some amazing numbers(08 sti). Based on forums and dyno results it could be even better than the Perrin. Just based on weld quality alone its pretty easy to see. I am a big fan of EL regardless because it just plain puts down better numbers. Either way adding a EL headers requires a tune unless you want to run lean and risk blowing an engine.

[wombraider60]

I couldn't give up the Subie rumble, so I bought Mad Dad V2 49mm "UN-equal" length headers and they sound great make a shit ton of extra power. Especially with a bigger turbo.

The difference in power between un-equal and equal length is about +3 hp more for equal length. Not enough power difference for me to by equal and lose that sound.

[sox288]

I'm pretty torn between the two headers. To me they both sounds great so its just what the driver likes better i guess. It's his car so he can put whatever headers he wants

[stidriftking18]

should of kept it the way it was b 4 cuz now it sounds like a ricer like a freakin tuner not a boxer engine sounds so much bettr b 4



[stidriftking18]

[Streetbikechamp]

sick car

[230JS]

does equal length header give a better flow?

[HighCardWins]

@230JS That's what the dyno charts show.

[mikedsm12]

my opinion, i would take the resy out an gut the muffler. then you would be thumpin :)

[HighCardWins]

@mikedsm12 That wouldn't be good. Running a gutting muffler creates back pressure. You have air spinning around in a can instead of getting out of the exhaust system. Having a good straight through muffler is better.

[kawikid20o2]

I just bought one!!!! been listening to this clip for months just waiting to bite the bullet...its time!!!

[elemento1991]

TBE FTW, once you change the headers you lose the boxer sound.

[rrose862005]

@elemento1991

Agreed. Im not a fan of the sound of equal length headers. The unequal length manifolds are what make a wrx sound like a wrx. TBE FTW!!!

[OsoTheo]

without headers its the suby deeper rumble.. with its a crisp lighter but kinda deep sound.. i just wanna suby or a gs-t lol anyone wanna send me a grand for one??

[jrzez]

Completely kills the trademark Boxer sound, dislike period.

[Idle566]

@jrzez

yes totally second that..

[themisiek2]

Before was better. Equal length headers ugh.... wtf man

[tibu266]

wayy better with headers ;) :P

[rayonac79]

STI (Y) :)

[webgemtomato]

yeah im a fan of unequal but this has its unique sound too!

[PhantasmAMX]

I've always preferred the deep burble of the unequal length headers, but this is the first video that has actually almost sold me on the equal length, it sounds so clean and powerful, but still like a Subaru. I love both options now.

[VIsubby]

There is no rea ldifference I like Equal length..more power and sounds just as good..you can't change the sound of a boxer trying to exhale..sorry not gonna happen..ever Unequal is cool but trust sound is just as nice. Both have boxer rumble

[theungrateful34]

í have mine on el sound so better

[diemf50]

That lil piece of shit is ur k24 thought it was ur friends u homo! Lol id smash the shit outta that sorry excuse for a car... N what was the point of ur vid... Lol car sounded like a stock dx Lol u wanna see the civic subie or benz? Lol ill even let u see my dad bmw that smash on u STevo fakes n ur sorry ass k24! Lol take ur pick prick

[r0llindubs]

@diemf50 hey k24's are actually one of the best motors ive ever worked on. theyre great for low budget tuning and last a really long time. idk what you & the other dude were talking about but i thought i just throw my thoughts out there lol. my girl has a boosted k24 rsx-s putting out almost 450whp. not bad for a honda! ;)

[diemf50]

@r0llindubs i know they are, done right and they are BEASTS! same with all honda engines tho, but this dude... i'd smash the hell outta him....lol

[r0llindubs]

@diemf50 i meant to say k20 lol. her tsx had the k24 in it. it doesnt realyl matter but thought id admit to my mistake ;). you can interchange the k20 and k24 though as well as the tranny between rsx-s/tsx. you prob already knew that though hah. yeah if hes talking mad trash about a car he has, then hes more than likely lying through his teeth or its slow in reality lol. mop his shit ;)

[r0llindubs]

[diemf50]

Evos are wannabe's STI's, i call em ST-evo's (stevo's) ST-evo Killa!

[STifromDSM]

Damn dude you can really tell the difference with the new Header. If you dont mind me asking how much it set you back?

[fatskater01]

do u know what the color is like exactly this car is fucking nice i want one in tht exact color

[benisthebest444]

damn dude nice setup. It sounds really sick inside. Any drone? didnt seem like it. Also, nice color ( i have the same).

[shredthegnar299]

that thing is sick! how many miles does it have on it. and have you had any leaking trouble with the perrin headers?

[GhostRider3149]

The 7 that disliked this: Straight up faggots

[shocker175]

i need an STI

[WhiteGravey]

i used to have a honda that sounded like that ^^ gogo stock mufflers

[pjlaw88]

still sounds beautiful

[italianbro225]

love it! that thing sounds mean! :D

[PERRINPerformance]

Sounds good! ELH for the WIN!!

[TakeItSideways]

Bro stick with the unequal length headers, the power loss is almost zero, while the sound is orgasmic.

[TREV206utube]

Outside acceleration: @30 and @1:09

[the20th09]

always have wanted an sti. got a 20th ae gti and i like it but would much rather have a sti

[Harthorn]

my impreza also has equal lengths (tomei single scroll)

love it to death, so much more pull mid to top range

[Nax911]

It doesn't sound like rice at all. Wtf?

[MrMark4004]

Even though its not a ricer it sounds like one.

[kubahobo]

@MrMark4004 wtf...rice sound is loudfart cans on honda civics that cost 2k...this is legit

[MrMark4004]

@kubahobo Listen im not dissing the car or even calling it a ricer.

I have a 07 STI myself all i was saying was the EL headers make it lose the boxer rumble.

[marmas5]

sounds like an evo...gross!!!!

[uscjeremy]

aww no more boxer!

[GCimprezaFTW]

@uscjeremy He didn't change the engine bro, he just changed the exhaust. It's still a boxer.

[riods69]

FUCK it so sexy !

[goliath405]

@nooomaproductions lol huh? it's the way the exhaust gasses pulse in the stock manifold that gives it that rumble. Definitely not the engine.

[camaroSYChevelle]

@nooomaproductions yeah ur an idiot. its the unequal length headers... notice it sounds way diffrent totaly lost the throaty sound. its not the engine that does that sry. go learn something

[xDahootie35x]

@nooomaproductions haha, ur funny... its the unequal length headers that give it the rumble... know your shit before you speak

[HighCardWins]

The header from the factory is what gives it the lumpy rumble. An equal length header will change the sound to more of an Evo sound.

[BBSroll]

better with stock

[itzconvict2]

i like the header sound but once its on your start leaning towards sounding like a honda but its alot more extra power for just one part

[wrxsavvy]

it kind of takes the rumble away a bit right?

[Euphorica]

nice evo you got there ;)

lol . not a fan of el headers on stis myself. id take the less power to have that boxer rumble sound

[jguerra420]

the engine sounds bad as hell with the new headers but im i trippin or does the subbie not sound as beefy on the exhaust not like i use 2 before with the new headers?

[gnarlydan]

yea not quite as deep sound id say

[SkaterFilm13]

@jguerra420 Yeah because the new headers are equal length... Read the description.

[Vanderkitten]

Ken Block don't rock no stock headers! =) Sounds good... I am interested in it for my 09 WRX...

[ALTAMINIPERFORMANCE]

LOL Ken block dont rock no subaru no more!

[TheMrRichard]

What's he driving now?

[ALTAMINIPERFORMANCE]

@TheMrRichard He now drives for ford

[TheMrRichard]

@ALTAMINIPERFORMANCE Eww, why?

[nukemutant187]

actully he did.

[ALTAMINIPERFORMANCE]

Sounds Excellent!! Great job on the video :)

[cabeg10]

I want a STI so bad~!!!!

[walteratomspalter]

@cabeg10 lol why ? you like to blame yourself?

[cabeg10]

@walteratomspalter no man the CAR lol

[MyChib]

@cabeg10 Go Africa, Heaps there... (Just Jokes). 

[cabeg10]

@MyChib hahahaha

[ridebmxeveryday]

@cabeg10 get a evo sti's are played out i firmly belive if you own and love sti's you love sucking ken's block dick

[wtfyourafuckindoosh]

@ridebmxeveryday evos are for faggot losers who cant drive without the help of a computer. and ken block dives a ford now faggot. i fimly beleive if you dont like the car then dont watch the video and flame.

[ridebmxeveryday]

@wtfyourafuckindoosh you love sucking hella ken blocks dicks ahahhahahahaha

[diemf50]

@ridebmxeveryday i firmly believe that 1 too many sti's dusted ur ass and u have a fetish for em... considering the VIDEO TOPIC is about an STI and nowhere mention a evo.... ive dusted modded evo's with my dad's stock 325 beamer...... and dusted em on the freeway in my 98 civic (wanna know whats under the hood? meet me on the freeway with ur pussy evo to find out lol

[ridebmxeveryday]

@diemf50 i had smoked countless of sti's fool even my friend with a k24 eg smoked a built sti at the drag strips sti's are ghey and weak

[diemf50]

@ridebmxeveryday funny he has a k24 lol im dippin on ST-evo's with a turbo'd d15b! lmao ur racing lames kid... lol on a drag strip? i mastered that in 03 during highschool... since then i stepped it up to not driving in straight line like most primitive drivers like urself... i race tracks and freeway son... lol i'll smoke you! lol

[ridebmxeveryday]

@diemf50 whatev fool i got k24 boosted civic that rapes any car that gets in the way 540whp illest shit i bet you probably dont even have a car

[rudkips]

@ridebmxeveryday

lol civic, they start making those in heterosexual yet?

[73DrtSprt]

i have hand made el headers on my Leggy with a glasspack and a fart can and it sounds the same. i hope you didnt spend a bunch on this. lol. it sounds nasty. i mean either way your car sounds good.

[SubaruXT6]

i like how it sounded at first. to much rasp now.

rasp FTL

[jwill3free]

How are you tuned?

[asimoVT]

something done to the EVU after installing the headers?
