nickobelic Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hey guys I own a 3.0 spec b and want to put an exhaust on. I also owned a wrx and am wondering how different do they sound? I don't want that wrx grumble, does anyone have a good link where I can hear exhaust set ups or any related advise on this? I would like to hear an exhaust before I spend $$$. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Go on line to You Tube. Search "Subaru exhaust." Several videos with sound with different exhaust set ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I own both a wrx and an H6 Outback. they will NEVER have a similar sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickobelic Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 So the H6 engine has a completely different note then? I wasn't sure cause they're both boxer engines. Youtube doesn't tell me what type of exhaust it is. Wouldn't the manufacturers of exhaust systems have some examples of cars they've done? I'll check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) the only reason my WRX doesn't sound like a Honda is the unequal length header tubes feeding the turbo. Not saying headers can't be made to alter the sound of the H6 - maybe your search will find something. All of the 'built/project' H6es I've heard sound smooth. Even cardoc's supercharged car sounded smooth.(dig through here; http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/110-gen-2-2000-2004/47896-sleeper-vdc.html -some good pics in there too. Also, dig around in his youtube channel; ) (I think I have seen pics of a twin turbo H6, maybe it would sound 'uneven' if the headers were customized?)

1 Lucky Texan Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I just saw this, it shows how much trouble you must go thru to try to CREATE a 'rumble' on an H6 motor; http://www.mainelysubarus.com/forums/topic/12976-custom-headersexhausts/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Seems easier to run the "proper" 4 into a loud muffler, then the other 2 into a quiet one to get close to the right sound... who feels like calculating the firing intervals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
