I love it. The slight rear camber, good looking and sounding fart can and the little "charm" on the opposite side to the muffler. Really for when you're rallying this thing to pull it out of a ditch in the event of a crash but looks sooo good. It's not too overdone where it's just a stupid rice box, but it isn't even close to being a shitty Honda so cudos. I'm mad jelly of this beautiful car.
VERY nice editing here. Who cares about what it sounds like and what you prefer...all that matters is that the owner loves it and SURE he does. Stop fighting and respect the work!
Sounds good man, Im running the Tomei EL header and uppipe set up on my 08 sti with the invidia q300, I got a little less rasp then yours but overall sound's almost the same. As for the people saying it sounds like a Honda..go listen to one then go back to the video it sounds nothing like it. Still has a little rumble at low rpm's but at higher rpm's sounds more like a Porsche. Inline and flat four two diffrent variation's.
Love mustangs- went to the strip with my sons version 8 swap and 2 friends with nicely done up fox bodies - long story short - I smoked them both with a passenger and a full case of beer in the back seat . It was their tires that did them in.13.89 from an amateur ( me ) . great cars - both of them
STi's come stock from the factory with top mount intercoolers. The air is designed to go into the scoop and into the intercooler. However, LSCHLEGS has a front mount, making the scoop ineffective. Actually, it takes away air from flowing solely into the front mount.
It's not the dp, it's the exhaust manifold. The stock manifold is unequally lengthed which creates that low rumble noise. This car probably has a new cam shaft as well, although I'm not sure.
yea we get some snow not to much i dont plan on hittingthe tracks just to work and back...also on some road trips 3-5 hours away nothing big i heard that the WRX is a little funky at times sence there is no 6th gear...(i asume they mean higher in the RPMs)
i have a bugeye and im not much of a fan of the hatchs but your STI is fucking siiiiicck... could be the dopest hatch i have ever seen. im buying perrin EL and i cant wait to hear my subie.... everything else is done to the exhaust but the headers. love the car man
Just would like to point out, many of the new subs, especially non turbo liberty, legacy foresters and imprezas come with Equal Length Headers. Turbo cars come with unequal length in some cases. This change happened in 2004 for the foresters I'm pretty sure, most Subs pre 04' will have UEL. :)
Badass. I plan on swapping the stock header for a equal lenght. it doesnt sound like a inline four if you listen closely. Heck id go with an jdm sti twin scroll setup if i had the cash....
I've never heard a Subbie sound like that. It doesn't even sound like a traditional Subbie. I like it. I'm tired of hearing the 4000 WRX's in my town all day. Nice to hear something different for a change.
WRXs are the only boxer 4 cylinders that sound like that (what most know as the "boxer sound"), and that's because of the unequal length headers. If you put unequal length headers on an I4 it would sound the same.
@LSCHLEGS "Wicked Game" right? Nice car bro. My 08 STI is sitting stock in my garage home in the states - and I am now over 4500 miles away in Russia. I'm suffering postpartum depression
Thats not turbo charged. On a WRX the turbo sits in the back drivers side corner of the engine bay, so the exhaust is longer on the passenger side so that it can join the drivers side. To make equal lengths like this sti has; they add a partial loop to the drivers side equalizing the lengths of the two sides.
@LSCHLEGS Ignore the people who don't realize the (albeit) awesome sounding boxer rumble unfortunately comes at the expense of our turbo's. People in the US don't realize that Japan has been getting equal length headers for dayzzz
It depends.. Are you considering hitting the track days? If not, go for the WRX... I don't know if you have snow where you're located, but if you do, STIs will need rims that clear the brembos.. I use cheap steelies on my wrx and no trouble with clearing the brakes, and it's way cheaper than a second set of rims... Also, the WRX will do 0-60 faster than an STI. Thats like a 0.2 of a second, but still. I'd say go for a WRX if you're intending to be daily driving it, STI if you do a lot of track.
lol right on..if you dont mind me askin do you have the wrx or an sti...lookin to get a hatch and not sure if i should get the sti,or if i even need the sti...or is it worth and all that junk..
It has equal length headers rather than the stock unequal length headers that give it the Subaru rumble that everyone is so used to. EL headers produce way more power that UEL headers do.
wow. 10 years ago and it’s still better quality than most videos today
Honestly i don't care if unequal length headers hinder performance, the boxer rumble is just so nice and makes driving so much fun.
Your car is just, absolutely stunning and beautiful, all at the same time.
Everyone has a different opinion. Me personally, i like it a lot!
Great taste my friend ;D
Zakary Win thanks bro. What's up?

Everytime i watch still cant get over this but i want a greddy exhaust so bad.
this has to be one of the nicer tune jobs i have seen on youtube. Looks and sounds great!
i have seriously not ever seen a sti thats cleaner than this one holy crap i wanna make my wrx like yours!!
VERY nice editing here. Who cares about what it sounds like and what you prefer...all that matters is that the owner loves it and SURE he does. Stop fighting and respect the work!
Out of all the exhaust sounds u have the best exhaust
Didn't know they made the exhaust for this car. Awesome clip of the exhaust note!
I love how well this did is edited and put together. nly complaints bout car is roof scoop and sound. they make the car less evio
love this car the exhaust is exactly how i would do it ... the car is the HOTTNESS
Sounds good man, Im running the Tomei EL header and uppipe set up on my 08 sti with the invidia q300, I got a little less rasp then yours but overall sound's almost the same.

Wow....reason i love WRX's right here.... masterpiece of an automobile, great job, an haters gonna hate :)
one of the best looking sti out there....i want to see all around the car.
Love the photography and the attention to detail!
ITS AMAZING!!!!! THIS WRX SOUNDS COMPLETLY DIFFERENT TO EVERY OTHER ONE IVE HEARD :O

dude, this is just too good. I'm having a breakdown inside
It's not the dp, it's the exhaust manifold. The stock manifold is unequally lengthed which creates that low rumble noise. This car probably has a new cam shaft as well, although I'm not sure.
this is my screen saver on my phone! my how this car has grown.
usually i dont like the exhaust on most imports because of the high pitch of it, i like the fact that this car has such a low growl and a deep rev.
Wheel specs are incredible!
I usually don't like Impreza, but this one looks amazing, congrats
hey I knew nothing about Subaru headers until an hour ago so I'll take your word for it
there is forum about his car. The lowered suspension improves aerodynamics, and i think those rear tires are widened and that equals better handling.
Great cinematography, good tunes and niiiiice car!
my favorite subi vid and exhaust system i have seen!
cleanest sound ive heard from an Ti-C. i gotta cop one
Definitely the best STI I have ever heard
yea we get some snow not to much i dont plan on hittingthe tracks just to work and back...also on some road trips 3-5 hours away nothing big i heard that the WRX is a little funky at times sence there is no 6th gear...(i asume they mean higher in the RPMs)
That was 3 mins of heaven to my ears, i listen to this to sleep once =)
Fucker sounds like Johnny Tran's S2000
this is sick man. sick hatchback sti!
Not a big fan of the non rumble but this is the nicest stanced hatchback I've seen. Great job.
@Russki46 It an STI. Its says in the name of the video and sti's don't come n/a. All of them come turbo from the factory.
yes it is higher pitched and it make the revs a bit smoother.
i have a bugeye and im not much of a fan of the hatchs but your STI is fucking siiiiicck... could be the dopest hatch i have ever seen. im buying perrin EL and i cant wait to hear my subie.... everything else is done to the exhaust but the headers. love the car man
You have to open up your headlights and remove the amber reflector (the orange thing). To open them you have to bake them in the oven.
Very tasty edited video and modded STI. :)
This is the sickest sti on youtube c;
Sounds amazing! I can't wait to get EL headers.
uel headers come stock on a wrx and up. el headers are on all 2.5i subarus
video is so well done, along with that exhaust note.
keep those vids coming our way your car needs to be shown off to the world!
where can i get a tow hitch like that on the back left? and what is it mounted to??
It doesn't really take away the rumble it just makes it higher pitch because it still has that subie rumble.. Just higher pitch.
@Angdvl089 Not my place to answer this, but maybe they switched to bov and engine runs rich, and sometimes makes that flame.
Gangster ass video editing dudes and/or dudeettes, loved it +1
I know this video is old, but great use of the slider dolly.
Just would like to point out, many of the new subs, especially non turbo liberty, legacy foresters and imprezas come with Equal Length Headers. Turbo cars come with unequal length in some cases. This change happened in 2004 for the foresters I'm pretty sure, most Subs pre 04' will have UEL. :)
My fav video on the internet
Badass. I plan on swapping the stock header for a equal lenght. it doesnt sound like a inline four if you listen closely. Heck id go with an jdm sti twin scroll setup if i had the cash....
@jouched
Equal length headers made it sound like that. Normaly, Subarus have unequal length headers that made them rumble ;)
I've never heard a Subbie sound like that. It doesn't even sound like a traditional Subbie. I like it. I'm tired of hearing the 4000 WRX's in my town all day. Nice to hear something different for a change.
@sookainian its just the 07 one, still fits fine
looks like a sick subaru man i'm just starting to tune mine so hopefully ill get something like this in the end
nice car! i love the look from the back of the car
@Rashim0s dont forget he's also lowered on racing springs
The car is epic no matter what
I completely agree, but honestly this one looks great. I guess you could say this one is an exception.
That is true. :) But I have been hearing that the 99-04 are not very dependable or reliable, but I do not know about the new gen.
WRXs are the only boxer 4 cylinders that sound like that (what most know as the "boxer sound"), and that's because of the unequal length headers. If you put unequal length headers on an I4 it would sound the same.
el headers really gives it that rally sound
That is a fine ride you have, sir.
i just noticed the rear wiper delete... looks great like that. shoulda been like that from factory
Sir... This is the nicest '08 STI i've ever seen.. I would do anything to get that car! o.O
I can't help but cry when I hear this Subaru :')
Nice dolly, and color grading too.
Clearly a #CleanAss Subbi
Very beautiful car man. Amazing color.
Its his car, he can do what he wants with it
Wow. If it moves as good as it revs I love it.
Awesome depth of field btw

@typerlude IAG taillight kit they are just overlays pretty cheap too
Not only is this car FUCKING SEXY, but the editing and footage is out of this world!!
PROPS!
I'm all over the boxer rumble. there are definitely rally cars with equal length headers still.
camber of epic proportions
Your car is sick. Very nice.
AMUSE titanium exhaust is the best! It's been sold from Japan
It depends.. Are you considering hitting the track days? If not, go for the WRX... I don't know if you have snow where you're located, but if you do, STIs will need rims that clear the brembos..

Sounds good and it's good for your engine too.
No it sounds like a 500$ honda or what ever, the best on a subaru is the Rumble with an catless dp ans invidia n1 race👌👌👌
I think you meant to say magnaflow with resonator delete for that sexy rumble
Equal sounds mean as fuck. Especially with a tial 38mm wastegate.
lol right on..if you dont mind me askin do you have the wrx or an sti...lookin to get a hatch and not sure if i should get the sti,or if i even need the sti...or is it worth and all that junk..
Well I feel like a genius! Haha thanks man.
sounds like a civic with unequal length headers
equal length*
GeeFK idk i can still hear the rumble a bit so i stand by my first statement
ah I have misinterpreted your comment. My bad!
GeeFK all is good xD tho i see you own a subbie so plz take this as example and don't turn ur subbie into a civic :)
nubserver yes indeed, theses subbies are far from civics, Honda/Acura different from Subaru
It has equal length headers rather than the stock unequal length headers that give it the Subaru rumble that everyone is so used to. EL headers produce way more power that UEL headers do.
great editing, colours and sounds from this video dude. Very nice STi, post up another, I'd love to see it rolling and launch videos!
It just isn't a subi with out the rumble. This made me a tear drop
The rear lights are the same as Maserati Quattro!
yo that STI is nasty hot man mad props
Still a scooby but def. sounds like an s2k. Beautiful car bro!!!
This doesn't sound like a Honda, more like an even more unique sounding Impreza :)
Every time I'm feeling sad I come here and watch this video and then everything is alright.
MY JDM Legacy GT vf38 twinscroll turbo came from the factory with Equal Lenght headers.
Sounds like a tuned Amazon. I must say that I don't prefer equal or unequal headers on boxers, but this does sound good.
thats what i thought but did the cut out the middle for the reverse lights?
nice quality Video Camera used in this video
