how to get that subaru sound ?

[Simon]

Make a 4cylinder run on 3cylinders. Pull off a spark plug lead for example.

Will sound like a Subaru

Pretty sure you're wrong.

If a car has a cat as standard, it's part of a MOT check to make sure it's there. Well post 1992 IIRC.

Hence me saying as long as the car has a valid MOT.
most cats/decats are 20 min swapout jobbies.
Some even look like a cat with a straight thru pipe inside

Same goes with those godawful dpfs, theres a lot of people get them knocked thru and mapped out

Not a Subaru, but...

Does anyone know of any good places in the uk that sells custom headers?

Search for Manifold, as the word headers is the Yank word for manifold, there are places that will do them, mainly back street places as the main exhaust places neither have the skill or experience to do the job. I had a custom manifold made for my Capri years ago and it didn't cost the Earth.

Nice cars the sports, almost got one myself.
What colour did you get?

It's not 100% gonna fail, depends on the emissions...
Well that or if you've got a friendly MOT tester lol

From what I gather the 6MPS with the 2nd cat removed tends to pass anyway, not sure if the sports have 2 cats also tho.

Also it depends if you have a friendly MOTer or not.

Music to my ears, just perfect

I've got a H&S exhaust on mine, similar to that. Mine sounds a little different as it has tubular headers, which are unequal, but not as much as the default ones.

Default:

Replacements:

And it's a 2.0, not a 2.5 . OK, that comparison probably got stretched too far...

I want the sound of a 440CI Dodge charger from my LC80 4.2TD, Can this be done??

Easiest way to get that sound on your Mazda is to sell it and buy a Subaru.

Don't waste your money buying exhaust manifolds etc. as you'll only end up with a Mazda that sounds broken.

It sounds fine. That's just how they idle. Big cam. Big block.

Yea it has a high lift cam and an after market exhaust. they sound menacing enough to begin with.

Ah the unmistakable sound of a chav...
Just buy yourself an impreza there not worth that much

You know the subaru rumble is the sound of inefficiency right? unequal length headers lose power

MMMmmmmmmmmm!

Of course a Diesel (And particularly a rock solid one like the Yotas) will never have the crackle of an idling 440 (At least I hope not! )

I would however love to have a discrete V8 rumble

(One that isn't antisocial but does make people turn and look to see where it was coming from! )

Yes, which is why I replaced mine (see above). But who cares? It's not like 5bhp is going to make a difference.
