hi this is a question to you wrx owners Im in the market for a new car fairly soon and the wrx is on my list. i was interested in the wrx ( non-sti) ive been comparing and researching and for 25k it seems like a steal awd turbo 230hp. What do you guys like/dislike about your wrx? I dont plan to mod it too much. I like the way the SPT exhaust sounds it always gets my attention when i hear one Would there be any pros / cons in getting a new BOV? Well i think thats all. ty in advance.

Likes:
AWD means great grip in wet and dry.
flat four has awesome unique sound

Dislike:
Factory tires aren't the greatest.

BOV = biggest waste of time - read down the threads and you'll see the general opinions.

The SPT is a good exhaust, it's actually made for Subaru by Bosal and it has a great sound to it.

i heard that headers take away from the "flat four" sound? is that just a forum rumor or is it valid?

I know what headers are, the problem is you've gone from talking about the exhaust to talking about headers so I'm not sure you know.....

It's the equal length headers that supposedly take away the sound

I've heard a vid of an N/A Impreza with an equal length header and it sounded fine to me

equal length header = more HP, lose the boxer rumble
unqual length header = less HP, insane boxer rumble

I, myself, have a set of unequal length header from Vibrant (made here in Canada) and they sound amazing and produce great mid-range and top end power while magnifying the already sweet boxer rumble. I've also heard a set of equal length headers on a WRX and i personally dont like the sound at all - you can definately tell the difference in tone.
