For the commenters:
Intake or Exhaust?
I love that induction noise! so intake if i had to choose one
exhaust homie
Turbo spools 100x over exhaust
Exhaust for the STI, Intake for the WRX.
both! but if i had to chose intake.
on turbo cars they sound so good
That rumble is so beautiful
In NO way does the WRX sound bad but that STi makes me smile
yeah the wrx sounds great. Pretty low key actually when daily. (Sounds stock until you get on it).
The sti is so distinctive though!
so if you don`t have the sti it doesn't make that iconic sound ?
@@alecm2721 is possible to put UEL headers on a WRX?
@@silent_chill_4751 Yes, Tomei makes UEL headers for the FA engine. You loose HP, torque, and MPG and basically all the benefit of the twin scroll turbo with them.
If that doesn't bother you, go ahead. If you want a WRX that sounds like an EJ, you should really get the STI or an older WRX instead (they are cheaper and look better anyways imo), it does seem a bit silly to make the FA engine worse in every way just to make it sound better... though that lack of rumble *is* the only reason I would never buy a newer WRX lol.
@@rainyfields yea I decided to just keep the headers stock, its a shame Subaru got rid of the iconic sound on the FA, but it is what it is
The rumble was one of the things that made the wrx so endearing. There's no point without the rumble.
Jdm wrx are ELH better performance. UELH is American and these cars are Japanese lol do the math here
STi sounds 20 times better. I need a car that loud pls. Sign me up.
The WRX does sound nice tho with all the crackles. :)
I had a WRX, but the sound of the STI was what made me buy the STI at the end of 2017. Long live the rumble! It's a category in cars by itself with that. Is the reason why the Type-R disappeared from the question when I was purchasing the car. The STI is an awesome car. I love it and the sensation it returns to the driver it's years light ahead of the WRX that I had. I will never buy a twin scroll turbo again. If STI loses the rumble I'll keep mine until one of us die. It's incredible that having developed something as good as that sound Subaru numbed the WRX. Ferrari doesn't offer manual transmission anymore and sells, but to me, a 512 TR or the 355 Berlinetta manuals would be the ones. I prefer a Porsche 911 Turbo from the '90s to the current one. The last 911R is "the" recent Porsche to me. That to give perspective on my choice. The STI is not the fastest car in its group but to me is the one that delivers happiness to the driver unlike no other.
🤙
I like the STI more, sounds like a V8, however the WRX can sound good with certain exhaust setups like yours
thank you, i agree with you on the sound of the STi.
say, have you ever heard the N1 on the WRX? I'm thinking of getting it but not sure
Does that burble tune come with the acessport or from a shop?
_Makaveli I'm running full invidia catless with the dual n1 and I love the sound. Quiet for daily and loud when WOT
damn thats what i like to hear, so hyped to get mine
both of them shits sound hella nice
lol thank you!
Wrx engine sounds like it’s running healthier lol
Fernando the fa20 motors are beast
@@zafar.c63s especially with that twin scroll turbo setup
Zafar Khalilov not really lol
With that crackle tune, I doubt
Me personally i like the not obnoxious WRX has, but both are good...
Not cuz I have a STi but the RUMBLE all day. It’s a unique sound, u can identify anywhere “Oh that’s a subie” it just sound amazing in my opinion. Yes that means I choose Ringland Failure over the “new FA” anyway good video and sound👍🏽
HoeLeeFuQQ I drive an older wrx and people always say shit about ringland failure but don’t realize all you really need todo is take care of your car and maintain it well and it won’t happen! I love the classic ej. Although the the FA is more efficient, it just takes away from what the wrx and sti originally was under the hood.
AiR JoRdaN agreed. both are great cars in their own ways
HoeLeeFuQQ just an FYI your car is sick man! Just took a peep at your channel I love the red.
AiR JoRdaN thanks bro really appreciate you stopping by my channel. Love subies always been my dream car.😊👍🏽
I have no videos of my subie in its final form. Didn't last long. That old 5 speed was too weak. Next I'll start with an Sti...
"There's a lot of cars passing by"
One car passes lmao
Damn Im seriously saving up as much as I can working at McDonald’s 😭
Venir Lekha you can do it! Just keep workin and you’ll get there!!
Venir Lekha damn
bro you got it. I work at walmart and am deadass saving up enough for a decent down payment. Like at least 2k but going for 3k or more by summer next year. Prob getting 18 WRX Prem.
Todd Hamlin you should save up at least 10-15k in your bank, insurance is expensive.
@@STI.Ricardito 3 or so k should be fine for down payment. My credit is pretty good and the monthly payment is looking to be around $400/month
I bet the neighbours love these cars XD
haha, my car is quiet, THAT STi THOUGH!
That thing is a beast
R33C3 both of em sound great tbh I love hearing subies 😂
The STI iconic boxer rumble is the only thing I miss from my wrx wagon. I'd be in heaven if my FA WRX sounded like the STI in the video. The closest I've come to an original Subaru rumble on my WRX is the Grimmspeed Catless J pipe to a non resonated Invidia R400 catback. Deep and basey, heavy drone and very minimal rasp.
The STi definitively sounds a lot cooler, but a bit loud for daily duties.
#rumble
Good for a weekend car though, i feel that kind of setup isn't for a daily
Or maybe get a different exhaust? Because the STI is basically straight piped with muffler and resonator delete.
Nicolas A just removing the resonater, which is part of the exhaust system
The stock sti exhaust is super quiet. You practically have to put your mouth over the tailpipe to tell it's running. If you want it quiet just leave it stock
Very nice bro, both sound amazing
First sat passenger in an '04. Hella nice interior and fun to ride in for wherever you want to go in it. Hella nice car
I've always dream of having an Subie that rumbles like that... Hopefully in the future 🙌🙌🙌
Imma go with the STI. That deep rumble is unmatched.
I've had both a 2017 WRX and a 2017 STI. Rumble all day everyday. The WRX sounds like every other turbo 4 out there.
AtlantaGeorgia404 had a 2011 wrx and immediately got rid of the restrictive and harmful uel headers lmao
AtlantaGeorgia404 I don't understand why everyone insists it sounds like "every other 4 cylinder out there." The FA20DIT still sounds a different than an inline 4.
@WhatIWant - I said it sounds like every TURBO 4 out there. I had a supercharged 8th gen Civic that sounded just like my WRX. The more I think about it, I lied because the SRT4 sounded pretty good, although I think it had no mufflers from the factory. I traded in my WRX because I needed that rumble in my life.
AtlantaGeorgia404 and I have a friend that had a turbo 8th gen Si, catless with just a muffler, and it was more high pitched than the WRX. The WRX still has a deeper tone to it than other turbo 4s.
WhatIWant yeah agreed, the FA sounds like a boxer not like an inline 4 lol
cant beat that turbo noise
blazers12369 yes you can the whining of a super charged v8
brian sylvester whine sounds like a old Honda going in reverse
@@briansylvester1589 supercharger sounds garbage and turbo can make more power lol
@@stancemedia4727 nah bro the best is a titan missile booster thrust sound fuck whatever shit your on
Just ordered invidia catless down pipe and R400 and I can’t wait
Sti always but thats the nicest sounding wrx i heard with the pop tune
They both sound nice!
smashed that like!!!
bro it was so cool meeting you just now. keep up with the vids. the car sounds awesome thanks for showing it to me!
“That Efficiency!” Killed me HAHA
Both are beautiful but rumble wins all day.
Ron didn't give me a crackle tune...didn't even realize such thing existed
I Love this. We do the same...Considering a '19 STi just for the unequal sound. But also hoping for a 2.4L new motor for the 2020 STi. What a dilemma...both sound great...love the crackle on the WRX but have to go old school and vote for the STi.
I have owned both now and I can say the STI is my favorite from the two but the WRX got great gas mileage 🤔
I have had both the Q300 and the ETS Extreme on the STI. At first , the Q300 was way too quiet, so I switched to the ETS and was impressed. Then I got an Invidia catless dp as well and it's obnoxious af now. I feel bad for the neighbors :( It's a demanding car to drive every day. Sometimes I just want to blend in lol
That efficiency yo! I like my fa20. And an aggressive yet subtle exhaust too!
bettter mpg and faster. can't be that : )
@@JohnNguyenVincent Nice ride man. Looks really good.
What kind of exhaust did you put in that wrx? Sounds fresh
Hey bro just found your channel had a quick question is driving a stick shift really bad in Los Angeles?
Rewatching this video, and realized you're located in Elk Grove. Heyoo
So, any tickets for either of you for your exhausts? I’m looking at the AWE Track Edition for my ‘19 STi Limited.
Depends how you drive, I'm rocking an ETS Extreme no res and I gotta say im loud as fuck but the most trouble I had was a chp staring at me for a few seconds and a speeding ticket for 77 in a 65 (end of the month cop quota) but I think AWE MIGHT be louder than ETS
Best sounding fa wrx I’ve heard
Wrx sounds more JDM...but that Rumble is just....unique
Red looks Super! But ... STI all the way :)
Hahah fine!
Y’all from Sacramento? 100% sure I just seen that blue wrx with the carbon fiber trunk and gt spoiler today
they both sound great, love them both...
burble tune wrx exhaust FTW
SNAP CRACKLE POP!
I got burble tune on my 15 sti...damn them rumble Pops!!
The rumble is nice but the equal length mainfold sounds smoother. It’s more japanese, less american.
Tomei > R400 on the STi. STi on R400 = drone city. If you get the Tomei however, it's better to get a catted down pipe since catless is obnoxious
i had no idea, tomei for sure then
Jorgen Von Strangle Tomei For sure with Catted DP paired to it
Nice comparison, bro.. Thumbs up 👍
So I know the newer gen 2015+ Subaru runs a twin scroll turbo and it dosent allow for the unequal length exhaust that gives the subarus that boxer rumble its known for... does that only apply to the new wrx? Does the new sti still have unequal exhaust? Or do you just buy aftermarket to get that sexy rumble?
Anthony Coffey the new sti still has the ulh bc it still uses the older ej engine while the new wrx has a twinscroll turbo on the fa20 so it has equal length headers. if you want to get the dumb all you would have to do it get ulh and a different turbo
But what if the WRX deleted its muffler, would it sound as near to the STI?? Or am I wrong? I love cars but I’m not too familiar with the mechanics and stuff.
Twig the muffler only changes the volume of the exhaust note. Its the headers and amount of cylinders that change its tone.
In this case, the STi runs unequal length headers which are known for making cars rumble, doesnt matter what car theyre on. The WRX runs equal length headers like every other car you seebon the road, making it slightly higher pitched like those cars.
I want a complete straight pipe with UEL headers. BUT I want it out of titanium for the massive weight savings. Loud is proud.
With headphones the wrx does have a rumble to it. It's just higher pitched because of the headers. The firing order still gives it thag sound it just sounds way more higher pitched because if doesn't have UEL
Both are dope. But like everyone sti sounds the best. Only thing I miss is the rumble when I’m driving my wrx.
Nice video, both cars sound good but I really feel like this video was made for FA owners to be able to sleep better at night. I mean you even mentioned the STI owner thinks the FA sounds "weird" there is a reason one is 10 grand cheaper. In reality though the 2.0 sounds weak even for a boxer, regardless which exhaust but I would take a FA over a shit ass BRZ anyday. Hands down the EJ sounds way more beefy. Don't get me wrong I'm all for loving whatever car you own but for that neck breaking raw Subaru sound comes from an EJ not a FA no matter how hard you try or whoever's STI trunk you swapped with. People that went the FA route spends countless internet hours trying to justify why they bought a FA over an EJ and no matter how much money you dump into your FA or how much faster you make the FA over the EJ. It will never hold the EJ title or sound.
truer words have never been said until now.
The brz has an FA tho... so you would rather take an FA over a brz makes no sense unless you say a turbo’d FA over a N/A FA...
Lmao uel brz sounds amazing don’t hate fam
Thats Cal State Fullerton! Where do u guys do ur car meets?
What did he get for a resonator delete?? How did he do it?? I’m thinking about an exhaust setup for my STI. I’m thinking about tomei or a muffler and resonator delete to have quad tips.
Both cars look and sound great btw
Probably took it to a muffler shop and had them cutoff the stock resonator and weld a straight pipe in its place.
That 1000 dollar ticket in California for modified exhaust 😯 omg
I have a 2016 wrx can you give me the list on what I need to install to sound like that sti?
What BPV do you have, the flutter sounds so good!!!!!!!!!
412 Subaru he has boomba bpv if you want that flutter you need to get a cold air intake
swaggolass My car is FBO w the Boomba BPV and the flutter isnt that good lol
412 Subaru what cold air intake do you have?
swaggolass Cobb. I mean it does flutter for surs, just not like that one. I have a loud exhaust also, that may be part of it lol
412 Subaru maybe lol this guy has a pretty tame exhaust on his
STi clean asf , just got a c300 Benz at 18 but I want a STi when I’m 20 or 21
X who gives a fuck
@@lordprettyflvcko9580 chill
Id trade in the c300 for a wrx and tune it
Why do people always say it’s the motor... it’s the elh vs the uel. Elh sti sounds the same lol
Noel Hernandez no they have completely different motors
@@ScOpEzFrosty That doesn't mean completely different sound. The rumble comes from the headers. An EJ with ELH sounds practically the same as an FA20.
@@SuitOne The engine must make some difference, because I've yet to hear a BRZ with UEL headers that sounds like this STI. But yes, UEL headers are the sole reason of rumble.
@@l5248 BRZ's also run boxer engines. The difference most likely comes from the fact that they aren't turbocharged. Turbos muffle exhaust very noticably, and enrich and deepen sound.
@@SuitOne Yeah, I guess that's why every video of a BRZ exhaust with a UEL header sounds like a rattly Civic.
I miss the stock turbo noise, but love my 20g
May I know which subie has the fa20 engine?
And is it the same with the 14-18 Forester XT Fa20, right?
its a wrx or a evolution?... we never know... love de STI rumble
I LOVE my WRX and the gas mileage is more affordable but the STI EJ motor will always sound better. Always.
Is the Sti in world rally blue?
It looks like it would be but my friend has a wrx in that color and the colors look really different.
Yeah that's wr blue. I have one in lapis blue pearl and mine is more purple
The sti sounds like a mix of v8 and v6
Challenger is like my dream car, buttttttt, these Subies are a close 2nd, they're so freaking nice!
respect for both cars. The subaru gets a lot of thumbs up from the community.
John Nguyen heck yeah man, and definitely a big thumbs up from me!
If you want a non rumble sound, go for evo. But for me, you buy a subie for its signature rumble. The rally rumble sets the subies apart from the other car brands with that distinct and unique rumble in my opinion.
How can a wrx get the rumble? Would in equal length headers with a straight pipe do it?
That boomba bpv 😍😍😍
the reason why i love subaru. STi for the win. uelh always sound better, just take care of the ej and it will take care of you. both are sick though.
There's no substitute for that Subaru Rumble. The FA sounds like you have a vacuum cleaner under your hood.
You can't put UEL headers on a FA WRX because of the twin scroll turbo
ivebeen WTF? This is a WRX VS STI video, everyone here is talking about the WRX's FA20F motor NOT the BRZ's FA20D motor 🤦♂️
ivebeen WOW you're stupid..
i will never stray from STi muffler delete, but that crackle on the wrx sounds SO SO NASTY!
I dont mean to sound dumb or anything but when they say tune do they mean a tune-up or a dyno tune?
Both awesome :)
thanks my dude!
Is there a way to get that sti rumble in a 17 wrx? Got the wrx due to finances at the time but definitely want that deep tone that the sti's got.
not an easy way. It's not worth it.
Hi , I want to o know ,WRX use which one blow off value, the sound so good,Thx
My guess is boomba. If you havent had this answered yet
I thought this model only came as one variation ? Not wrx or STI just wrx sti? Looking to purchase one so would love to know to make sure I buy correctly
You would be right.
There is WRX and WRX STI.
@@JohnNguyenVincent have either of you had your 2.5 engine forged?
I'm not sure,
both of our internals are stock. (i'm not sure if the wrx sti's are forge)
@@JohnNguyenVincent neither will come forged as standard. In UK we have lots of issues of the pistons failing as they aren't forged. Worth looking into as the 2.5 engine is horrendous. May be different in the USA but I believe Subaru recently admitted it's a problem.
The wrx only bc that turbo sound the wrx just sounds so much more smooth and it just seems like the sti is just ode loud asf even tho i like loud the wrx is a clean loud
Both nice Subys but why is it always videos of exhaust sound when the cars are stationary.....Most cars sound average unless they are pegging it with the engine under load....Thats what I want to hear anyway !
The Q300 still has big mufflers. Should've got nameless muffler deletes or invidia N1 if you wanted a better comparison. Muffler deletes are definitely going to be louder though
for me louder isn't better
@@JohnNguyenVincent of course, but the video seems to only compare loudness. I have the invidia N1 and they're not bad at idle or regular driving, loud cold starts, and really open up at high rpm. I'm sure you're kind of like me and care about your neighbors, and that's why I didn't go with a muffler delete
yeah, the invidia resonator really cleans up the ugly noises.
U guys should completely swap full headers turbo and exhaust from sti to wrx to c how the new wrx sounds with it.
That's a lot of money.
So if I had the same setup the sti had on a wrx ,well it sound the same ?
Meno G no they have different motors
Was that phillip from "ayeitsphillip"?
Wrx all day! I like the noise of the air intake better!
My 2011 2.5i has ELH and it sounds better than that wrx but I think that’s cause it’s a bigger displacement. My vote is the rumble
Wrx elh exhaust sound always makes me cringe, like nails on a chalk board.
P.s what seats you got in the rex?? Looks sick, does it have airbags?
What headlights are on the wrx?!?!
Christian Woods its the subispeed headlights v1 or v2
WRX is great but it’s disappointing that equal length headers don’t give it the rumble like the STI 🥲🥲
Do invidia n1 duals. Very clean sound with the rumble. Low drone to mid drone(cant hear exhaust with radio loud) loud as FUKushima WOT. Add an up pipe with ewg 45mm. That will get ur balls brass
So, will there ever be a way to make the Wrx fa20 sound deep and throaty like the sti?
Nope, many have tried
I honestly don't know much about engines but is there anyway to make the new wrx have rumble
you have to change to a traditional turbo and change the header
My ears tell me UEL, but my logic tells me EL because more power and that’s what the race cars run.
This shit is tough ! i love the 2 sounds but i may be leaning to the WRX (Those pops broo)
That STi had no exhaust setup, basically. If he had added a dp + tune & intake. He could get those pops. Even just a tune for it without adding other mods. My wrx pops and bangs without a downpipe or tune. Just running a catback with a CAI.
The STI doesn’t sound like a four cylinder..
Which one is better for daily/race car and still reliable
wrx by far
STI Sounds way Better!
Ohh and for the poll, STI of course!
"That Rumble"..."That New Excuse to always try to get us believe that a WRX is better than an STI"😅🤣😂
What wheels are on the wrx??👌🏼
Where do you get the crackle tune!?
I love them both :3
STI sounds like a HEMI V8!! DOUBLE BOXER!!
