2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Exhaust Comparison

- Hey guys, so I just wanted to put out a quick comparison video of the different setups I've had on my hatchback over the last few months. It started off with a simple muffler delete to get more sound out of it, and then quickly moved on to a Tsudo N1/InfernoFab UEL combo.
I had the Tsudo N1 on by itself for a while as the UEL's took a while to arrive but it was definitely worth it. While I had the Tsudo N1 by itself I had the baffle in just because it was far too droney for my liking and it didn't sound very good in my opinion. The baffle gave it a decent tone and even some mild rumble at certain rpm's. Once the UEL's arrived last week though it definitely changed everything. The videos won't do it justice and it sounds awesome. It's a touch raspy cause I still have a stock mid pipe but I might change that out though I'm in no rush.
With the UEL's in there's no need for the baffle anymore, unless you're trying to be a nice neighbor or maybe going on a longer road trip. It doesn't kill the the rumble but it's way quieter especially in the cabin with it in. Otherwise it's that classic subie rumble everyone loves. I hope the clips are helpful to anyone who's curious about doing this to their car, and if there are any questions I'm happy to help out however I can!
absolutely nutters
much time later and still love the thing haha
@@matthewortega5492 is it an automatic?
For anyone wanting to skip to the UEL clips you can find those at 3:19, the cold start and revs are at 1:33
Did you have to take the infernolab headers to a shop to get them cut to fit? Or did they just bolt on.
@@nullbones6905 nope they’re a direct swap!
@@matthewortega5492 hell yeah! Thank you for responding 😄
How much are the unequal length headers? Are they easy to install?
Great video, thanks for posting. I have a 2010 Impreza and am exploring options. To me it is looking more and more like I need to go with the UEL mod. The Subaru sound is amazing. What was the shopping list for the UEL mod for you? I am new to Subaru's. I am a bit inexperienced and want to make sure I am ordering the right parts..
great video, i’m going to copy this exhaust uel and exhaust setup for my car haha, thank you!
Don’t be afraid smash the gas!!!!!
sounds great!
Hey can you post the link to the headers and exhaust please? I really love the sound you have! I have the same car but gunmetal grey! Also going to do a bumper cut with a diffuser to go the dual exit quad tip route. Or maybe some nasty looking dual exit single tips cut on an angle, not sure yet as I’d like to just get the headers and cat back system first!
Thanks dude! That’s awesome.

That’s the link to the headers. As for the Tsudo N1 they don’t seem to make it anymore as it’s been out of stock for some time. The Invidia N1 is very comparable albeit more expensive. If it’s fits with the 2008-14 Hatchback you’ll be able to mount it with minimal modifications!
This fit for sedan too? And a cheaper muffler that's comparable?
Hey mate just curious to know what the decibel level is on this setup. I want to follow the same route but don’t want a defect. I live in sydney so i have the 2.0 version. Here i think the limit is 90db at idle or 3000rpm
i got tsudo uel and an invidia n1 catback as well!
This is the naturally aspirated Subaru 2.5 right?
Yes
ive been trying to buy this car for a while cant find one :(
infernoFab UEL sounds great for such a slow car
Lmao yep that’s a slowbaru for you
@@matthewortega5492 haha :) just got the same car (2011) damn boy 170hp it's missing a turbo lol!! but your sounds awesome ;)
aren't the rs models 2.0 litre engine maybe different in other countries
hey what’s the size of your rims and what color is that? where did u bought it?
Hey! They’re 17x8 +35mm, and they’re bronze. I got them off a website called fitment industries, makes it real easy to shop for these things
Hey just wondering if the headers were a direct bolt on and was there anything else you had to do to get them to fit?
yep headers are direct fit
either way i think 2.0L can still get the same sound with aftermarket uels
You can, i used to have 2009 Impreza 2.0i whit UEL here in europe,
Now i have 18 Forester XT whit UEL
Just keep looking. I found mine at a local used car dealership
I have a 2008 hatch with UEL headers and a muffler delete sounds pretty good
its manual?
How much did the inferno lab setup cost with the UEL headers?
all in all was about $1k more or less, the headers were about $700 and the catback was about $300
@@matthewortega5492 what cat back ?
With the catless headers did you get a check engine light?
They’re not catless, and since they’re made to fit the o2 sensors fit right in place so no worries
Wish I could get uels ur my neighbor is complaining ab my exhaust
Did you ever switch our the midpipe?
Can someone give me the link to the infernolab UEL exhaust?
Hey man where did u buy the Taudo N1
i don't think they make the tsudo n1 anymore from what i've seen, but invidia still make an n1
Thanks bro. I’m struggling to find the right exhaust that looks like the tsudo and has a pipe that leads to the right side.
I want to order inferno lab headersand pair it with my 2.5" borla exhaust i just got,just not sure if i should do catless or with cat... i could always keep my oem headers and swap if i need to do emissions XD
w/ cat would definitely be best. without a cat it definitely sounds a little raspier so just make note of that if you decide to go that route!
any more stuff on ur car? looks nice what wheels are those
getting some cosmetic things done at the moment, haven't really gotten a chance to to record much though, once i get some parts out of the paint shop i might post an update. wheels are avid av20's! 17x8 +35
Where did you get your tailight wrap
Is that stock?
Did you heat wrap the headers ?
how is the cabin noise?
I’m with Tyler the golfer can you put the link up for the tsudo n1 / infernofab UEL combo
Hey I just told Tyler, the tsudo seems to be out of manufacturing now, but the Invidia N1 is a good replacement for it.
Here’s the link for the headers though:

@@matthewortega5492 you the man 👍🏾
@@matthewortega5492 do u need tune after uel
So which one of these would fit a 2011 Subaru Impreza outback sport? Hatchback
I believe both of these would fit your car just fine, there’s no notable differences between 2010/11 that I know of
@@matthewortega5492 thank brotha, so if i get the catted version I shouldn’t have issues with any dash lights turning on? Lol
@@bmcnorap9075 nah bro after I swapped both everything was good, I didn’t get any engine lights or anything, worked like a charm!
@@bmcnorap9075 did you end up getting it for your outback?
@@lukeeyerly3199 I sold the car with a borla catback & now i have a 13 sti with a titanium exhaust
Ik im a little late but where did u find ur headers at
infernofab
did the tsudo exhaust bolt up to the stock cat/down pipe ?
had to bore the holes out a little on the stock cat and just for best fitment i did end up getting a 2.5 to 3in adapter
Would that setup fit on a 2011 2.0L Impreza Hatch
if it's within the same year i think it should, i would reach out about the headers though in case i'm not 100% sure. catback should be just fine
Do you need a tune for these headers? Also ig?
I’m sure you could get a tune, but it’s n/a and I haven’t seen a single problem so I don’t think it’d be worth it
where did you purchase the tsudo n1? Ive been looking everywhere
I got mine from se motors a few months back. Not sure if they stopped making it or something? Your next best bet would an invidia n1
@@matthewortega5492 did you get one for impreza specific or does a wrx one work with the impreza
@@Dripz nah you’re not gonna find anything for regular n/a imprezas, what you’ll have to look for are wrx parts just make sure to check for whether it’s for a sedan or hatchback depending on whichever you have. In my case I had a hatchback and everything fit okay but I needed to bore out the holes on the stock mid pipe cause the screws that came with the exhaust were a bit too big but that was it. I also got some longer exhaust hangers just to help fitment. It’s not a perfect swap but it’s definitely doable!
@@matthewortega5492 ok thanks! do you recommend that I get the longer hangers?
@@Dripz yeah definitely, otherwise it’s a real pain to install and you’ll probably end up with the tip rubbing against and then melting your rear bumper which you don’t want. I just found some generic ones at my auto parts store that did the job but you have lots of options!
Hey guys does anyone know if Is there any droning for the muffler delete?
muffler delete definitely drones a little
How long did Inferno take to manufacture?
It’s definitely a bit of a wait, my example took about 5-6 months but between COVID and other things it made the wait a lot longer than it usually would be. I believe normally it’s around 2-3 months
Where’d u get those wheels From
They’re AVID wheels, AV06 I believe
where’d you get the headers ?
Infernofab, he has a website and sells them through there.
@@matthewortega5492 aight thank you !
So this passes inspection in NY?
yessir
@@matthewortega5492 hmmmm I wonder if it will still pass lmao
@@matthewortega5492 I’m still gonna buy it lol
@@galootthebrute1048 trust me it does haha, I just got my inspection done last week. Just make sure you get the one with a cat, if you don’t then you won’t pass inspection
@@matthewortega5492 ok
Wheel specs??
17x8 +35, on 225/45 tires
do u know where i could get cheap unl headers for 09 impreza r sedan? kinda cheap
eBay I’d guess, anything you find there though you’ll probably have to take to an exhaust shop to get fitted cause as far as I can tell no one makes generic uel’s for n/a cars, only way you’ll find them is with custom made sets which aren’t the cheapest
@@matthewortega5492 yeah i just dont know which one to buy u recon just any
did you have to purchase a flange adapter to make this fit the stock downpipe? if so is there a link?
These are made custom fit so no mods are necessary
Is the infernofab UEL just headers or full exhaust ?
It’s the headers + a Tsudo N1 catback
@@matthewortega5492 How much did that setup cost?
@@aidanpower560 I got both the headers and exhaust on a sale so altogether it was about $800-$900 if I remember correctly
Had any flames?
Oh no, there’s still a cat so it’s just noise, maybe w a tune you could accomplish that but I wouldn’t personally go for it
