   Just out of interest, what are they called?
   Are they standard?
   One went past me earlier on and sounded fucking class.

   Indeed, Subarus run Boxer engines, but the way you get the classic rumble from the exhaust is basically by decatting the exhaust and generally putting a much larger bore exhaust system on the car.
   I agree, they sound lush.

   When i used to have my powerflow on my saxo it sounded like a scoob. when it dropped down to 2k it used to bubble more than a subaru & would bang all the time

   subarus sound like they do, because the engine is a flat four, meaning the pistons go side to side instead of up and down buddy. they do sound nice dont they.

    lol it has nowt to do with how big the bore is or what back box is on it. its the uneven lentgh of the runners on the headers and aslong a i have a hole in my arse no car will sound like a scooby just by putting a scooby back box on
    why does a porsche not sound like a scooby? they have the boxer engine in
