What's the best equal length header for a 2013 WRX. Current mods done to the car.... Cobb down pipe, invidia q300 exhaust, grimmspeed up pipe, id1000 injectors, AEM 320 fuel pump. Possible turbo upgrade down the road.

I forgot to mention that mine is swain coated too and it's worth the extra wait and $$$
It's likely the single best mod on the car. |

It may make it a little louder, but not exponentially loud as you are suggesting.
Loudness is directly related to the downpipe back. |

HAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Wrong. Headers and turbo have a HUGE impact on the volume of your exhaust. Have you never had performance headers and a bigger turbo installed I guess? |

I put the killerb holy headers on as noted on my post above... and the car seemed more mellow in tone. I have had both the maddad whisper catback and the blitz nur spec exhaust on the car (catless DP) and either way it seems less loud compared to the OEM headers. That may just be because it is smoother, and not as much "rumble" .... YMMV.

You spend too much time reading all that drivel in those cheap car magazines Yes, they have *some* affect on sound but just installing a header w/everything else the same will not be an exponential sound change. The size of the DP, the cat-back piping and, most of all, any muffler/resonator/cat will effect the largest change in sound volume Last edited by Samurai Jack; 05-23-2016 at 02:32 PM. |

Adding ELH and a ETS turbo kit made an ENORMOUS difference to the sound of my car. Night and day. Exponential. Huge. None of that lives behind the downpipe. Edit: In case it matters I have a Q300 that I love and one of the reasons I loved it was how quiet it is. That sucker sounds like the N1 I used to have after adding a big turbo and ETS turbo kit with ELH. |

Yes I have EWG but I am not even factoring that in. I am talking sitting at idle even. There is a huge ass difference in sound. I love coming back to NASIOC once in a while to remind myself why everybody outside of here considers it a collection of know it all ******** who have no clue what they are talking about. |

Jack, you can honestly listen to the video I posted and say that that person's car, which is, for all intents and purposes, the same as OP's car, is not significantly louder after just the exhaust portion before the turbo was replaced with an aftermarket part? I'm not going to join the pissing match between you and further, but isn't it obvious that car is louder by quite a bit? An ELH will smooth out the exhaust pulses, as Cold Soda explained. That's fact. But added sound pressure is added sound pressure and the header facilitates that. You could bolt on a tiny pipe from the turbo back, and yes, it would be quieter than what OP has as a turboback. But that's not reality here and we're trying to help OP decide whether he wants to add a header to his existing aftermarket turboback.
