Am I the only one that doesnt like how Subaru boxers sound?
If I want my car to sound like its misfiring, Id just unplug a coil pack

I don't mind that its branded as a Scion. I mind that they put such a horrible, tiny wheel/tire package on this car. The Greddy car proves that all this thing needs is some 20" wheels to look amazing. Stock, it looks like a cheap econobox....

Question, why is it that the wrx sounds the way it does? But a Porsche doesn't? Is it really just the 6cylinders vs 4?

Every engine and every exhaust put out different sound. F/I vs N/A sounds totally different too.
And I think Porsche Turbo has that freaking deep growl exhaust note too.

The porsche makes that sound?
just that a wrx/STi has that distinct sound that tells you "ohh I'm a wrx"

Yes.. all cars have different engine/exhaust sound. It all depends on the design of the parts.
A lot of cars have their "signature" exhaust sound..

If BRZ and FR-S have different exhaust, maybe? It's more likely the exhaust designs that changes the tone of that note.
I know all WRX/STi/Evo/MS3 have that deep growl with the stock exhaust. And once we change out the Cat Back Exhaust, that deep growl sound gets intensified. And once we swap out the downpipe, the sound gets even more intensified. So from this, I can say it is most likely associated with the exhaust design.

the car didnt sound to bad when he revved it in that video ^
And good point streek ka, but I think that might have been an earlier version. If you read the reviews of the FRS on autoblog, in their pics you'll see that car also. I believe they said it was the GT-86, but there wasn't any mention of a turbo/supercharged car there.

Here is a video my friend made of his Legacy GT.
He also added another resonator since the video was shot because the Greddy exhaust was too raspy.

Forgot to mention the headers.. For MS3, people call it an aftermarket "exhaust manifold", which is pretty much the same thing. It intensifies the exhaust note by far. 
Is the headers considered as an exhaust part or engine part? Or is it categorized as something else since it's the part that basically connects the engine and the exhaust?

I would categorize it as an exhaust part since it's technically called an exhaust manifold. But the naming does get kind of confusing when some cars, like the 3G TL, have the headers cast on to the engine block.

For those who say it sounds like Porsche - it doesn't. Subaru's N/A H6 with an exhaust may sound similar to the Porsche but thats it.

I know subaru did, but IIRC toyota let those questions hang... I'm not sure though. I get the articles mixed up as I'm reading for basically the same car.
