panamajack Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 AFAIK twin scroll uses e/l headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 AFAIK twin scroll uses e/l headers I think by application, they have to be EL, which would give you the smoother sound you're looking for.

SBT Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Don't EL headers simply turn our low displacement 4 bangers into riced out civic sounding cars? To me, "smooth" is heard on cars like the RS4, but without a V8, ours aren't going to sound like that... I think that has to do more with the 6" rear melon launchers (with the attendant racket producing plug) that usually accompany said "riced out civic sonding cars"... "Smooth" appears to be relatively subjective. SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 20thGTItoLGT has unequal length headers. I swear it sounds like it has a misfire at idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeeeeYa Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Or a Twin scroll turbo (and accompanying headers/up pipe). TS=EL My APS EL headers are used in both single scroll and twin scroll installations, with different up pipe sections being the difference. My exhaust note is definitely 'smoother' than a stock turbo Subaru. At idle, however, the boxer signature is still present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekdut Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think by application, they have to be EL, which would give you the smoother sound you're looking for. SBT Yes of course, that is why I said "accompanying headers and up pipe". Its a fairly different sound that just EL headers and a single scroll up pipe too.

qikslvr Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 My UL headers changed the note a little to the smoother side, but I've heard the EL's will do much more to smooth it out. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
