Everytime I hear a Subaru WRX or Impreza go by, especially with an aftermarket exhaust on it, the sound just doesn't sound right. Like it's got a miss or something. One WRX owner I spoke with about this said that it's because it's a boxxer engine but, to me, that's a load of BS. Four cylinder VWs and Porsches do not sound like that (but they're not turbocharged, neither).
I almost want to say that Subaru engineers purposely tuned the exhaust so that the exhaust pulses come together and reinforce themselves to try to accelerate the turbo impeller or something.
What do you think?
