That gurgle pop sound (Subbies) is not from the catback exhaust....
It's from the boxer engine configuration with an unequal length turbo manifold.
If you switch to an equal length manifold, that noise is minimal...so I can tell you now, it won't sound like that for our cars....as our cars utilize a single port turbo manifold.
I personally love the way our cars sound w/ a cbe. That subbie gurgle pop is annoying imo. The cops love it though.

Lol.....wrong gurgle/growl/pop sound. The Subbies sound way different then that.
The Borla, catless sounds similar to an SRT4.
Look at Borlas exhaust set up compared to others.... 2.5" piping. ..No resonator. ..and a muffler. Run it catless downpipe - Sound achieved.
This can be said for probably any other exhaust system that is run catless WITHOUT a resonator and just a muffler.
I'm running the mbrp (3") with the mbrp catless downpipe and my car doesn't sound like that..... most likely do to the fact mbrp uses a muffler and a resonator in there exhaust system. If I were to remove the resonator only, my exhaust system would sound like that gurgling pop sound and be loud.
Like I first said, different sound on the subbies.

LOL at thinking we will get "Subbie" sound from a CBE. Subaru's sound nasty and in my opinion. With the right exhaust setup, mine never got annoying. I love my old Legacy GT's sound effects. I also had a custom built, 40-off CBE from Stromung (+catless downpipe).
If we had a real exhaust manifold, I can 110% guarantee there would be an unequal length header already made for our cars to achieve DAT SUBBIE SOUND, BRO. Our cars sound good in their own way with the right setup (Borla, OCD+Chambered muffler, to mention).
i think alot of this subbie sound discussion is from my comment, and thats not what I was getting at. I just think greddy could come up with an exhaust that was similar to the borla and I guess how I described it made it seem like i love the sti sound..
