What cam

Where and what kind of cam should I get if I want to get a little more power and a wobble sound, like a WRX?

Re: What cam

If your engine is stock you will not benefit from a cam that makes a wobble sound.

I've got a stock D16a6. I plan on turboing it soon. So I'm not really to concerned about power gains, just sound.

Re: What cam

Aggressive cam is not good for turbo. Too much overlap.

Re: What cam

The best way to get a WRX sounding car is to buy a WRX...a turbo'ed stock A6 will not be able to produce the sound of the turbo subie horizontal engine...with any cam

Re: What cam

The 'Wobble' sound that some WRXs make is from their headers. They're unequal length headers and that's what makes that sound, it's not the cam. I would turbo your car and get the cam later.
Good luck man.
