Quite true.

There are simply too many differences in the designs of the two engines for you to replicate the sound of the Subaru with your Honda.

The STI has a turbocharged, horizontally-opposed 2.5 litre with a 1-3-2-4 firing order, 2 banks of cylinders, etc....

Your Honda does not.

Actually, the fundamental design has many advantages, and Subaru's boxer has remained relatively unchanged for many years with tremendous success and durability.

Let me know if you somehow manage to get your 1.6L N/T to sound like a 2.5L turbo.

Invidia Exhaust is MAYBE the closest thing I've heard, but it still doesn't sound like like a STI
