When you ask What is the loud sound of a person traveling by car? Subaru created, they would probably refer to the explosion of the brand’s iconic four-cylinder boxerbecause it’s sound Subaru’s legendary racing cars spending time screaming through a Nordic forest. I recently watched a video about a straight pipe apartment six Subaru Legacy, and suddenly realized that it had a very similar height to a Porsche. Now I’m imagining how cool a straight pipe would be B9 Tribeca will be like that.
The horizontally opposed engine is the same as that used in Subarus and in by Porsche Sports cars do not sit in a straight line or V shape like most engines on the market, the pistons move horizontally or flat. This allows the mass of the engine to be lower in the vehicle, contributing to a lower center of gravity, and the opposing piston forces also give flat engines their exceptionally smooth characteristics.
Why don’t more manufacturers use this engine configuration? Flat motor Very large and takes up a lot of space in the engine compartment. This considerable width often means that the engine compartment is very tight, which can make simple maintenance tasks more difficult. They are also generally more complex than inline engines due to their variable nature. Porsche and Subaru have used this engine configuration for decades and spent millions of dollars developing them, so it makes sense for these companies to stick with their unique engine designs. However, it would not make sense for an inexperienced manufacturer to suddenly switch from an inline or V-shaped configuration and spend the necessary time and energy developing a boxer engine.
In addition to the technical challenges involved boxer engine, they can sound pretty epic with the right exhaust, and this YouTuber has certainly found the right exhaust to turn this Subaru into a screamer. More Subaru fans need to start modifying H-6 Subies so the hills can be filled with the mesmerizing sound of the great flat-six. Flat-four Subarus still sound great, but I’m ready for flat-six Subarus to have their moment in the spotlight.
