If you change any part of the exhaust, the sound note will change. If you change just the dp then it wont be very noticeable. There are alot of sound clips floating around in the 08 section. Search is you're friend. Good luck!

Should be a lot deeper, especially at WOT... I changed my cat-back at the same time, so couldn't say how much different.

The change would be imperceptible on a sound clip, it's that subtle. BUT there is a slight increase in volume and you hear the turbo a lot clearer as well.

I think the only way would be to have the exact same recording equipment and environment record with a stock DP and then with a Cobb DP. Maybe then you would be able to tell.

Installed the AP and downpipe and the noise change is minor.

It does change it slightly. This is a WRX, but still sounds the same.
