i don't know if it's Novel's owner or employee, but I have him as friend on Facebook and he drives the blue ISF on the video. He actually has more videos and pics on his wall (everything is in Japanese though), the office/shop looks nice and clean.
The sound on that ISF is way different than ours, as Danny said it sounds exotic!

the equal length headers make the sound difference.
On My R32 GT-R I switched from as straight as possible to equal length down-pipe, everything else being the same. The car sounded completely different, as in way better.

Yeup.. The Equal Length headers will change the sound for sure...
BUT, also their muffler design seems to have vacuum controlled exhaust flaps.
Based on the visible external vacuum actuator valve...
Kinda like the Corvette's have....
Click below for SUPERSIZE.
Material thickness & how the muffler is constructed ALL plays a role in the final sound output as well.
It sounds different for sure......

Wow such a dramatic sound difference. Easily sounds like a 10 or 12 cylinder exotic. I bet that has more to do with the exhaust tuning like JoeZ mentioned with the actuators than the headers. I also am willing to bet our setups make more power overall, just call it a hunch.

I will agree that it sounds different, but not a fan of that video... it sounds like imitation italy. A prefer the deep, throatier V8 rumble.
Interesting option though.
