Question Why Are Our Evo's So Quiet From The Factory?

Ok, the Evo is a true performance car right? Other cars like the M3, Vette, STi, 350Z, all have an exaust note. Did mitsu know everyone(almost) were going to buy aftermarket exausts?

I'm glad we have a turbo because inline 4 sounds like sh*t.

Sti has the boxter rumble and other cars sounds good because they are Normally aspriated.

I perfer stock sound but most of us buy exhaust for performance.

the evo has a flapper in the muffler. you get a flapping exhaust note.
even when you buy an aftermarket exhaust its pretty quiet til you floor it. There are exceptions, certain exhausts are loud!!

Works exhaust has a very throaty sound, very nice, if that sort of thing appeals to you.
