I'm trying to compare my Evo's sound to some other machine. The stock exhaust is not loud at all, but the turbo whistles and engine has a very distinct high-pitched .... roar? under wide-open throttle.

The closest comparison I can think of is an air-cooled Porsche engine or a Subaru boxer engine. Anyone else have a better comparison? It doesn't have the loud ricer exhaust blaaaaat I expected at all.

 

y?

 

I don't think it sounds like a Subaru Boxer engine at all.

 

i wish my evo sounded as bas @$$ as an STI!!! that thing sounds amazing!!! our evo's dont sound as mean!!

 

I already said why. If you don't have anything constructive to post, "y" do you post anything at all?

Back on thread ...

 

Like a 2g eclipse ... Way off saying it sounds like a boxer engine ...

 

I think it sounds nothing like a Subaru, but it does have a slightly different sound then my 2G does. But I don't have an exhaust yet or hard pipes or a BOV on my Evo.

 

ahhh the stock evo sound, havnt heard that sound in a lonnggg loonggg time, sounded sweet when I was 17, but its been 2 years so i have no diea what that sounds like.

 

well then ill have to contribute...sounds close to my friends mercedes c32

 

Subaru's sound like a friggen gattling gun.

They sound cool, for a while... then kind of annoying.

 

stock evo is sooooo stock, there is like zero exhaust sound, go to the dealer and ask them to crank it up for you so you can hear it

 

i have a stock evo and it sounds like a p*ssy

Well maybe except the turbo.

 

Subarus have such a distinct sound mainly because of their non-equal length exhaust manifold design. If you had equal length headers on it, the sound would be way different.

 

had a wrx before my evo, boxer motor has no comparison. the evo motor does not sound nearly as good as a suby, no matter how long you drive it.

 

Stock sounds like... Whos cares? It doesn't stay that way long anyway. BWAAAAAAAAP
