All evos queit at idle?

this may be a dumb idoitic qeustion but is it just me or are all evos quiet at an idle and a slow cruz??....like ive seen and heard all diff evos and they all seem queit at idle unlike an sti or supra.

only reason im wondering is becuase i have a DC sports TBE and am wondering why its queit on an idle...and if i can change the muffler to be louder what muffler?

i like loud things and i wont stop until its loud and fast...cant settle for just fasstt

thanks duuddeeesss

Trust me you'll want to leave it quiet as is.

I had the AMS TBE, and it idled louder then any other even I've seen in person. Eventually got me a fix it warning.

So I just sold the catback portion and got the HKS catback and its much quieter even with the AMS test pipe.

I love my AMS TBE. I'm not sure what you can do with what you have. I guess find out what type of flanges DC uses and try to match it up with a louder catback

Typical Boxer Engine..^^

Its obvious the only way your going to get your current TBE louder is with some nice lopey CAMS..! 272's Cosworth since you have a IX..

OFF TOPIC: Does Revolver offer cams for the IX..??
